Day two of the Metascience conference in London proved very insightful! If I had any lingering worries yesterday about us shying away from inconvenient truths, today completely dispelled them.

AI for science could be more impactful than chatbots. It is already helping win Nobel prizes and accelerating drug development and materials discovery.
Today we published an essay about it: why it matters, how it’s happening and its implications. Here is a summary from an econ / social sci lens.

Like many others, I initially disliked YouTube’s removal of dislike counts, seeing it as masking critically relevant info. I still hope for a better solution to signal low-quality content. But this fascinating research shows the other side: such signals were abused, punishing women & minorities.
