Isn’t whiskey technically a tea since its flavor is infused from the wood barrels it’s aged in?

Indeed, every individual journey is a story with ups and downs. It takes a lot of strength to bring to public this though. Kudos!

This is very true. I personally have faced this.

This is VERY concerning for me. Of course it has been like this for a long time but I was not too aware of this. We need real massive engagement to solve this issue once and for all. But not sure how that can be achieved.

Frictionless Reproducibility.

Serious take: how comes there is such a dominant silence from the humanities on what to expect from / how to shape a society with AIs everywhere.

Very true. There isn't enough time to carefully validate anything, and too many things have been happening all at once. It's a weird cycle.

Again very true.

Beautiful research from Apple More thoughts stop helping once tasks cross critical depth. Thinking tokens rise, then crash, revealing compute inefficiency. So Standard LLMs beat LRMs on easy puzzles, unexpectedly. Researchers stress-test them on puzzles whose difficulty can

The NeurIPS paper checklist corroborates the bureaucratic theory of statistics. argmin.net/p/standard-err…

This needs to be read. It is important to discuss the real value (if at all) of a bunch of technical jargon that unfortunately subjects that are derivatives of mathematics fall prey to.

A simple benchmark. Most people can understand it. No PhD-level intelligence needed.

🚨 Just published! All frontier AI models have failed “Radiology’s Last Exam” - the toughest benchmark in radiology launched today! ✅ Board-certified radiologists scored 83%, trainees 45%, but the best performing AI from frontier labs, GPT-5, managed only 30%. ❌ These results

This is very true. A large segment of AI/ML research talks I have heard is storytelling and a bunch of demos. And people are also seemingly quite happy with this kind of research / presentation!

Kevin Weil 🇺🇸 Hi, as the owner/maintainer of erdosproblems.com, this is a dramatic misrepresentation. GPT-5 found references, which solved these problems, that I personally was unaware of. The 'open' status only means I personally am unaware of a paper which solves it.

Very true. Proxies for merit have completely replaced the actual act of making scientific progress. I’ve heard that exact conversation countless times - even from many considered among the world’s top scientists. We have to work much harder to better define what scientific

The current paper submission and review process seems unlikely to survive LLMs. One alternative would be to build a new process around talks: "submission" is making and giving a 30 minute live talk, and "review" is three experts watching, evaluating, and asking questions.

Rattling off "Cell" "Nature" and "Science" when you talk about your work doesn't improve its quality, nor does it instill confidence in the results. Instead showcase exciting work in a transparent manner, share data and code, and provide details of the math / stats.

Repeat after me. FUCK citation counts. Just do meaningful work that you enjoy, do a great job making it accessible and present it honestly so folks can use it and build on it optimally. That's it.

I think the term ‘Virtual cell’ will have the same trajectory as ‘AGI’ or ‘Foundation models’ Initial opposition by rigorous scientists Bay Area + Demis are the only users --> mainstream term soon in few years (something about Overton windows)
