Rebuilding the Architecture of Science

Science built the modern world. It’s time to rebuild the world of science.

Will AI ruin the social sciences — or revolutionize them?

The technology can whip up spurious findings and pollute survey responses, but it could also make research more rigorous.

We can create the future of science right now

Can AI Replace Social Science Researchers?

No. No it can't. Come on, now.

Could AI slow science?

Confronting the production-progress paradox

Science Must Decentralize

Knowledge production doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Every great scientific breakthrough is built on prior work, and an ongoing exchange with peers in the field. That’s why we need to address the threat

💥 Today we’re introducing Prism—a free, AI-native workspace for scientists to write and collaborate on research, powered by GPT-5.2.Accelerating science requires progress on two fronts:1. Frontier AI models that use scientific tools and can tackle the hardest problems2.… pic.twitter.com/cnLysHixuQ— Kevin Weil 🇺🇸 (@kevinweil) January 27, 2026

I have quite a lot of thoughts on this..that won't fit in a tweet. Bottomline is that there are issues scientists in the US would love to improve - faster review, less grant writing, more stability and freedom to do risky science. The folks celebrating this doc are mostly../1 https://t.co/xlPAH9XYNC— Jason Shepherd (@JasonSynaptic) July 23, 2026

There are some exceptionally good ideas here for reforming and accelerating science.Some of my favorite proposals:Apply the scientific method to science funding (track applications, reviewers, funding decisions, and outcomes, then experimentally test which grantmaking methods… https://t.co/Q0JmqTBPYm— Seth Bannon (@sethbannon) July 22, 2026

The Bazaar of Scientific Knowledge | shishyko!

What if we didn't collapse all the knowledge from the scientific process into one paper?

Science has been in a “replication crisis” for a decade. Have we learned anything?

Bad papers are still published. But some other things might be getting better.

Why scaling AI won’t automatically lead to paradigm shifts.
