If you work in structural biology, neurodegenerative diseases math, or climate science and use – or avoid! – LLMs in your research, you should talk to the team at RenPhil doing a landscape analysis: aixscience.renphil.org/engagement

Recent commentary
AIME-Con 2026 starts today. This year's theme is "Measurement Science in AI-Integrated Assessment and Pedagogy". Here's a one-shot Claude Opus 5.5 hype video to get in the mood (it is slop, but amusing).
Lot of interesting examples at #AIMECon2026 of how teachers are incorporating AI literacy into their lessons. Example from an ETS pilot study: students are encouraged to test the model's boundaries and to compare their output to their neighbors.
Students don’t read writing feedback, and they don’t read AI writing feedback either! Study with GPT-5.1, undergrad psych class. ~10% revise in response to feedback. #AIMECon2026
