- Reposted by Lana SinapayenMen, it's worth pondering that these academic men are the same ones that teach young women straight out of school. These are the men given academic authority over young women's careers. It's really challenging for young women to negotiate the minefield of creepiness these men create for them.

- It also, maybe, shows a way out from societal norms where the ultra rich are allowed to exist. No matter how rich, people still grovel for in group approval. But people with high in group reassurance don't all dream of being ultra rich. So, maybe, a hint towards control mechanisms...

- Reposted by Lana SinapayenWhile analyzing our 2025 submission data, I noticed that the US is now the primary producer of slop submissions (which includes fully and partially-generated/assisted/whatever). Congrats. You're #1. Happy? You should be embarrassed. Please stop. (In 2023 and 2024, the US wasn't in the top three.)

- Reposted by Lana SinapayenWhat is wild to me is the defense, BY THE NEURIPS BOARD, that fabricated citations do not mean "the content of the papers themselves [is] necessarily invalidated" It does. It very much does. What do you think citing other work is for? What do you think writing a paper is for? What do you *think*?
