So there's a new 300-page research paper out about the Apple Neural Engine... and it's just slop. It isn't even consistent with itself, mixes up the generations of A- and M-series chips, and has hallmark paragraphs where the AI is trying to justify something to itself. The code is open source too, and it's so plain obvious that he ran an AI agent under his own account that generated tons of pull requests, not least because he commented on and closed some of the requests, but also because of a commit that references some pull requests, whose summary literally reads: "chore: remove dead code and slop cleanup". The best part? This guy isn't just some rogue student, he's an assistant professor!
