I guess there will be a phase in the future where we see a lot of nightmare style horror movies with not-quite-right movement, proportions etc. basically generative ai can perfectly target the uncanny valley.

True to a degree but you can do similar things with thinkpads and keep them longer. The company can always extend lifetime by enabling repairability and upgradeability. But this goes against their profit since they then can’t sell a new product every two years. The consumer shouldn’t have to find ways around planned obsolescence and feel superior if they manage to solve this puzzle.

Yes random scientists from your field do a review and an editor consolidates that into an accept/deny result with potential requirements for revision. But this often can take weeks to months since nobody actually wants to do these reviews and it’s really dependent on who you’ll get as reviewers. So the usual approach is to reapply several times over months if you think your submission is good.
