how much content is there in the publisher ecosystem

An increasing number publishers are licensing content for AI training. What’s the potential size of the market?

Academia has a new preprints problem.

Thousands of researchers are essentially playing slot machines with large language models, pulling the lever over and over hoping to hit the jackpot of novel theoretical physics insights

Are LLMs removing Retracted papers from their training data

Some say yes. I dont believe them

Have we already hit the peer review breaking point?

What does scientific publishing look like if every paper is AI-generated or at least AI co-authored?

Researchers do not know they can publish null results in a journal and believe the biggest benefit is help with hypotheses

Feeding the NHS into LLMs is not the answer.

The easiest way to generate new data for the AI models with a view to advance science and technology is to fund more basic research

Yeah - I would suggest not even including that stuff

You can also look at papers with UT Austin authors and see which of them link to datasets

One concern I have about preprints

On Figshare, we accept anything that is "academic"

We get a lot of papers that are submitted with titles like "The unifying theory of thermodynamics and Jesus"

Can we create an LLM that judges how "out there" papers may be

Peer review is broken to the point I thought we needed paid peer review to fix it

AI peer review may be the answer
