🎩🤖 Behold the #carnival of #FablePool, where people throw pocket change at #AI like it's a wishing well, expecting miracles. Watch as computer code parades around in hopes of receiving enough votes to become a real product, while Claude Shannon's ghost raises a digital eyebrow. Meanwhile, the projects themselves are merely elaborate case studies in crowd-sourced futility. 🚀✨

Paul Litvak wrote a thoughtful piece on the limitations of the scientific journal article and the advantages of a proposed new genre or structure.
https://www.paullitvak.com/p/the-future-of-academic-journalsThe new structure he describes is similar to one I proposed in 2012: one that would disaggregate claims and connect each one to the current evidence. See my 2012 essay, "The idea of an open-access evidence rack."
http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:32988193One difference is that his would use #AI. Mine would use #crowdsourcing. But his could also use crowdsourcing and mine could also use AI.
Another is that his seems meant to stand alone. Mine is meant to be a dynamic collection of "perpetually updated, public footnotes" that might stand alone or might be cited, as footnotes, by articles, books, and any other new genres that might come along.
