This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

Can't remember who said it, but using ChatGPT for your college essays is like using a forklift to move the weights around at the gym.

It's the process that's important to your development, not the end product.

One of my dissertation chapters had a tentative working title of “did the internet create annoying people, or just make it easier for existing annoying people to find and annoy me?”

The answer is yes.

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer. The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

We are excited to bring back ICWSM-Global Initiative also this year, 2 pg. applications due 15/01 for:
- Travel expenses coverage to the conference in 2025
- Mentorship support from a senior academic in the field

It’s remarkable that Zuck said “the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S." He not only ended the partnership, he threw US fact checkers under the bus.
