It's fine by me if they generate it, as long as it works and they know how... but I've been getting loads of roughly plausible but non-functional code, with hallucinated API calls etc. 😒. Not that many emojis though (in docs only).

ICML found hidden prompts in accepted papers. They have released a statement icml.cc/Conferences/...

Yes, it’s unacceptable. So is using an LLM to review a paper. Peer review is so broken.

#Eurovision is tonight, and here's a hilarious fun fact about it: Israel has started a massive offensive against civilian populations in Gaza with the explicit aim of conquering the entire territory and ethnically cleansing its population, and Eurovision has aggressively refused to give a shit.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.”

Should We Start Taking the Welfare of A.I. Seriously?

As artificial intelligence systems become smarter, one A.I. company is trying to figure out what to do if they become conscious.

How do LLMs compare to human crowdworkers in annotating text spans? 🧑🤖

And how can span annotation help us with evaluating texts?

It’s kind of quaint to think the big worry a few years ago was that AI chatbots would destroy humanity. We’re quite capable of doing that without their help.

The CVPR program chairs acted on the reviewing crisis in ML/CV conferences. This is a first!

Papers of authors who acted as irresponsable reviewers have been desk rejected. 19 papers are affected in 2025.

This has also been announced for ICCV 2025.

Ok here's the theory so far for how the LLM-generated ARR submission experiment went down. Researchers generated papers, then created fake reviewer profiles by identifying existing papers from a real author st the set of papers would maximize expertise affinity score wrt the LLM-generated paper.
