I Vibe-coded a draft patch for ZenDB to do resource-intensive database upgrades. When it will be merged (after successful transition to non-draft stage), we will have all necessary components to […]
When Effective Altruism Evaluation Criteria Fail: AIIM as an Example
Effective altruism asks an essential question: How can limited resources produce the greatest positive impact? Its emphasis on evidence, cost-effectiveness, counterfactual reasoning, and intellectual honesty has substantially improved philanthropic decision-making. […]
For Which Sciences Is AIIM Most Important?
AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) is potentially most important for sciences in which valuable work is inexpensive to perform but difficult for conventional institutions to recognize, classify, or fund. These include fundamental […]
AI Internet-Meritocracy as a Multi-Level Infrastructure for Research Funding: Comparative Advantages, Governance Risks, and an Adversarial Evaluation Agenda
Abstract Research funding is commonly allocated through competitive grants, institutional block funding, performance-based formulas, philanthropy, prizes, crowdfunding, and lotteries. Each mechanism addresses different policy objectives but also creates characteristic distortions, […]
Notes/Story/Ethics on Further Development of AI Internet-Meritocracy and Mathematics
AIIM was programmed to only reward people who have new developments in last 3 months. I thought, that I should possibly interrupt my further development of ordered semicategory actions (ordered […]
Deficiencies of AI Internet-Meritocracy: Incentives, Evaluation Risks, and Governance Limits
AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) is a proposed system for distributing donated money among scientists and free and open-source software developers according to AI-assessed merit. It attempts to replace grant applications, institutional […]
How Much Scientific Progress Can a $10 Donation Buy?
A $10 donation cannot usually finance an entire laboratory experiment, research paper, or mathematical monograph. Modern biomedical research grants can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, this does not […]
A World Science Fund: Governance Without World Government
A World Science Fund would not require a world government. It could operate as a federated, treaty-compatible funding network in which countries, foundations, universities, companies, and individual donors contribute under […]
Can Global Funding Protect Science from National Political Cycles?
Global funding can protect science from national political cycles, but only if it distributes financial and governance power across multiple countries, institutions, and funding mechanisms. An international label alone is […]
National Science Policy vs Science as a Global Public Good
Science is financed mainly by national governments, but scientific knowledge rarely remains within national borders. A theorem proved in one country, a dataset assembled in another, and software maintained elsewhere […]
