The debate over “LLMs as annotators” feels familiar: excitement, backlash, and anxiety about bad science. My take in a new blogpost is that LLMs don’t break measurement; they expose how fragile it already was.

An acceptance rate of less than 10% is really tough.

Also, if you are a reviewer for a paper with 3 weak accepts: Consider becoming the champion.
IMO often these are very solid papers. If no reviewer has objections, why not just accept it (esp. at large ML conference)? Makes the authors happy & there is one less resubmission in the peer review system

The asymmetry between the 1st and 4th options shows that weak accepts and weak rejects don't mirror each other. Uniformly weak support for a paper can be damning, and a paper usually needs a champion.
