The Cyber Show on "Career Scientists" (Resellers of Establishment Brands Like GAFAM)

Two years ago: 'Hype Agent' Geoff Hinton Would Need to Disclose Conflict of Interest (Regarding LLMs)

Daniel Lemire, Career Scientist

The latest "Passing Thoughts" of Andy are: "Digital Independence for the UK is a far more urgent issue than Mr. Burnham realises. We have indeed already become a totally vassal colony, where our values and politics are determined by foreign billionaires. It's ten years since I was writing about this loss of identity and political self-determination. Is it too late now?"

Andy previously wrote about the same problem in Finland, where he had worked for a long time. The university where he worked (visited) was becoming infested with Microsofters. In the UK, the university was trying to force all professors to use Microsoft (US) instead of E-mail.

Microsoft's ICC email block reignites European data sovereignty concerns

The Dutch took note and took action.

Andy's latest article said: "The "career scientist" - with PhD and research office by their mid-twenties - follows well oiled tracks and institutional signposts, steering away from controversial or "difficult" subjects."

We recently spoke about this in relation to Daniel Lemire, who keeps promoting slop plagiarism and Microsoft GitHub. We've accordingly blacklisted his site.

Stop being conformist wherein "conformity" means subservience to billionaires from another continent - people who work for "Super Demented". █
