AI research papers are getting better, and it’s a big problem for scientists
What a difference a year makes. Last summer, the AFT announced a $23 million deal with Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic to launch a National Academy of A.I. Instruction for teachers. Now the teachers' union is calling for no A.I. chatbots in elementary schools. www.nytimes.com/…

"As long as we have this hyper-competitive, hyper-unequal rat race where people’s productivity and their worth as scientists is being measured by how many publications they put out and how many times they get cited, it’s just going to incentivize this behavior.” 💯 archive.is/2…
