It's worth saying that ml is in a very different position to most of academic publishing.

All of the serious journals are free to publish and fully open access and a significant amount of publication includes enough code that things are mostly replicable. GitHub has done wonders for our field. Also many tech companies use publications as an indication of prestige and go out of their way to publish stuff.

We're still drowning in too many papers and 95% of everything is shit, but that's every field really. Talking to musk on twitter is the not right place for a nuanced discussion about publication.

"Nuance" and "discussion" did not appear to be part of either participant's intent.
