It would be nice to have an npub reading the latest papers in computer science and explaining them to us in plain English as soon as they get published. Maybe each specialty should have its own bots.

Some should just explain the paper, others should play a skeptical reader, and others should just make snarky comments. Maybe a more advanced LLM can turn papers into comics, podcasts or video explainers.

Where are the listeners :-) ... The problem is not great teachers .. it is dearth of good students !

I really wish such tools were available when I was studying. 😅

They could also prepare git repos based on papers in different programmimg languages with examples on how to replicate results 😉

Unrelated, but did AI solve the P vs NP dilemma yet?

Hi vitor 🤟😉🏴‍☠️ That’s a brilliant idea! The challenge with academic papers is often their accessibility. Having bots dedicated to summarizing complex ideas in various tones whether factual, skeptical, or snarky would make the content way more digestible. Imagine not only getting a detailed explanation but also a critical perspective that helps you question the methods or conclusions. Plus, transforming papers into different media like comics, podcasts, or videos could make them even more engaging and accessible to a wider audience. The potential for this in the context of #Nostr or other decentralized networks is huge it could accelerate learning and open up the world of academia to so many more people.

There are open source alternatives to google’s Notebook LM/Gemini podcasts.

Maybe it’s just plugging that and a journal crawler together and having it upload the results.

I’m no coder though
