As much as I dislike all the baggage that comes with Elon owning Twitter, it is the only place I know with a critical mass of AI talent sharing papers and thoughts. Even in read-only mode, it's incredibly useful as a way to stay up to date with interesting AI papers and discussions. Does a good alternative to this exist?
So glad the AK account exists. As a researcher, I've always wanted some guy with an econ degree and a year of ML eng to recommend me papers after glancing at them for maybe 30 seconds. I am genuinely baffled that researchers in the field think there is any value in the service AK provides. I'd wager I could create an equally effective bot with the following process: 1) Create a historical dataset of publications and…
A friend of mine created a bot to do basically this, except it also looks at the current page rank associated with researchers recommending that paper. I've seen a lot of good looking papers (decent school/group/conference submission/etc.) that don't end up contributing to the field. Top researchers and Professors tend to have a better intuition of importance by reading the abstract and a quick skim.

It's why big tech killed rss, they want to own our peer to peer channels.

Yeah, various AI Discords, like the Nous Research server.

In certain topics, Discords and Github repos. ...Yes, basically siloed off and unsearchable.
Discord is where our conversations go to die, yes; but (non-private) Github repos are clonable and very searchable - so I'm not sure why you wrote that.

The growing pace of new papers, especially in CS, is a hard problem to solve. We created this tool to help: https://trendingpapers.com/ The website was launched in October. It is already used by researchers in most of the leading universities and tech companies and is growing fast. Let me know what you think.. cheers!
"Computer Science > Digital Libraries" how does this even merit inclusion on arxiv? Does it even count as science? We're talking meta-computer-science. Meanwhile, It's hard enough for me to get the endorsement to publish my actual math paper on there, which has afik new results. The computer science section of arxiv feels like a giant citation ring of mediocre, math-light papers.
Computer science is not mathematics. There's plenty of empirical work to be done in CS, including HCI.

Searchable, yes - but you must be signed in.

Back in the day, Google Reader was great for this. It's still hard to fathom that nothing ever replaced it.
