giffmana warns that AI-generated submissions are effectively DDoS-ing classic academia, and without an "academia Cloudflare" — automation plus a credit/point system requiring buy-in from all 10 major AI conferences and journals — the system is toast.

The thread captures the crisis of peer review under AI-generated paper floods and possible scalable defenses.
