1. Overleaf is killed. 2. Every new paper should list ChatGPT as a coauthor. 3. OpenAI will learn how researchers actually collaborate and turn that into a scientific discovery engine. 4. didn't Sam say yesterday they screwed up creative writing?

babe, wake up. cursor for scientists just dropped. if prism can accelerate science 10% as much as AI has accelerated software engineering... that alone is worth 2% GDP. [video]

I had early access to Prism. As a biomedical scientist, I don't use LaTeX editors, but it's clear OpenAI Prism will be super useful tool for those in math or physics research. I felt working with symbols and making diagrams is a joy. Anyone with these needs should give it a try.

Cursor for science??? Intriguing new direction from OpenAI Could be a neat tool to accelerate research, and also a great training ground for getting data on science to feed into the model. Btw, every tool an AI lab launches should be considered a two sided marketplace between a […

FINALLY COMPETITION FOR OVERLEAF. Writing papers was already on my docket for tasks to be changed forever with AI in 2026. This'll supercharge it.

The shift is clear: OpenAI wants to position ChatGPT as the most important product for research and science. With prism they go another big step into that direction.

AI has fundamentally changed coding and research, at least 5× faster. Publishing papers alone matters less now. The only real standard is: can your work be used to train or improve AI models?

ok so i think this is pretty cool — @openai released Prism which seems to be a multiplayer “talk to your document” that actually builds and renders LaTeX. I'm a big believer in increasing scannability of AI outputs with rich documents, and LaTeX layout has been the standard for […

my favourite latex editor, crixet, got acquired by OpenAI. bit unexpected but hopefully that means that some much needed features, such as git integration, will be added faster. [image]

Very cool new tool from OpenAI for writing scientific papers. Two thoughts came to mind. First, while not a new model, this can help accelerate science. Second, this could be a precedent for other OpenAI document editing tools, such as for docs and sheets and presentations.

OpenAI finally competes against Overleaf. I'm sure it will be better than Overleaf, but to do it one day before the ICML deadline, seriously?!?!?
