This was a good read. I believe that regardless of your opinion on AI, replicability, open science etc we can all find common ground on at least some of these points.

arXiv one of the latest to begin blanket rejecting of papers due to AI. This follows Plos and Frontiers approach to papers using NHANES data.
I feel a drastic change will eventually come to academia in terms of publication, open data etc. How will we adapt?

I like the idea of a week long process to write a 10 page recommendation letter in Stanford law. Seems like a good way to evaluate someone's contributions though needs to be done well to minimise bias
