1. How common is LLM use in scientific publishing, and how does it vary across field, publisher, journal prestige, author demographics etc.? @kylesiler.bsky.social has new paper in PNAS that addresses this question on a massive scale: 7.3 million papers from Elsevier, PLOS, MDPI, and Frontiers.
How does an animal choose between exploring for a better food source and taking advantage of a known one? Our recent work in Current Biology demonstrates how recent feeding and metabolic state dynamically influence fly local search. bit.ly/3PfrIv3 #Science #Neurosky #Foraging #Drosophila
Our social contract databases are the machine readable versions of our intuitions.
So the issue may not be structure itself but control.
The moment experiences, identities, and relationships become legible, new questions emerge
Who defines the schema?
Who gets to edit or delete?
Who has power?
We say people don’t want to be turned into databases.

Humans have always sought structure to navigate complexity. Stories, identities, social roles and such are all ways of making life legible. They are, in a sense, human-readable “schemas.”
