Who actually cares about real research these days? Everyone participating seems to turn a blind eye to the issues and act like its someone else's problem. Students & Professors: "Publish or perish", if everyone else is doping, there's no other way to compete. Read the other comment from the newly minted PhD student below. Industrial labs: Our research is so compute intensive that it doesn't matter what the results are, no one is going to be able to compete or reproduce the work anyway. Plus, let's not release any code because it was built on our proprietary closed source infrastructure. Gathering mindshare and acquiring talent is primary, science is secondary. Conference organizers: We would like to have a higher bar for reproducibility but we don't have the resources to setup a standardized evaluation benchmark and we can't force authors to provide code. The truth is that we live in a disingenuous culture where people no longer have the moral strength to do what is right. They would much rather prefer to engage in virtue signaling than fix any of the real problems for fear of repercussion from the community and missing their KPIs. Everyone knows this has been a huge problem for the past several years and we need a strong group of people to organize and do something about this.
