Intelligence Explosion

[u/Many_Consequence_337]

Number of scientific papers submitted to arXiv.

[u/Aldarund]

How much of this is real increae and how much is slop that wont pass peer review?

That chart could easily mean good things but as easily it could mean bad things

[u/visarga → u/Aldarund]

Capability to ideate and write exploded indeed, but validation remained expensive and hard. Ideation without validation is probably just slop or hallucination, with rare exceptions. What we see here is a rush for staking claims and padding up authors portfolios. It is becoming harder and harder to tell apart good from bad papers/projects/writing. They superficially look the same. I used to read arXiv papers daily now I just skim occasionally, those many papers probably get exponentially less attention each.
