How is that different from traditional research publication? It's faster?

Top line difference is speed. The impact of speed is deeper and gets felt over time.

Traditional research publications are no angels. They gatekeep research, and also allow financial incentives to drive them to publish junk with their stamp on it.

But a flood of papers doesn’t actually mean more knowledge. In bypassing this route entirely, AI has swiftly lost the ability to engage with itself as a field. And the cost of that is only beginning to be felt.

No traditional research is mostly done by post-docs and have a phd level of education rather than a tech bro that passed leetcode. That seems like a good bar to have; not too mention the whole peer review thing, hard to really understand anything if you purposely withhold it and tell people to kick rocks.

		Two separate axes here: whether the research is in a blog, and whether it’s peer reviewed. On the first, I mostly don’t care. On the second, that’s mostly unavoidable if they want to keep their IP.

		Plenty of research is performed by non PhDs. The main difference is reproducibility and peer review process.

		Science is a method of inquiry, not an institution or group of people with titles.
