It's alarming that NeurIPS papers are being rejected based on "ethics reviews". How do we guard against ideological biases in such reviews? Since when are scientific conferences in the business of policing the perceived ethics of technical papers?

It's rare to find a paper that doesn't include at least a sentence or two about why the subject of the paper is important, or something about how it could be (positively) used. Broader impacts are already talked about, just not the negative ones.

No, papers typically talk about immediate impacts, not broader impacts. (That's the reason the term "broader impacts" was coined.) Conflating the two is part of the problem.

Maybe I'm missing some nuance, but if a paper is __only__ about faster gradiant descent, then broader implications aren't necessary, but if the faster gradiant descent is embedded in an applications paper why would it be a neg for ethical review to happen on the applications?
-
NeurIPS currently requires a section on ethical implications and review by an ethics board for all papers. Patently absurd.
