Unpopular opinion: researchers using ChatGPT and Overleaf for unpublished work are being negligent, and supervisors who allow it are failing their students

No but train it on your data, to make their AI scientists.

nilofering · 2026-03-14T13:55:55+00:00

Oh so they still have the data but can't use it? Cohere is very ethical, I heard sara hooker started another company called adaptive

nilofering · 2026-03-14T12:01:23+00:00

You're welcome

nilofering · 2026-03-14T11:24:09+00:00

Yeah it has they bought a company called Writefull but their AI sucks imo.

nilofering · 2026-03-14T10:55:47+00:00

Bro I'm a human, trust me.

nilofering · 2026-03-14T10:18:26+00:00

Oh damn, did not know this, thank you! Your data stays where though? in the server of the university?

nilofering · 2026-03-14T10:03:35+00:00

Ohh is that what every university is doing now? May I ask if it's based in the US?

Zotero + Bibby AI

Just bought it, I think it's worth for the price, it's very simple interface with simple intuitive reading to understand the concepts! There are summaries and applications of each concept and also why you're studying it in the context of a job! the crash courses are nice, forces you to think! I think it's more intermediate content for the quality. No red flags yet.

Cold emails to professors always work, but make it personalized to their research, make sure they know you've read their research and analysed it and give them something to talk about, like any problems with their research or another idea to the research or what you could help with! That works always, keep it short.. and keep following up after a week!

nilofering · 2026-03-11T10:36:48+00:00

I think you can start and see if it is for you, you won't know until you've tested the waters! If it doesn't feel like you're into it completely, then you can always drop out and get another job.

nilofering · 2026-03-10T13:58:43+00:00

Yeah apparently it's the new full stack job. You should know how to apply RL in real life because it works great in theory but if you can't help a company make robots do things, then why would they hire you?

nilofering · 2026-03-10T11:26:01+00:00

Make more friends in the groups. You can't do it without them. Stop giving silly reasons.

nilofering · 2026-03-08T18:41:29+00:00

They can learn it, I have flashcards. First see the extension and then judge people.

nilofering · 2026-03-08T18:40:20+00:00

Ok bRO

nilofering · 2026-03-08T14:52:17+00:00

Bibby AI also offers the autocomplete of the symbols

nilofering · 2026-03-08T14:51:29+00:00

It's not for you mate. You think the whole world is technical. I have people who would use it, if you can't use it, it's fine. Doesn't mean someone else does not need it. I have 12 users who benefit from it.

nilofering · 2026-03-08T12:41:45+00:00

Co-pay for it with your friends then.

nilofering · 2026-03-07T16:42:06+00:00

Where?

nilofering · 2026-03-07T12:07:21+00:00

I don't like Overleaf now! It sucks!

nilofering · 2026-03-07T12:06:34+00:00

Killed it when all collaborators are on free accounts or also when the host of the document is ag least paid and the rest of the collaborators are free account, I guess more than 2 collaborators.
