many people seem to be upset by >50k submissions to ICLR. i think we should celebrate it! more people are doing AI (including AI safety) research - isn't it amazing?as for how to navigate the growing amount of papers, luckily, Larry Wasserman formulated a solution back in 2012! pic.twitter.com/U85FGshTqw— Maksym Andriushchenko (@maksym_andr) September 20, 2026

This looks like the collapse of peer-reviewed science. pic.twitter.com/xItwztcWuM— BURKOV (@burkov) September 19, 2026

The conference / peer-review model is dead and its corps is moving only because so many moving things are attached to it. https://t.co/dRaGTDSbUs— François Fleuret (@francoisfleuret) September 19, 2026

If it's isn't obvious already, it is the end of papers as a measure of productivity, expertise or accomplishment. The odds of publishing in "glam" conferences & journals also very quickly approaches random & the time for gate keeping review increasing exponentially. 1/— Anshul Kundaje (@anshulkundaje) September 19, 2026
