arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

Can't remember who said it, but using ChatGPT for your college essays is like using a forklift to move the weights around at the gym.

It's the process that's important to your development, not the end product.

One of my dissertation chapters had a tentative working title of “did the internet create annoying people, or just make it easier for existing annoying people to find and annoy me?”

The answer is yes.

It’s remarkable that Zuck said “the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S." He not only ended the partnership, he threw US fact checkers under the bus.

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.
