Formemos más metacientíficos (aquellos que utilizan el método científico para mejorar la ciencia) en lugar de científicos (aquellos que utilizan el método científico para incrementar el conocimiento). Sobre todo si hay estructuras, entidades e incentivos que no buscan incrementar el conocimiento.
Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community.

Are agency and cognition fundamentally not computational?
Organisms solve problems fundamentally differently than algorithms. They rely on "relevance realization"—an innate, non-computational process that transforms ambiguous challenges into actionable ones.

In a world where machines churn out thoughts faster than minds can comprehend, withholding one’s voice is defiance. It is a refusal to be swept into the cacophony, a stand against the commodification of words. Rebellion is not shouting louder than the crowd—it is choosing not to speak at all.

With the new reasoning models, there is increasing value in coming up with good questions. That reminded me of an old short scifi story about a future where coming up with new PhD ideas in a world of AI was hard

For millennia, human progress relied on the exchange between questions and answers. Asking reflects curiosity, while answering demands expertise and ingenuity. Historically, the benefit has gone to those providing answers, as knowledge has always been a valuable and scarce resource.

@bsky.app What about implementing substring search to find our buddies here?
I tried to find a friend and his username was namelastname and I searched name and last name without results.
A suffix trie will do it ;-)
