"Jacques Ranciére tells a mythical story about how the separation of signal and noise might have been accomplished in Ancient Greece. Sounds produced by affluent male locals were defined as speech, whereas women, children, slaves, and foreigners were assumed to produce garbed noise. The distinction between speech and noise serves as a kind of political spam filter."
— Hito Steyerl: Duty free art, pp. 50-50
The reference here is to a part of Ranciére's "Ten Theses on Politics".

Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a seriously cool visual novel love-letter to retro anime and 80s Sci-Fi
I don't play many visual novels, but I might have to break that habit again soon with Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog because it looks and feels like playing through a classic Gundam Anime story.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

I wonder if all of this now slop, but eventually "great", AI crap will start pushing people back to using #lynx and the like, or even #gopher. Why bother with images and videos any more when signal-to-noise ratio gets below a certain point.
With browsers we learned to use #adblock and the like, but how to #aiblock?
At this rate the only winning move might be just not to play, and move back to text based tools. Or enjoy your new friends if you never left 🙂

I'm begging gaming sites to hire people that understand what they're talking about.

I appreciate that @eLife decision to provide a 'partial feed' of work judged "solid" in order to get indexed was made in consultation with the community, and it serves researchers' interests to have their papers indexed. But, it does feel like likely that many will perceive this as more like traditional pre-publication peer review rather than an experiment in post-publication peer review, which is a shame.
(Edited because I think my original formulation of this post was too negative.)
