Also I wouldn't underestimate the amount of people living in rural areas of the US, Canada, Australia or Germany.

will also hold true for cost of mass to orbit. There's a lot riding on making that prediction come true for SpaceX, hence all the CapEx going into Starship.

Still, it's all very centralized platforms, which historically isn't the case for all the monetized free content you usually get from google search (reviews, recipes, travel guides, converter sites etc. etc.)

I'm aware. And I'm curious how that will play out. Because same as with Youtube, historically Google Search gave the means and the discoverability to monetize producing valuable free content.

Youtube is directly dependent on people producing free content. If Youtube wouldn't pay its creators as well as it does, it would simply die.

Same with Google Search. Good content and good SEO gives the means for websites with free content to survive. Google usually takes a cut on ad placement on those pages with AdSense.

If Google Search now doesn't pay content creators as well as it used to, what will happen to free content on the web? It's bad for Google and it's bad for the creators.

We will see.

But I would guess that the agents would already know their handlers well enough to answer for them.

Which will then get summarized for others by their agents.

There can't be any mistakes if no work is being done.

Of course it's AI.

They keep innovating even if it means cannabilizing their main revenue stream. Which increases the chances that you will not still be stuck producing film emulsions while everyone else is slowly making bank doing digital.

There's no real mainstream way outside of youtube to make meaningful money with free video content.

But yes, interesting thought which does kind of make sense. The marketplace-ification of the textual web.

Also keep in mind that most sciences usually don't produce commercially viable research (think social sciences, archeology, geography etc.)

And as others said: how the universities gets a cut from the spin offs differs from university to university.

The pattern

This isn't an insightful blog.

The names change. The topics change. The slop doesn’t.

For my full profile the login attempt with Firefox as a user agent apparently pushed it over the edge.

But on chrome it went through without a hitch.

Maybe there just isn't a good analogy for a more than 40 year old NPP.

Maybe an old NPP is just an old NPP.
