I’m terrified this might one day happen to me:
I also tend to intersperse my articles with comments like “Professor X says [and what a stupid piece of shit he is] that this novel. . .” Maybe I should stop doing that.

Haha, I do that too. The paper however was temporarily removed and Gabor is asking for apology:
Overly honest references: “Should we cite the crappy Gabor paper here?”

I was also impressed by “inconsistencies with a priori predictions”…

The article is unreadable. This mistake was the best part about it. 🙂

Apparently I left a “note to self” when I submitted my thesis. It had become hard to look at that black and white text, and I was in a state of dissolution.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Soon computers will be writing papers. Have you heard of LIVINGSTON, the computer program that writes folk music?
“According to Svec, LIVINGSTON was developed by himself and Mirek Plíhal, a Czech computer scientist he met in 2013 in Dawson City, Yukon while they were artists-in-residence at the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture. The computer is essentially a database of Canadian folk music that uses machine learning algorithms to churn out new compositions that Svec wades through, selecting the best to record with a rotating cast of Canadian folk musicians.”
If this is true then it still requires a human to sift but can you imagine a computer generated paper on César Vallejo?

If the paper is as primitive and repetitive as folk music, then who cares, right? 🙂

Since the surrounding text talks about “shoaling,” I took this to be a paper about this fish called “crappies.’

Sorry, that should read “the fish.”

Pretty sure somewhere in my book is [FIX THIS SHIT LATER]. Possibly more than one place.
