ICLR hits 60,000+ submissions; researchers banter over how few are worth reading

Researcher Ziv Ravid quipped that ICLR received over 60,000 submissions this year — "kind of funny because I'm not sure I can think of 60 papers from this year that were actually worth reading." MIT professor Aviv Tamar pushed back: reading at most 300 papers would make a 20% hit rate decent. Ravid replied: "My agents are reading more papers 😏." A lighthearted exchange about paper flood and AI-assisted reading.
