I've found it instructive watching is happening in the physical sciences with LLM-accelerated research. This passage from "The Last Astronomers" in Science resonated with me www.science.org/content/arti... (here is the arXiv article referenced: arxiv.org/abs/2602.10181)

Why do we do astrophysics? arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis
  • David W. Hogg says LLMs are beginning to design, execute, write up and referee scientific projects on the data-science side of astrophysics.
  • His proposed 'points of agreement' emphasise novelty, people-centrism, trust, and the lack of clinical value in astrophysics.
  • He argues strongly against both 'let-them-cook' and 'ban-and-punish' policies, warning good moderate rules will be hard to develop.

I’m surprised to see how much I agree with in Zuckerberg’s latest essay. Pretty reasonable over all. Now, it remains to be seen to what extent these principles will be put into practice. Meta’s past record is somewhat mixed. https://t.co/YyDUDyDRut

A few years ago, Georgios Yannakakis and I wrote an article about what to do as an AI researcher when a giant AI company steamrolls your research field. I just looked at it again and, well, it’s still relevant. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/104...

Or maybe even read the paper: https://t.co/mwZdajgl2E This work was done by @MatthewSiper with enthusiastic support from @Amidos2006 and me.

Recent commentary

Most effective AI regulation legislation would have terrible side effects, leading to loss of privacy, concentration of power, and restrictions on free research. But there is an alternative: regulate only closed-source (or closed-weight) AI. Keep open-source and open-weight AI unregulated.

Opus 4.5, released back in late November 2025, is widely seen as a step change in agentic capabilities, particularly for coding. Today, at least 11 companies have released models that are equally good or better.

Last but not least of our IEEE Conference on Games papers this year: PuzzleJax, presented by @smearle.bsky.social with Yuchen Li, @amidos2006.bsky.social Graham Todd, Muhammad Nasir, Andrzej Banburski-Fahey and myself. Spoiler: LLMs are NOT GOOD at PuzzleScript games. Search is good, and RL decent.

Agentic AI could massively speed up productivity by doing all the mandatory compliance and harassment trainings for us

How can you configure a spam filter so that obviously LLM-written emails go straight to spam? Is there a plugin? I’d pay for this.
