Seems like one of the most important research problems for CS academics is llm-supervised peer review. If we don’t solve it the academic institutions are toast. It seems easier than building new institutions.
Shots fired! Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and xAI have been sued for colluding to slow down AI Today, they will collude to slow down AI; tomorrow, they may collude to ban open-source. It is in their interest to do so... On balance, there is very little evidenc…
