Reality check
Back in 1945 real inventors took out patents and real discoverers wrote papers.
Today in 2023 corporates churn out patents as fast as their lawyers can draft them in order to carve out monopolies, while sponsored scientists churn out papers as fast as the academic publishers will accept them in order to build their chances of a real job offer. In both cases, genuine novelty is subservient to what they can get away with pretending.
Result: in 2023 the noise has risen vast orders of magnitude. The genuine is probably much as before and still detectable under there if ArXiV cared to pass it through LIGO's detection algorithms.
