I have observed the same in different domains, but for me it seems like a natural consequence of academics being measured on number of publications because it de-incentivizes long-form research discussions through papers and incentivizes more disparate papers that can get published easily.

Which tool did you use for this?

Rather than restricting data to only the richest and most powerful (as reddit, facebook, and twitter do), bsky makes it available to everyone.

Personally, I think that's a good thing.

But maybe @emollick.bsky.social you can curate a custom AI feed? I think that would be helpful to a lot of people.

I haven't found a strong set of AI accounts to follow, but my impression is also that there is heavy anti-AI sentiment here. I've tried searching for AI in different ways and it mostly just results in accounts that dismiss or make fun of AI.
