contents Let $f$ be sampled uniformly at random from the set of degree $n$ polynomials whose coefficients lie in $\{ \pm 1\}$. A folklore conjecture, known to hold under GRH, states that the probability that $f$ is irreducible tends to $1$ as $n$ goes to infinity. We prove unconditionally that $$\limsup_{n \to \infty} \mathbb{P}(f \text{ is irreducible}) = 1.$$
