tony kulesa just RT’d endorsement, it has much of bioxiv

it’s nice to stock up some prompts to use them in batch later…

This will be incredibly powerful but I suspect there is a real art to crafting an effective prompt.

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

Speaking of Prism… I tried Prism a few days ago. It might be bad news for Overleaf as a company, but I’ll continue using Overleaf to write my papers.

Prism did a good job on some of my tasks. One was to take a kind of “pidgin LaTEX” that I sent in an email to a grader and turn it into a readable, presentable solution sheet that students could read. It worked very well, and made good stylistic decisions.

Next I asked it to create a “makeup exam” of problems similar to ones I gave before, and it did less well. It’s good at solving problems, but less good at extrapolating to come up with equally interesting problems in the same general area.

Addendum: It doesn’t do particularly well at writing solution sheets – it screws up a lot (maybe it uses an older GPT-5 model, like GPT-5.1 or something, as it missed almost every single problem, and even after I gave it hints!). I also tried to see if it would help with adding tags and metadata to LaTeX files to make them Title II accessibility compliant (a huge pain in ass right now in departments across the country!), and it nailed it for the first file, then failed with the second one. If OpenAI could just nail that one thing (making Latex documents Title II compliant), that would be a huge benefit, putting them ahead of Overleaf.
