It's not that easy to compare. Tokyo Metropolis includes various remote islands, so the official density is lower than NYC's. If we consider just the 23 wards, the population density is higher than NYC's but none of the wards seem to have a population density as high as Manhattan's.

you got it boss

I wonder how they plan to deal with the problem of hallucination. For human authors, we generally assume certain norms of scientific responsibility. For AI-generated papers, I think we will need reproducibility and other mechanisms to validate claims.

This requires a community-wide solution. And such a solution was indeed developed in 2008 in the DB community: a proper hybrid journal-conference model with monthly deadlines. ARR copied many of the ideas, but still major differences.

What is transformative about LLMs:

Plurality (majority?) of students are no longer reading or writing papers

Soon the majority of all known writing will be synthetic

Videos of people now indistinguishable from the real thing

Net new types of fraud with no known counter

etc

Take it seriously!

I get to inbox zero all the time by turning actionable emails into to-do items that can then get sorted/prioritized along with other to-do items.

With this you can easily get to inbox zero, which feels great, though you will still need strategies to manage a growing to-do list :)
