A global labour crisis and broken reputation signaling in FOSS has produced a deluge of software production that has basically nothing to do with low quality submissions and everything to do with capitalism.

FOSS has become the release valve for too much labour supply.

Syntactical (grammatical) text is signal but maybe not the kind of meaningful signal we all wish it was. Meaning, of course, resides in the reader, in the practice of reading (Wittgenstein etc), not the author. We used to use writing quality as a proxy for quality of meaning (thought), but that no longer works well.

The rise of AI writing has only been matched by superficial articles comprised of ideas salad that evince no deep theoretical or historical understanding. Crappy writing has and always will exist, AI doesn’t change that, it just makes awful writing grammatical.

Clergy worried about digital Luther, police AI. Old story, told anew!

New comment by quinndupont in "Unverified: What Practitioners Post About OCR, Agents, and Tables"

quinndupont — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 13:31:55 +0000

Very helpful analysis that confirms everything I’ve encountered. OCR remains a thorny issue. The author talks about professional workflows struggling with tables and such, but I’ve found it challenging to get clean copies of long documents (books). The hybrid workflow (layout then OCR) sounds promising.

Desperate job seekers. Nobody wants LinkedIn.

I have a similar idea for a little Potemkin village that AI agents can hang out in, do work, relax, etc. I think we will see more of this. Integrating machine to machine payment is a requirement.

New comment by quinndupont in "2% of ICML papers desk rejected because the authors used LLM in their reviews"

quinndupont — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 12:10:06 +0000

Imagine you are poor and a rich person offers you a choice to steal some bread or some beer. It’s not a real choice because you are poor and therefore steal. The rich person offering the choice is wrong.

It’s an unethical, false choice. The reviewers are not perfectly rational agents that do free work, they have real needs and desires. Shame on ICML for exploiting their desperation.

How is nobody considering the broader political economy of scholarly publications and reviews? These are UNPAID reviews! Sure, maybe ICML isn’t Elsevier, but they are cousins to the socially parasitic and exploitative companies, at the very least.

Hiding behind a false “choice” to not use AI or basically not use AI isn’t an appropriate proposal. This is crooked and shameful. We should boycott ICML except we can’t because they are already the gatekeepers!

I built my own MCP server to do some of this but I like the “enrichment” feature and NEO4J relationality.

New comment by quinndupont in "Billion-Parameter Theories"

quinndupont — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 18:06:46 +0000

Summary: good scientific theories have “reach,” which is not defined in any precise way. Reach has complexity and this can be handled with large parameter neural networks. Assumptions: mechanistic and deterministic worldview; epistemological perfection is the goal (perfect knowledge of facts).
