They agreed that policy A is fine for them. Then they got assigned policy A and they were notified about this.

Not hard to see why. Being an author helps your cv. Allowing you to be an author for tangential or minimal contribs can help keep good relations, especially if there are future options and financial things depending on having good relations

Ok but you need peer reviewed publications to graduate with a PhD. And if you retort that the whole academic system is obsolete, well, it still carries a lot of prestige and legitimacy that makes politicians interested in maintaining it, so

Are you talking about just frontier LLM agent stuff or all of the scope of ICML? I wonder what your subfield is.

A lot of those industry papers are in collab with an academic lab or even often first authored by a PhD student who interns in a big tech lab.

Your job as an academic is to disseminate your research and engage with the research community through service such as reviews, talks etc. It's part of the job, and people get a salary as university employees or company employees for t

Based on my experience on HN, many people can't see the tells. They may pick up on a few meme things like emdashes or "delve" or "rich tapestry", but can't detect the general tone or cadence reliably. So maybe

I disagree with this. Usually the products are based on published research. This is not easily seen by the enthusiast power user base. Of course it's only a small fraction of all papers that end up actually being used. Most are mainly

Because someone has to do it. Conference submissions have ballooned as the field itself has ballooned. Whats your suggestion?

I'm not surprised at all. The ML research community isn't a community any more, it's turned into a dog-eat-dog low-trust fierce competition. So much more people, papers, churn, that everyone is just fending for themselves. An

To be clear, as the article says, these authors were offered a choice and agreed to be on the "no LLMs allowed" policy. And detection was not done with some snake oil "AI detector" but by invisible prompt injection in th

Sometimes the cost is human expertise. If the tech allows you to get stuff done with less competent staff, it's a win.

Pretty sure it's just the pendulum swinging. Today its all about serious and clean and minimal. Then it will be whimsical and maximalist again. Skinny jeans, baggy jeans. Skeumorphic, flat.

That's way too far from the article in question and I don't think it helps to discuss them together. Now if you propose that sciences and humanities should be brought more into conversation I can get on board but it's not eas

Why won't they check? It says it on the stick with text. It doesn't look identical.

He is obviously talking about computer science. Yes, I know in biology or medicine you can often only access the experimental devices during set hours and the lab may not be accessible 24/7 etc. But in computer science the schedule is

This varies widely between fields and institutions. Getting a PhD position nowadays in ML or computer vision is much harder. You need to already have publications when you apply and need to have experience specifically in the subfield, give

Depends on your goals. Even as a plumber you have to think about what's worth what, how you specialize, and what the price is. Even as a doctor you may be under appreciated and the explicit goal is not so explicit all the time and some

"How to be a top YouTuber" by MrBeast. "How to be a top athlete" by C. Ronaldo. "How to become a popstar" by Ed Sheeran. You know that such advice will have limited usefulness to most of the aspiring people. Ka

That's what used to be thought about any school at all, then about high school diplomas then about a university diploma. Each time it was decided that by expanding the number of people they would get uplifted to a better standard of li

This is very true especially nowadays. You typically need several publications to even start a PhD in competitive fields like AI, so people are familiar with the system already.

Too many people stay in academia out of inertia and being comfortable with the "school" mode of existence and are afraid of the broad wide world and the decisions involved. They finish their masters and liked the classes and the t

That was a reaction to "Not sure why this gets voted to the frontpage.", not to any correctness claims.

Better get ready for almost all software to use AI assistance in its creation. You can build great things using AI agents, and you can build trash. Your ideological opposition to that is not shared by as wide a percentage of developers as y

I think the tells of AI video are becoming more subtle, similar to language. It's no longer so much that the visuals are categorically impossible, such as mangled hands or impossible geometric arrangements of objects, but you can still

I read a lot of LLM text every day, so I'm quite good at seeing the cadence, the narrative structures and the phrasing styles. It's not just "it's not just X but Y" or emdashes. I could point them out and you would

My point was more about how dated something feels, how much it esthetically feels like a different dusty era.

It's also not clear from the other side. Do you give a lot of guidance, so the intern becomes reliant on always having someone telling them what to do exactly on the micro level? Or let them work it out slowly, and during that process
