I bet French people can't wait for their electric bills to halve overnight! (/sarcasm).
On a more serious note, EDF, France's suppliers sells their provision as 99.99% clean, which is not wrong, I guess, but a good selling point to their business.
I feel this whilst learning (trying to) German: when I think "how I would say this in German?" I got nothing less than a blank on my mind. But I'm a good "speaker" though, and sadly, I feel I'm not going anywhere as well...
I once thought I lost a paper I'd written a while back (before OverLeaf and Cloud), and I've rewritten it only to find it back again: when I compared the versions, the second one had better sentences altogether. The core framing was there, but the quality was higher.
I agree that being the first is important.
I have had a paper reviewed, then rejected, only to see the same idea elsewhere a while after. I cannot say the reviewer "had the same idea" nor prove, but it is known to happen. Putting into arXiv remediates that.
However, my personal issue with that is that the journal might not be that keen to want to publish your paper after knowing it was publicly available elsewhere, as they thrive "innovation" and "being the first" as well.
It's a very difficult problem, indeed.
Roblox is a huge problem for me, as a parent of a 8y kid.
Let me explain: I try to block violent apps in his tablet using Google's Family app, however, Roblox internally keeps 'offering' my kid almost any game, whatever if there's violence, drugs, killing others, and so forth.
It's a headache and a source of fights, so, I thank the responsible (/sarcasm).
He surely has a point stating that creators will compete with AI generated content in the years to come. Virtual stars are already plaguing the platform and companies are seeing those as costing less to produce content (and they don't have to handle PR campaigns whenever the 'physical' stars do something controversial).
