Reviewers busted using AI against conference guidelines Dan Lyke / comment 0
The Transmitter: Scientists decry conference’s use of hidden prompts to snare AI peer reviews. The conference is The 40thAnnual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) in Sydney Australia, December 2026, the event's organizers have started putting text into the PDFs that instruct the LLMs to use plausible language (so a cursory read of the review might not catch that it's being watermarked, just being trite).

Stumbled upon Miss Magnolia Beaumont Goes To Provincetown, written and performed by Joe Hutcheson, and bummed that it was the last night cause I wanna recommend it.
Definitely gonna pay attention to what's going on at The California theater in Santa Rosa.
RLF law firm caught submitting slop Dan Lyke / comment 0
Here, the concerns raised by the initial filing were compounded by counsel’s response after the errors were identified. In correcting the Answering Brief, counsel merely deleted quotation marks while preserving the fabricated legal synthesis. Additionally, counsel’s assertion that parties should meet and confer before alerting the court to GenAI errors misstates the purpose of that requirement. The meet-and-confer requirement is designed to facilitate the resolution of disputes among parties. There is nothing to negotiate or compromise when an attorney submits false citations to a tribunal, and opposing counsel is justified in bringing such misrepresentations directly to the court’s attention.
Richards, Layton & Finger advertises themselves as "Delaware's largest law firm", so you think they'd know better. Especially in 2026, after we've seen so many of these amateur hour goofs.
Love that the law firm that took these dudes down a notch, DiBianca Law, appears to be a single woman shop.

The written Constitution is for the public. It is a feint, designed to distract the unserious from the much more important Constitution that exists exclusively as ideological vapor circulating around conservative legal thought.
