If the paper reinvents the wheel, they should indicate that clearly to the authors, pointing out which results are superseded. This AC just says "here's a bunch of papers you didn't cite, figure out whether this is new or not."

Unpunished Academic Misconduct: A Systemic Ethics Problem
By

Yep. There's a lot of bad behaviours in academia that go unpunished. This is not good, but probably also one of the milder ones.

Unlearnable Examples: False Security Against Future AI Systems
By

Looks cool! However there's a critique that's been applied to unlearnable examples (

AI-Generated Academic Articles Across Multiple Disciplines

Since people asked: what AI thinks academic articles on literature, city planning, medicine, and existential risk look like. Guess which is which. Definitely an alternate universe.

A puzzle about the Industrial Revolution: unlike now, there seemed to be little correlation between the education of workers & early industrial growth. This paper shows why: it was the presence of highly educated elite knowledge workers (& their inventions) that powered growth.

Unethical AC Review Practices: Weaponizing Citations Against Researchers
By

Unethical pro-tip: if you're an AC and you want to make someone else look bad, write a terrible meta-review and demand citations to many of their papers. Reminder that, despite the repeated authors here, we don't know who the ACs are. Don't jump to conclusions.
