The best piece I've read lately on AI in science is Minas Karamanis's "The machines are fine. I'm worried about us." I disagree w/ his take on evaluation, but the rest is thoughtful, trenchant, and has several fine turns of phrase and useful litmus tests.

The machines are fine. I'm worried about us.

On AI agents, grunt work, and the part of science that isn't replaceable.

@shriramk That's a very thoughtful piece. I particularly like the analogy that you can read the problem solutions in the back of the textbook, but if you don't actually try to do the work yourself, you won't learn anything.
