Science isn’t suffering from a lack of papers. It’s suffering from a lack of good papers. Making it easier to just pump out paper-mill publications is about the last thing science needs right now.

My hope is that the flood of AI articles pushes the academic publication system to its highly-anticipated breaking point. The most absurd part is that everyone in academia knows that publish or perish is tremendously damaging to real research. Yet we’re all hostage of this system that we created in the name of “merit” and “efficiency”. We need a different system to identify and reward talented hard-working people. Ba…

It will get much worse before it gets better.

Why would you people ever use this companies products? They're actually evil and are trying to scam you and or make you unemployable./worthless. You people really gotta wake up.

You (and people like you) refusing to use it won't make it go away. Now what? Acknowledge that it exists and figure out what it means for the world?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Anecdotally, as someone with a lot of moderately computational sciencey tasks at work (part of my job is as a data analyst for a geology firm that has some interesting sensor data), combining Claude Code and standard python data libraries has been extremely powerful and sped up my workflows immensely. If I just need a quick analysis or visualization, Claude can write something for me in minutes that would take me an…

There’s a dead sibling comment but I’d also recommend looking at marimo, I just used it to do some analysis for my brother in law and has Claude write the whole thing. It tracks variables used across cells to see what needs re-running. It’s also got an in built AI helper thing where you can put an api key but I’ve not tried that yet.

Enthusiastic second. I’ve been daily driving Marimo with Claude for several months, works great, also with custom access points.

I watched the announcement and gave it a spin as I'm a heavy user of cowork/code. So far I'm super impressed. I used it to analyze my whole genome sequencing data I have as my son has a rare genetic condition. I used it to answer a question I'd asked a few bioinformaticians to help me with but never got a satisfactory answer, it solved it in about a minute - whether his n-of-1 de novo, heterozygous single nucleotide…

Any other researchers paranoid of using LLMs for fear of them using your data and front running your publications/work? Or incorporating it in training data and then spitting it out to a competing lab?

Pay for enterprise or use one of the guaranteed no data retention models (e.g. Bedrock)

I think with recent changes they still retain data on Enterprise, no? Or have I misread this?
