This is where I collect and write things, mostly on art and artificial intelligence. Established in 2010, by Vaishak Belle.
Sometimes in academe (the only experience I can speak of), we need to fight the good fight (admittedly, how it may seem to us). Defend or champion the candidate, the paper, the project, or even resources, because it deserves our support. It may be the underdog but that’s not necessary.
Of course, it’s easier to give up, to not care, to simply go on, and write the next paper. But if you are not defending something that deserves to be discovered and investigated, how does any of this matter?
