do as Tom requests!
#ICML2026 authors, if you can flatten the curve on @arxiv.bsky.social submissions, the cs.LG moderators would really appreciate it. Today we have 4 times the usually number of submissions. Please select a random number between 1 and 14 and wait that number of days to submit! :-) #mlsky

We’re getting so many journal submissions from people who think ‘it kinda works’ is the standard to aim for.
1. The thing about science that these jokers don't understand is that science cannot be vibe-coded.

Whatever its flaws, the point with vibe coding is that you're trying to quickly make something that sorta works, where you can immediately sorta see if it sorta works and then sorta use it.
“The idea is to put ChatGPT front and center inside software that scientists use to write up their work in much the same way that chatbots are now embedded into popular programming editors.

It’s vibe coding, but for science.”

Furthermore, as I've previously noted, it is evidence that the authors did not check the LLM outputs. Hence, it is highly likely there are other errors in the paper. We should have zero tolerance and impose penalties. ArXiv is doing this.

I'm trying to find scholars who have studied how scientists assimilate the discoveries of other scientists. I'm trying to understand the potential impact of AI-assisted acceleration of scientific discoveries beyond the short term. Can anyone point me to people and publications?

Tickets for my next @greshamcollege.bsky.social lecture - about weird planets and our place in the Universe - are now available. It's free to attend - in London or online - but they will run out so do register fast.
In-person tickets open: Alien Earths 🌍✨

Book free: https://gres.hm/alien-earths

Prof Chris Lintott* explores why, among the thousands of exoplanets we've discovered so far, none is like Earth - and asks what makes our world truly special

Happy arxiv:2601 to all who celebrate! 😉🎉🔬

We are so thankful for everyone who uses arXiv everyday to share and discover new research.

Happy new year to all - here's hoping for a 2026 full of #openaccess science & lots of new discoveries.

I'd like to propose the following norm for peer review of papers. If a paper shows clear signs of LLM-generated errors that were not detected by the author, the paper should be immediately rejected. My reasoning: 1/ #ResearchIntegrity
