“In a physical world of .. printed journals, bundling made sense. In a digital world, we are increasingly constrained by boundaries that no longer make sense. In a world of AI, what does the bundle prevent us from seeing?” 🎯 Great piece by @row1.ca on unbundling research into modular knowledge! >

(Maybe? hot take): Garbage in, garbage out is the wrong abstraction for #AI safety. Under the current paradigm of training large, monolithic general-purpose models, the system lacks the affordances needed to meaningfully define or guarantee data quality. 🧵 1/15 #Data #GenAI

“Are you running from bombs?” This is a reminder that media doesn’t just inform us, it “trains” us. And unless we slow down, we can turn assumptions into identity without meaning to. A great piece by Ahmed Albusaidi about stereotyping and the Middle East. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/how-...

Academic publishing is currently experiencing a viral spread of “zombie citations.” I tried following one to see how these references are infecting academic knowledge systems codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/2026/01/30/t...

#ICML2026 authors, if you can flatten the curve on @arxiv.bsky.social submissions, the cs.LG moderators would really appreciate it. Today we have 4 times the usually number of submissions. Please select a random number between 1 and 14 and wait that number of days to submit! :-) #mlsky

“The idea is to put ChatGPT front and center inside software that scientists use to write up their work in much the same way that chatbots are now embedded into popular programming editors. It’s vibe coding, but for science.”

OpenAI just released Prism, a LaTeX editor with embedded ChatGPT for free. Writing a paper has never been easier. Clogging the scientific publishing pipeline has never been easier. It took me 54 seconds to write up an experiment I did not actually conduct. prism.openai.com

We've got ISSUES. Literally. We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do? arxiv.org/abs/2601.07563 A 🧵 1/n

This aged like...,well, milk.

The kind of research that makes one jealous. “How does India Cook #Biryani”

"We are already gathered in datasets. We don’t know each other (yet), but our images, words, and information are jostling together in mathematical soup around the world. We might be stored next to each other in a folder. Electrons might zap through my face and into yours. We might be touching." 🔗 👇

Two things: 1. The whole Chicago Knowledge Lab endpoint is precisely to find generalizable principles for scientific production that can lead to some kind of automation; 2. They used a custom LLM, so it's like feeding your coded papers into a sophisticated regression, not into ChatGPT.

If you made a Venn diagram of every weird person I knew in Silicon Valley during the first dot-com boom, centrifuged it, extracted the pellet, and re-suspended it in high-proof eugenics with a splash of AI, you'd end up with something like this. It'll take a strong stomach to read this "gift" link.

I love #AI. We all must absolutely unequivocally luvvvv it !!!!! I mean what is progress other than a technology that works 24/7, doesn't unionize, doesn't need healthcare, and politely replaces entire departments without even asking for a desk.

What a wonderful essay! Such timely questions around how we make social media into more than “just” social media, but also into information ecosystems that help us think better, together. Adding a few thoughts that came up while reading 🧵

I've often wondered why so many academic scientists want large labs (i.e., numerous graduate students, postdocs, etc). Today it occurred to me that we learn how to run a lab from our own advisors and statistically, at least, tend model our labs on theirs. (1/2)

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.
