Chickens, chick, chickens chicken
Oh my goodness, the last EXTRA slide was the tip of the iceberg for me ^_^
How come I didn't watch this ever before?! This is a masterpiece!
From Bing/ChatGPT: The purpose of this paper is not clear from the current web page context, which consists of mostly the word "chicken" repeated in various ways. However, based on web search results, it seems that this paper is a *humorous presentation* by Doug Zongker, a computer scientist from the University of Washington¹. He created this paper to mock the format and style of scientific papers and presentations, and to demonstrate how little content and meaning can be conveyed by using jargon and graphs³. The paper was presented at the AAAS humor session in 2007¹³, and has been viewed online by many people who find it amusing²³.

That post got a lot of attention, and all recent submissions come after that mention.
I'd always thought it was an example of how peer reviewed journals are scammy. That this paper got accepted as peer reviewed science of some sort. But while of course peer reviewed science isn't objective (there are studies on this, peer reviewed naturally), this apparently isn't that.
It dates to 2003. I'm so surprised to see new commentary on this (blogs and what not) in 2021 and even later. I mean actual commentary and attempt to derive some insight from it on independent blogs/journals. Not just repeated link farming.
I particularly remember in one of my machine learning classes where we had to give project presentations, the degree to which you could almost substitute the slide decks for each other and it would have been hard to notice.
It doesn't mean that they have no content necessarily, merely that there is some ground to riff on here.
I particularly like the presentation as one of the few bits of humor I know where you can make a two year old laugh and you can make a veteran professor laugh, and everyone in between, yet they are all laughing about different things at incredibly different levels of intellectual sophistication. The presentation is truly a humor masterpiece.

(*) edit: chickenshit: I just spent some time putting together a chicken story made of mostly chicken-related unicode emojis, math/logic operators and "chicken", but the hacker news site apparently doesn't really support emojis and removed most of them, thus ruining the story.
So I pasted it here with emojis: https://paste.ee/p/XbUG3
Chicken.
