- conveniently omit well known benchmarks because not SOTA, 30 points
- forbes 30 under 30, 100 points
20 points for doing the usual motte-and-bailey or hedging in the form

I mean, that language pattern is often appropriate but for people who are paying attention today it is a sign of... something.I mean, I am tired of Copilot giving answers like "You're not a fur, you're a therianthrope" It is really a tracer, I think, for someone for whom the lights are on and nobody is home, like they want to be a top blogger about AI but they haven't caught on that the "It's not X, it's Y" pattern is a tell.
it looks kind of messy on my 1200p monitor, maybe its better on high res
You may already be aware of John Baez’s “Crackpot Index”, which provides a simple tongue-in-cheek scoring system for assessing whether a research contribution to physics is likely “revolutionary.” The list contain such gems as “40 points for comparing yourself to Galileo, suggesting that a modern-day Inquisition is hard at work on your case, and so on.”
In the age of large language models, we direly need something similar but for “marketing-speak.” It feels like for every company that wants to actually pitch an interesting product that might do something good for the world, there are at least three others that turned up the “vibe check” to eleven and misuse any bit of terminology they can get their hands on. Thus, a humble attempt at classifying marketing materials along with a grading rubric.
As time progresses, I am sure I will have to come up with an extended scoring. Until then, may your inbox be blissfully empty of long e-mails devoid of content.
