signals, sacrifices, and academic fraud

I bit off the sky god’s parts and swallowed them whole.

1. Chinese software churns out publishable papers in two hours — and it’s flooding academic journals
2. A star system pulsing every eight minutes — and nothing explains it
3. Brain implant trial volunteers want fewer NDAs and more recognition
4. Chicago schools call Google’s bluff on Search-for-AI ultimatum
5. Ancient Peruvian mass sacrifices tracked El Niño events — but daily life was peaceful
6. Eric Schwitzgebel revisits AI rights — and the argument is harder to dismiss now
