Ethan Mollick demonstrated AI synthesis of evolving literature strands.
What literatures have developed since the paper that are in dialog or tension with its themes or findings?
(This is something that is very hard for academics, ensconced in a field, to do on their own)
The original paper, by the way: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/3331068_Establishing_Moore's_Law
Users express optimism about open-source AI agents dynamically updating academic literature as computation graphs, calling the repo-based approach extremely helpful for maintaining active papers and materials.

@KurtisHingl @ExpectedParrot :) I'm actually serious though - I think a startup committed to open source approaches has the best chance of actually building the rails for this
@johnjhorton How do we build the infrastructure for this? “Papers” as repos, extensions as PRs, etc? How do we get university evaluators on board, or do we just have the journals coexist as credential at a time stamp?
@KurtisHingl @johnjhorton I think it would be extremely helpful to have working papers and all associated materials as a repos that can be actively forked and/or externally commented/reviewed through issues/crs. Haven't thought through the consequences yet though.
@johnjhorton @tylercowen Source, medium, sink :)
@johnjhorton I suggested to researchers a system like that 15years ago and they didn't like it I was quite surprised. Mainly inspired by lkml, git and Web of trust.
