ML researcher Michael Moor posted a satirical joke: his lab has k NeurIPS 2026 publications, deliberately leaving k undefined — "since k is a large number, this means our science is great, many even say the best science." It's a self-aware jab at academia's habit of flexing publication counts, with replies playing along: "whoever wins k NeurIPS papers, wins."
