I often wonder how academic publishing & peer-review can continue to work, in the era of the LLM. One specific issue: is the "megajournal" concept now dead? Pioneered by PLOS One, it was (loosely) the idea of a journal that will publish anything that meets basic quality criteria. Now in 2025 that seems naive, because (a) those criteria can be gamed by LLMs; (b) peer-review is unreliable to enforce the criteria, awash in generated text from both sides. #academicpublishing #peerreview #megajournal
