the digital library should have always been open access now it will be fodder for the slop machine (i think that LLMs are going to wreck the peer review system for all but hard-experimental papers)

Came to say the same thing. Now remains the time to give the public access to the ACM digital library.

The real efficacy of the peer review system has always been somewhat questionable. That's a big reason why arxiv is so prominent.

I think I may be shadowbanned, but at what point do we start viewing LLMs as a national security threat?

ACM has been leaning heavily into AI-generated content for their journals in the past year, and this article is no exception: it appears to be 100% AI generated and full of LLM verbiage.

There's something hilarious about that, but also, snake eating its own tail.

TLDR: “we’re going to try to get money from LLM providers for access to our back catalog without getting permission from the authors or providing them with any share of the revenue”.

Scholarly article authors never expected royalty or permission for their scholarly works to be reused.
