The publication model in academia is predatory and elitist, but have you considered that your paper just wasn't that good?

Almost every scientific paper published in every field is "world first" research, and the job of tier 1 journals is to decide what deserves to be signal boosted, and what doesn't.

This response to rejection to me confirms the fears implicit in the article linked above. Not only is private AI research not transparent and not documenting its work, it also has a deep rooted culture issue.
