Adrian Lenardic<p>Nature has become the most hyporcritical for-profit publisher on the planet. They have never been about the idea that writting is thinking. They have long promoted that writting is to get them more papers more efficiently so they turn more profit.

Emilia Jarochowska 🇺🇦🌱<p>Are you in <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/EarthScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EarthScience</span></a> and interested in improving <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/AcademicPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicPublishing</span></a> options in your field? I am preparing a proposal for a PCI Eart Sciences, which would be part of <a href="https://peercommunityin.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">peercommunityin.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> family of journals. The digital infrastructure and brand are there, i have benefited as an author and as an editor from PCI Paleo and I can attest to the high quality and robustness of this platform and process. Being involved doesn’t actually require committing a lot of your time, as it takes years to establish a new journal. At this point it is more about launching it and making it visible, so I am primarily looking for mid-to senior-career collaborators who can help steer publications towards this venue.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>Read books. Read academic articles written by human beings. Read long-length blog posts written by people of flesh and blood. Ultimately. when it comes to scientific research there can be no shortcuts to the real hard work of really absorbing the meaning behind the text. </p><p>"Even if individual scientists benefit from adopting AI, it doesn’t mean science as a whole will benefit. When thinking about the macro effects, we are dealing with a complex system with emergent properties. That system behaves in surprising ways because it is not a market. It is better than markets at some things, like rewarding truth, but worse at others, such as reacting to technological shocks. So far, on balance, AI has been an unhealthy shock to science, stretching many of its processes to the breaking point.</p><p>Any serious attempt to forecast the impact of AI on science must confront the production-progress paradox. The rate of publication of scientific papers has been growing exponentially, increasing 500 fold between 1900 and 2015. But actual progress, by any available measure, has been constant or even slowing. So we must ask how AI is impacting, and will impact, the factors that have led to this disconnect.</p><p>Our analysis in this essay suggests that AI is likely to worsen the gap. This may not be true in all scientific fields, and it is certainly not a foregone conclusion. By carefully and urgently taking actions such as those we suggest below, it may be possible to reverse course. Unfortunately, AI companies, science funders, and policy makers all seem oblivious to what the actual bottlenecks to scientific progress are. They are simply trying to accelerate production, which is like adding lanes to a highway when the slowdown is actually caused by a toll booth. It’s sure to make things worse."</p><p><a href="https://www.aisnakeoil.com/p/could-ai-slow-science" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aisnakeoil.com/p/could-ai-slow</span><span class="invisible">-science</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AcademicPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicPublishing</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SlowScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SlowScience</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CriticalThinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalThinking</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Productivity</span></a></p>
