I was flagged as "irresponsible" reviewer at NeurIPS for a paper providing no algorithm, no theory, no data, no analysis... it is simply an opinionated, colloquial review. I said as much. Instead of looking at it, the AC forced me to add to my review, threatening to reject papers of my co-authors.

🎤 An Impression from last nights #ScienceSlam, organized by the #Tübingen AI PhD and Postdoc Assembly (TAPPA) @Kupferbau @unituebingen.bsky.social The audience got a glimpse into AI-related research ranging from self-driving cars to deep learning, computational neuroscience, and probability theory.
A lecture hall full of students. The students are applauding. At the front of the lecture hall you can see eight people standing in front - two are wearing lab coats, six are in plain clothes.

When I went to the US in 1998 as a high school student, the "land of the free" offered remarkable new perspectives on my home country Germany. As a liberal-left German, the flags, the pledge of allegiance and patriotism were strange, yet also fascinating in a weird way.

We had a paper accepted today! In the first round, Rx provided a long, forceful rant why our paper wasn't a big advance, how the figures are poorly done and so on. We pushed back politely and answered the points we thought were reasonable. Today, Rx: "Sorry for my rant, the paper is good." Cudos!
