The LLM-induced jump in preprints is most dramatic in computer science, but math is pretty clearly spiking as well, especially since the beginning of this year. info.arxiv.org/about/report...

ArXiv math submissions began spiking at the beginning of 2026

Saw this Wendell Berry quote today: "The standard of the exploiter is efficiency; the standard of the nurturer is care." I can't wait to squawk "EFFICIENCY IS THE STANDARD OF THE EXPLOITER" in meetings any time someone uses the word

What if I told you scientists developed a urinal design that cuts down on nearly all splash back. And their names are "Randy" and "Pan". And they work at the University of Waterloo. And they published their findings in the journal PNAS Nexus. You'd never believe me, right?

I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.

Assuming it doesn't kill us all, could AI ever display the kind of scientific creativity we find in, say, Einstein's theory of general relativity? I explore that question in this feature for Nature. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Einstein test: what happens when AI tries to rediscover relativity?

Scientists are probing whether language models trained on historical data can reproduce creative breakthroughs.

You can now update bioRxiv/medRxiv preprints with funding information after the fact. Authors often omit/don't have all funding info when submitting, but funders understandably want it there. This solves the problem without requiring you to submit a whole new paper. openrxiv.org/updating-fun...
