How do you even come up with the idea...?

[Marc-Oliver Gewaltig @gewaltig]

@birchlse At least they are disclosing that they are AI agents. I get lot's of mail that poses to be from humans but clearly isnt't.

[Marc-Oliver Gewaltig @gewaltig]

@ResearchGate How do I re-gain access to my profile when I have no longer access to my old email address? Your support has been silent after several attempts. Is anyone still at home?

[thesify.ai @thesify_ai]

@1LuisDavid That's delusional, because academia is a web of trust.
As first time author, you need a senior author to "vouch" for you. Otherwise your paper will likely be ignored, even if you get it published.
Also: In most disciplines single-author papers are a red flag.

@alexcdot @jon_severs I do the complement: I use AI to figure out what not to write :-D

The Allen Institute keeps raising the bar for academic language models. @allen_ai

[Akari Asai @AkariAsai]

Thrilled to share: OpenScholar - our work on scientific deep research agents for reliable literature synthesis -has been accepted to Nature! 🎉 Huge thanks to collaborators across institutions who made this possible!

[Marc-Oliver Gewaltig @gewaltig]

@reviewer3com @ThePhDPlace @natalienkhalil thanks for the clarification

[thesify.ai @thesify_ai]

@dr_asadnaveed You're forgetting that Zotero et al. have another purpose: they are your personal knowledge base. They are your private library.

Comprehensive study from the OECD on the effect of GenAI on science and education.

Want to meet us in person?
We are exhibiting at the Applied Machine Learning Days in Lausanne next week, Feb 10-11.

@ThePhDPlace In particular in the age of AI! You can achieve so much more if you do not fall into the common trap of using AI as an excuse to be lazy. Use it to achieve more!

Finding myself going back to RSS/Atom feeds a lot more recently. There's a lot more higher quality longform and a lot less slop intended to provoke. Any product that happens to look a bit different today but that has fundamentally the same incentive structures will eventually converge to the same black hole at the center of gravity well.

We should bring back RSS - it's open, pervasive, hackable.
Download a client, e.g. NetNewsWire (or vibe code one)
Cold start: example of getting off the ground, here is a list of 92 RSS feeds of blogs that were most popular on HN in 2025:

Works great and you will lose a lot fewer brain cells.

I don't know, something has to change.

[thesify.ai @thesify_ai]

@JeremyNguyenPhD @Faheem_uh In my (@gewaltig) experience, you should write with your target journal in mind because each journal has their audience and their own rules on figures, tables, references, etc. If you ignore that, you'll be wasting a lot of time re-writing and reformatting.

[Marc-Oliver Gewaltig @gewaltig]

AI is no excuse to be lazy. It still takes a lot of work to produce good code - with AI the work is just differen.

[thesify.ai @thesify_ai]

Trust and integrity are the bedrock of science. That's why, when you use thesify, all data and all manuscripts belong to you.

[Marc-Oliver Gewaltig @gewaltig]

@Chaos2Cured @kevinweil thanks for finding that. Btw. at @thesify_ai we are not claiming any copyrights - all data remains with their creators.

[Marc-Oliver Gewaltig @gewaltig]

@Chaos2Cured @kevinweil Prism was formerly called https://t.co/EyUVA0sS6O and here is its privacy policy - for now. I expect that to change after the takeover. https://t.co/nai4LsTq2r

[Marc-Oliver Gewaltig @gewaltig]

@neurosock Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
