Why does everyone get so excited about performance on some benchmarks when we don't know what the training data is? How do you know that they're not testing on the training set? How do you reject papers that don't tell you the splits but get so excited by these PR announcements?

Remember this? A problem we didn't have in automated speech recognition tools until OpenAI decided they were going to do away with alignment (not the kind that so-called "AI safety" people do)? And they're giving us "artificial general intelligence" any day now right?
