Curious passage: “We must, absolutely, insist on a higher standard for scientific discourse. The aim must be to communicate, clearly, with people in the community --- certainly this is an historical requirement for publication.” Historical requirement? I can think of sooooo many counterexamples…

Fair point. I think it would have been more accurate and just as rhetorically to call it a "historical aspiration for publication".

Right. Like, that is* the norm (in the prescriptive sense, not descriptive), the goal, the target, even if it wasn't always met. * or was? I really hope we've not gotten to the point where past tense is appropriate here.

That might just be the best opening page of a paper that I’ve ever read!

"A much shorter paper is appropriate". I'll say! The ~60 page LLM paper can be clearly explained by humans in like 8 pages, including figures. Also love this: "as people, we can verify such claims with our mental toolkit".
