roydanroy announces he has fully resigned from JMLR, saying he still believes in science but journals need a complete rethink. His argument: AI reviews by top models are now far 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. josephdviviano voiced agreement.
