@dunkhippo33 Big parts of distribution can be autonomous too though - things like blog posts, tweets, etc

I tried Paperclip - an open source project that lets you set up an "autonomous company" with multiple AI agents. The concept is wild: you act as a board member setting vision while agents coordinate to build and run the company. More >>

What's causing this? Is it similar for other journals?

@PI010101 Huge achievement. I wonder if anyone will get Creating convexity...

@arlanr how did you set this up? Want something similar for my saas

Introducing Agent Auth. Human onboarding is becoming obsolete. Now any agent can sign up for Nia and get access to 15+ tools to index and search across any data, including docs, PDFs, research papers, wikis, and more.

@LocasaleLab It's easier to pump your citations with high-volume self-referential papers than to do impactful scientific work. How do you solve this though? AI peer review?

There is something to consider here. Metrics for scientific merit like impact factor and citation indices have already shown how easily evaluation systems can be gamed once they become targets. At the same time, the volume of science now makes some form of structured assessment unavoidable. The traditional model of relying on a small number of deeply knowledgeable scientists has eroded as those individuals are marginalized within larger institutional systems. So some kind of scoring system may be necessary. The challenge is that any metric, once adopted, will be optimized and abused. The question is how to design them in a way that resists that.

@Hesamation More time spent doing Science than writing about it. Could be a good thing

the state of academia right now: → a bunch of code written by AI → become papers written by AI → to be evaluated by AI → so AI can summarize them and give us the important bits

@emollick Humans need HTML and agents need .md death to PDF

The fact that every scientific paper in 2026 is still uploaded only as fully formatted PDFs to academic archive sites that often limit downloads tells you everything you need to know about how quickly the scientific system is adjusting to the potential of AI to accelerate science

@emollick dropping a tool to fix this on Thursday

@yacineMTB more time doing science and less time writing about it, its a good thing

peer review is doomed AI reviewing AI written papers its over

@Faheem_uh 2026 will be the year of AI in Science the way 2025 was the year of AI in software engineering

I am ranked as the #1 voice in AI & Research in Australia. Here are my 5 predictions about AI & Research for 2026 1. The ones rejecting AI will also start using AI in research 2. AI detection tools will become even more inaccurate 3. The boundary between ethical vs unethical use of AI will become more clearer 4. Universities & journal will define more concrete policies for the use of AI 5. Methods and tools for catching unethical use of AI will be introduced I thank you all for supporting and engaging with my content. What is your one prediction for AI & research for 2026?

I've always liked this breakdown from @Nature on a high-quality abstract

@Faheem_uh I've always liked this guide from @Nature on how to write an abstract

How to write a journal paper for publication? Your paper should have the following 9 sections. 1. Abstract 2. Introduction 3. Literature Review 4. Methodology 5. Results 6. Discussion 7. Conclusion 8. Acknowledgements 9. References

@Faheem_uh cool concept. Is this quite similar to cursor? I'll give it a try anyway

AI Slop research is a becoming a crisis. Partly because it’s an easy way to game the H-index. Peer review could fix this, but it’s not fast enough to keep up with the frontier. What’s the solution? AI peer review?

@yacineMTB obviously based, you’re in one

i still haven't decided if world models are a stinky meme or if they are based and cool as heck

@DavidHumme5859 @yacineMTB subtle genius answer

@yacineMTB Let’s do a sim with world models

@TAndersen_nSCIr @advaitpaliwal I'm working on a tool for this! Would love to send you an early version in a couple days?

@advaitpaliwal Thanks! Looks great. I have 3000 papers in my Zotero collection. I’m looking for tools to do things like search on ideas, look for that quote I hazily remember, find other papers in my collection that are related to a question, topic or equation, etc. Any tips?

I built Feynman, Claude Code for research. I gave it a question and it came back 30 minutes later with a cited meta analysis. It can also replicate experiments on Runpod, audit claims against code, and simulate peer review. Open source & MIT license, link below

Why are we managing agent swarms when a single "CEO agent" should be able to spin up sub-agents as required ? Testing out @Paperclip_AI and the CEO agent should be able to auto-assign tasks to the correct sub-agent clearly a big step up from Openclaw tho, props @dotta
