🌏 Hello world from Cosmik! We're building a collective sensemaking layer for research: youtube.com/watch?v=mbg_6S…

AI code assistants *would not exist* were it not for large scale living ecosystems were people shared open code (github) and knowledge (stack overflow). What is the “Github for research” that will power AI research assistants? 🧵 1/

New Cosmik Network blog post! Herbert Simon told us that information consumes attention. For 50 years, we've accepted that as a one-way street: attention as a scarce resource. This is the linear attention economy: we feel it as acute info overload, too many browser tabs open 🧵

“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” What is the role of human researchers in the age of AI? Great synthesis here, with many thought-provoking ideas that deserve broader discussion. Thoughts🧵 >

Human data makes AI better, but does AI make humans better? Unfortunately this is far from obvious (eg cognitive atrophy due to outsourcing) Hybrid intelligence is a useful concept: co-evolving AI-augmented collective intelligence where humans and AI improve each other over time

Imagine trying to land a plane in the fog without a heads-up display. Pilots used to do it but “flying blind” meant frequent disasters. Today, we're browsing the web in that same fog. >

1/ 📢 Cosmik Network has been awarded $1M in grant funding by Open Philanthropy and Astera Institute! These generous grants will support our development of Semble - a social "micro-knowledge" network for researchers. Think Are.na + Goodreads for research!

Useful area for experimentation. In particular, I am interested in how platforms like these can give scientists ways of listing “ideas in their desk drawer” (experiments worth running that don’t have time to pursue, but think someone should).

Huge congratulations for an amazing project!

This looks interesting
