Can't stop thinking about the #MadMen #HBOMax disaster, and how the dynamics of today's markets at scale basically erase any love or respect for the firms' own crafts. Imagine telling someone in the 00s/10s that HBO would do something like this to one of their top shows of all time.

Let’s rename it Intl Conference of LLM Reviews, so we get to keep the same acronym 😬 #compsci #compsky #academicsky
Why should universities keep academics who, instead of writing their papers, reviews, etc., use AI to do it for them, #AcademicSky?

Controversy has erupted after 21% of manuscript reviews for an international AI conference were found to be generated by artificial intelligence.

Just write “re-enters”. I beg you.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

Another great day for the community How can we ask for (let alone command) trust from the world at large, when we cannot even trust our own tools? #AcademicSky #compsky #compsi #iclr
This is by a large margin the most serious problem and mistake in conference peer review I have seen in my career. Apparently a many people were aware of this and many could find out who their reviewers were. This probably has created a large number of unnecessary enmities.

We know who the culprit is, and honestly it is unbelievable that we cannot have good things because scarce (and might I add, publicly funded) resources are stolen by reckless gold rushers. Rate-limit or link-maze them all to hell, honestly. #compsci #compsky #academicchatter
There is a massive flood of website requests coming to #dblp from all directions. We are usually able to cope most days, but not so much the past four days. We are sorry, and we are actively working on it. 1/2
