A researcher announces he has fully resigned from JMLR, arguing that journals "need a complete rethink": AI reviews by top models are now much better than time-pressed human reviewers, and one-time accept/reject gatekeeping no longer makes sense as literature moves faster than ever. He proposes treating the literature as a distributed data structure and starting over.
