Researcher proposes a journal for vibe-coded papers, with AI models as reviewers

ML professor Peter Richtarik proposes establishing a dedicated journal for "vibe-coded" papers whose authors may not fully understand them.
- Core argument: vibe-discovered artifacts may hold real value for humans or other AI agents, and shouldn't be lost just because tokens and electricity were burned producing them.
- Review mechanism: AI models would review for correctness and appropriate citation of related work, making clear what's actually new.
- Motivation: he says he's sitting on far too many "me+AI" discoveries to ever share in the traditional human-digested format, and we need to think bigger about future modalities of discovery.
- Context: the post is a quote-response to someone asking whether submitting papers you don't understand makes you feel obsolete — a free-rider.
