Lucas Beyer (bl16)(@giffmana):At this point, "researchers" are basically DDoSing classic academia. It's pretty sad to see. Either someone comes up with, and executes, a CloudFlare for academia, or it's toast. And the only thing i can think of that might have a chance to scale is more automation combined with a credit/point system like we've discussed a few times here on X over the years, but it needs simultaneous buy-in and coordination from all ~10 major AI conferences and journals, so it's a heavy lift. But if nothing big happens, i think it's game over soon.
