Imagine trying to land a plane in the fog without a heads-up display. Pilots used to do it but “flying blind” meant frequent disasters. Today, we're browsing the web in that same fog. >

How to Read an "AI" Press Release — Sonja Drimmer Every so often someone like Mark Zuckerberg or Sam Altman will dribble out some unadorned text, announcing with stentorian certitude the advent of a new world that their latest product will avail.…

AI can help us "liberate" data trapped non-interoperable formats (like screenshots). Beyond that though, we also need better information navigation interfaces. Finally, protocols for reliable social annotations should be a core feature of browsing - we’re working on all of these @cosmik.network !

It’s 2025 and annotations are still trapped in screenshots… Take this great post as an example. Most people reading the original blog (Zuck's) have no idea this annotation exists. Imagine browsing with trusted connected annotations as contextual overlays, giving you the expert perspectives you need

We are inundated with information but missing the context that would help us navigate it wisely. That context often exists, it’s just not connected properly >

"Lack of Open Peer Review is Weird... A troubled scholarly article is similar to a contaminated head of lettuce: despite having inspection schedules and reporting mechanisms, the object and its warnings are too often separate from each other."

Watch this space 👀

Human data makes AI better, but does AI make humans better? Unfortunately this is far from obvious (for example cognitive atrophy due to over-outsourcing)

Hybrid intelligence is a useful concept: co-evolving AI-augmented collective intelligence where both humans and AI improve each other over time

“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” What is the role of human researchers in the age of AI? Great synthesis here, with many thought-provoking ideas that deserve broader discussion. Thoughts🧵 > cadmusjournal.org/article/volu...

Interesting exchange @besttrousers.bsky.social @nathantankus.bsky.social that raises an important meta issue about discourse:
*We need better ways of surfacing quality arguments!*
With @cosmik.network we're working on ways to filter for those 10% of arguments that really deserve our attention

"Collective intelligence via structured contextualization."
This is what we're building towards!

We had a great onsite in NYC last week w/ @sharef.bsky.social @ronent.bsky.social @wesleyfinck.org - product brainstorming, strategy, bouldering and homebrewed kombucha! 🍻

Also inspiring convos w/ @exgenesis.ingroup.social @clinamenic.com & many more!
IRL sensemaking is the best ✨
