In nyc for a few days for an AI in Science event. Any local friends around?

We built Valency Bond partly because of this. arXiv just announced a one-year ban for authors who submit papers with hallucinated citations.  Fabricated references means you didn’t read what you put your name on. Our post on why this matters: blog.valency.io/posts/hallucinations-academic-threat/

Fun to be at the launch of lightconeresearch.org very much aligned with what we’re building at @valency.io

Some news to mark the occasion: after a decade leading JOSS, founding EiC @arfon.bsky.social is stepping down. We're now searching for the next EiC to lead JOSS into its next chapter. The call: blog.joss.theoj.org/2026/05/call... #openscience #opensource

🎉 JOSS turns 10 today! Ten years, 3,500+ papers, 11,000+ authors, 4000+ reviewers, and a community that built something remarkable together. Thank you to everyone who's reviewed, edited, authored, or cheered us on along the way 💚 joss.theoj.org #openscience #opensource

OK this piece by @reckless.bsky.social about why AI is unpopular among most people (anyone who's not inflicted with "software brain") is just solid gold from start to finish

Finally got around to watching Forevergreen. I asked my wife why my daughter was crying and she said, "Watch this." Watch it when you have 13 minutes. If you cry you're a big baby! Not tough like me, who did not cry.

@gnat.bsky.social oh damn. I have to go find a cd player now! Super stoked!!

Good day to rewatch The Royal Tenenbaums

Goodbye 2025

Definitely my kid all right. Didn’t even have to read the name.

My weekend 👇

The last day for public comment on this topic is Monday, Sept 15. It’s time to unleash science. 3/3 Gift link to op-ed: www.wsj.com/opinion/acad... NIH Request for Information: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

For a small monthly fee, you should be able to go into your local Mexican restaurant and exchange an unripe avocado for a perfectly ripe one.

This is so very much my jam. Can’t wait to go this fall. designmuseum.org/exhibitions/...

Can’t ever unsee poorly designed conference badges thanks to @therealfitz.com badge.reviews

We start losing daylight in 4 days.

Very excited to see this competition go live! Check out this Kaggle to build AI models that can identify data citations in research papers and classify whether the data is newly generated or reused from existing sources bsky.app/profile/dani...

We did something radical that shouldn’t feel radical: we stopped funding science built for journals so that we can reimagine scientific publishing. First @arcadiascience.com. Now at @asterainstitute.bsky.social.

@fim.bsky.social need something from the store?

I'm again wading through the moat of low status—a reminder to reread this excellent essay by Sasha Chapin. sashachapin.substack.com/p/the-moat-o...

Died tragically rescuing his family from the wreckage of a destroyed sinking battleship. Goodbye, Royal. #RIP

Very appropriate for current times.

Harrison Ford is such a gem. A true treasure and mensch of an actor. I’m thankful to the makers of “Shrinking” for giving us this wonderfully human version of everybody’s favorite action hero. This is the one will stay with me, especially after this season.

Anyone else get a Tsunami warning alert just now in the bay?
