I see a lot -- by no means an overabundance, but enough to "trigger" me -- of laughing at some of the "obvious" research that gets posted here.

One example from a week or two ago that's been rattling around in my head was someone saying in reply to the paper (paraphrased):

That's just RAG with extra steps.

Exactly. But what were those steps attempting? Did it make RAG better?

Yes. Great, let's continue pulling the thread.

No. Ok, let's let others know that pulling this thread in this direction has been tried, and they should take a different approach; maybe it can be pulled in a different direction.

We are at the cusp of a shift in our cultural and technical cultures. Let's not shame the people sharing their work with the community.

10/10. Literally working of filing a patent at the moment and trying to make it as hyper specific as possible so a.) it doesn't overlap with anyone else's patent b.) pretty much only applies to what we're doing at the company.

I'm sure there's people in similar situations, but we're heavily incentivized to patent/publish something.
