A leading career option for me is joining them, and among other things rebuilding their tech (which is originally from 1991).
Thoughts? (consider forwarding this question to people involved in meta-science, that would help me!)
I specifically think:
My professional interests and skillset are very well fitted for this kind of thing.
I have some vision for improving arxiv, for example “let people tag an article as your-code-doesn’t-run” (and upvote existing tags). I hope to disincentivize people from publishing nonsense (knowing that others will see whatever tag becomes most upvoted on their article).
The dream would be to create a mature karma system like stackoverflow, where people could get reputation by things that help the community, and not only from publishing. Of course this is a very complicated thing to do, but arxiv are in a perfect position to do it.
I’m not an academic, maybe I have no idea what I’m talking about
Having EA run arxiv sounds potentially useful, maybe?
Is advancing science bad because it will help get AGI sooner?
Working at arxiv.org—what do you think?
