you are complaining about a problem with this paper without explaining what it is.

When I say “how” I mean like how u/glouwbug mentioned: Formatting. But more so Structure.

When I read artifacts by Frontier Labs I notice a trend towards deteriorating lexicographic architecture. Like how a textbook or larger tomb is constructed for the reader to navigate.

Instead, now I see continuous monotonic text. It’s as if the author expects us to chuck the artifact into an LLM in order for it to inform us of meaning.

Single column PDF. This is the frontier.

		I find single column much easier to read than dual. Though the line spacing is too much in this concrete example.

Granted I didn't comb over it but to me the big issue was that it was just a big data dump without any material attempt at meaningful analysis.

That and all the figures were at the bottom which was kind of annoying.

		The figures down 80 scrolls towards the bottom is what bothered me also. Most of the time with studies, the figures are where you should go first. It's not uncommon to find cases where the text makes claims that the numbers don't support. It also, pre AI era, took at least some extra effort to make data visualizations, so the authors would focus on visualizing the most useful/impactful/interesting data sets.

Likely just formatting

Making valid complaints would require actually reading it.
