Tiens, je dois justement enregistrer une capsule vidéo sur l’intégrité scientifique aujourd’hui. 20 minutes, trop court pour entrer dans le sujet de la recherche à l’ère des LLMs, mais ça me donne une idée de conclusion : ouvrir le débat sur ce qui arrive.
Hopefully, it will allow us to refocus on what truly matters in science, on big problems, on intuition and insights, on theory building, and away from the brute mechanics of publishing and the bean counting that has put the breaks on true progress in science.

Donc dans Stargate SG-1 on t’explique qu’alimenter en énergie la porte des étoiles est super complexe et coûte super cher. Mais en 1938 (Stargate Origins : Catherine), relier deux câbles à la batterie d’une vieille jeep-like et pousser un sur l’accélérateur suffit. Si le général Hammond avait su… 😆
