A Case for Becoming a “Metascience Communicator”
In this piece, I introduce the idea of metascience communication, a form of science communication that focuses on metascience, and why I…

✏️ I wrote a small piece explaining why I decided to call myself a "metascience communicator." I hope it makes sense to somebody.

I was so grateful to be able to attend #NeurIPS2025 in San Diego. I wrote a retrospective from a metascientific perspective.

TL;DR: NeurIPS is a frontier of huge shift in science by AI. Despite that, for now, NeurIPS remained very human.

Starting next Monday, I will attend #NeurIPS in San Diego. I am neither a presenter nor a researcher, and I am not entirely sure whether someone in my position is welcome to participate. As it is likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I would like to learn as much as I can.

Science is humanity's collective world model. It enables us to collectively predict the world upon our collective actions. LLMs are tools that enable individual world models to query the collective world model for individual use with unprecedented efficiency.

半年前のnote記事では以下のように書いた。 2022年末にChatGPTの登場で幕を開けた「生成AIブーム」。津々浦々にその「すごさ」が知れ渡ったことで投資先行で発展してきた基盤モデルを軸とした技術だが、2025年に入って、いよいよ「どのような経済的なインパクトを出せるのか」に焦点が当たってきた。 まだその答えが出ているとは全くいえないが、人々の関心はますます「AIによって自分の職場がど...

One challenge in discussing AI’s impact on science is simply how broad the topic is. “AI” is vast, and so is “science.” Hoping to contribute to a meaningful discussion, I’ve sketched a preliminary taxonomy for the discourse on AI in science.
