¿Recuerda las películas de la trilogía del Planeta de los Simios (La guerra)? 🤔 Al parecer, no estaban tan alejadas de la realidad. Una investigación señaló que la mayor comunidad de chimpancés salvajes lleva ocho años inmersa en una “guerra civil”. 👇🏻

Por décadas, lo cuantitativo tuvo más prestigio que lo cualitativo en las ciencias sociales.
La drástica reducción en los costos de entrada del trabajo cuantitativo que AI ha traído ya está cambiando eso.
Sobre eso hablo en esta columna:

In the past, Republicans had more trust in scientists than Democrats. This is no longer the case.
In POQ, Schulam et al. identify demographic changes in political parties as a source of polarized trust in the scientific community.

[COLUMNA @__elmercurio] “Está temblando para los PhD”
Nuestro investigador internacional @surzua_chile analiza los cambios en el mercado laboral para profesionales con doctorado, advirtiendo una fuerte caída en la demanda por nuevos PhD y un escenario de mayor incertidumbre para quienes evalúan seguir esta vía académica.
Además, aborda las posibles causas de este fenómeno y llama a tomar decisiones informadas al momento de postular a programas de #doctorado.
🚨BREAKING: Google just dropped another hit!
It's called PaperBanana and it generates publication-ready academic illustrations from just your methodology text.
No Figma. No manual design. No illustration skills needed.
Here's how it works:
A team of AI agents runs behind the scenes
→ One finds good diagram examples
→ One plans the structure
→ One styles the layout
→ One generates the image
→ One critiques and improves it
Here's the wildest part:
Random reference examples work nearly as well as perfectly matched ones. What matters is showing the model what good diagrams look like, not finding the topically perfect reference.
In blind evaluations, humans preferred PaperBanana outputs 75% of the time.
This is the recursion we've been waiting for AI systems that can fully document themselves visually.
Waitlist’s open, Link in the first comment.
El Gran Caribe ha sido escenario de cambios económicos de calado global. Este dossier, que tengo el placer de editar con R Fernández del @depfeunam, busca condensar una nueva agenda sobre un periodo neurálgico. Gracias a @historiacaribe y a @cliocaribe por abrirnos sus páginas!
