A lot of it looks like it was pissed on.
The computer-science section of the arXiv has declared that they can’t put up with all your shit any more.
arXiv’s computer science (CS) category has updated its moderation practice with respect to review (or survey) articles and position papers. Before being considered for submission to arXiv’s CS category, review articles and position papers must now be accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review. When submitting review articles or position papers, authors must include documentation of successful peer review to receive full consideration. Review/survey articles or position papers submitted to arXiv without this documentation will be likely to be rejected and not appear on arXiv.

But Sam can build the AGI! Sort of — OpenAI and Microsoft recently redefined “artificial general intelligence” as OpenAI making $100 billion profit. Yes, really.
I’m pretty sure that nobody has ever lain on their deathbed wishing they’d spent more time going into online communities and disagreeing with everything being said.

All participants in the Stubsack, including awful.systems regulars and those joining from elsewhere, are reminded that this is not debate club. Anyone tempted by the possibility of debate-club behavior is encouraged to touch your nearest grass immediately. We are here to sneer, not to bicker: This is a place to mock the outside world, not to settle grand matters of ideology, unless the latter is done in an extraordinarily amusing way.
I believe those sentences can be paraphrased as, “The term entire function is only used in complex analysis. The function f(z) = z^2 + 1 is zero at z = i.”
New research coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and led by the BBC has found that AI assistants – already a daily information gateway for millions of people – routinely misrepresent news content no matter which language, territory, or AI platform is tested. […] 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
-
31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
-
20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
-
Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.

And yet the BBC still has a Programme Director for “Generative AI” who gets trotted out to say “We want these tools to succeed”. No, we don’t, you blithering bellend.

(thinks) The Colossus of Chodes
The best pizza we had in college came from the place where the window by the front door had a spiderweb fracture and when you stood at the cash register you could see back into the kitchen where one old Italian guy was making pizza and six beefy Italian guys were standing around doing nothing.
General rules can have exceptions, is all I’m sayin’.
The only nice feeling here is that of every joke we science students made about the management school being validated.
