Meta is vowing to crack down on creeps misusing its Ray Ban smart glasses. Whether it will be enough to regain trust remains to be seen.

another (sloppy) trend: papers compare new solutions against previous work by directly copy-pasting results and: (a) fail to use the same test distribution in their experiments; or (b) use a different metric. This affects 50% of the papers in my batch but only 2 reviews spotted it #ARR #EMNLP2026
new level unlocked: authors practically writing the meta-review as part of a "summary rebuttal" #ARR #EMNLP2026
There are many things machine translation still can't do. Help us steer the next direction by contributing hard-to-translate inputs (and be on a cool paper).

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
