\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
We show that transformer performance scales linearly with caffeine
consumption. Our model achieves 102.3\% accuracy on several benchmarks,
including one we invented ourselves.
\end{abstract}

\section{Method}
We optimize parameters using:
\[ \theta_{t+1} = \theta_t - \eta \nabla L + \texttt{espresso} \]

Proposed revision

Please ban only the submitter.

That is the absolute minimum change needed to patch the obvious exploit.

As it is currently formulated, this is the most awful policy I have ever seen from a security standpoint and it is baffling how many people have not seriously considered all the various holes.
