Ask HN: Can Silicon Valley disrupt academic publishing?

In the last one and a half month, the new Bing was released, a bank went bankrupt and the government took it over, OpenAI released a ChatGPT API and made it 10 times cheaper than the previous API. Also, GPT-4 was released. Lots of big changes in a few weeks.

In that same period, a paper that we published has been sent to reviewers, reviewed and, well, that’s it, I haven’t even gotten it back yet. The editor is writing a response letter, according to the submission system.

Could someone in Silicon Valley please disrupt academic publishing too? Would be nice. Thanks.
