While doing literature review for my thesis, I fell into the rabbit hole of references and stumbled upon a reference to Alan Turing's 1950 paper in which he explains the imitation game. It is an astonishing paper. I strongly suggest reading it, both for historical reasons, and as a solid article in computer science:

I wonder if it is even ethical to enlist affiliation to the university if my funding comes directly from a funding institute, I'm buying and using my own hardware and software (down to the HDMI cable and mouse), and the data is also coming directly from another organization. The coffee and food is also off my own pocket.

The only things they provide are electricity (computer, coffee), water (coffee), and internet.

Let know your thoughts.

Just being a newbie in writing for academic journals, how bad is it if reviewer 1 is like "great idea, well written, but x,y,z need some more attention", reviewer 3 is like "nice work, interesting points, though I miss a,b" and reviewer 2 is like "I thought this would be good but it's meh, you're too far from this journal's standard and why would this be novel cuz don't see it." ? @phdlife @academicchatter

Oh yeah. I have a 10k word count limit, already at 9993.

It is always reviewer#2 . I even once asked from an editor if they intentionally put the nastiest one as reviewer#2 as a sandwich technique. He said no, but tbh I don't believe him because it is always they rev2. Statically that is extremely improbable.

For me N=17 so far (proudly), but don't take my word for it, read articles:

And the best one by a large margin:
