Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

It's not quite clear to me that
We rely on some standard LLM detectors to focus our attention on papers that need to be checked.
implies they are using LLMs themselves. The phrase "LLM detector" is a bit ambiguous and could mean "LLM being used as a detector" or just "classifier program designed to detect LLM output".
I don't know of any examples that aren't LLMs themselves.
Ah okay, I didn't realize that.
Publish and perish!
Every author named as writing a paper bears full responsibility for the paper.
This has the nice added bonus that it will likely catch PI's that put their name on their grad students paper without actually doing the mentoring they were supposed to. It will also catch professors that coast (or at least inflate their citation index) by getting their name on papers they barely contributed to.
I am quite convinced that, under these arxive guidelines, every single major PI in the field will be banned within a few years.
Catching a lot of PIs that have allowed and even encouraged slop submission is a good thing in my book.
