This simple concept, beautifully orchestrated and captured by Kyle Bean and photographer Aaron Tilley is full of anxious anticipation. Indeed, that’s the name of the series.

We love the moment of capture, so much potential energy stored in that freeze-frame. Great stuff.

The set design shows kinetic objects about to create their own brand of chaos, from smashing champagne glasses to cracking eggs, to the drip of ink on a bright white shirt.

Late Thursday evening, Thomas Dietterich, chair of the computer science section of ArXiv, wrote on X: “If generative AI tools generate inappropriate language, plagiarized content, biased content, errors, mistakes, incorrect references, or misleading content, and that output is included in scientific works, it is the responsibility of the author(s). We have recently clarified our penalties for this. If a submission contains incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation, this means we can’t trust anything in the paper.” [...]

“The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue,” Dietterich wrote. Dietterich told me in an email on Friday morning that this is a one-strike rule — meaning authors caught just once including AI slop in submissions will be banned — but that decisions will be open to appeal.

I see no cognitive dissonance in being pro-AI, in general, but vehemently anti-slop.
