Cosmik January Updates
Kicking off 2026! Co-organizing ATScience in Vancouver, launching CAIROS with Discourse Graphs, gearing up for MIRA workshop. 550 signups and 200+ users created cards on Semble. We added search, media type detection (research, books, podcasts, etc) & interop with Margin, another atproto social bookmarking app. Semble collections as live data sources hint at the potential of putting reading lists, portfolios, and other links "on protocol.”

Cosmik New Year: 2025 in Review, and Looking Forward to 2026
2025 was a big year for Cosmik: Semble went from concept to working product, with active users, a public API, and community members already building on top. We also launched the ATProto Science and CAIROS initiatives to help build an ecosystem bigger than any single product. 2026 will be about making Semble shine—and weaving it into a vibrant ecosystem for collective intelligence. Here's our year in review and what's next.

Introducing CAIROS: Collective Augmented Intelligence for Research and Open Science
Excited to introduce CAIROS - a cooperative federation building collectively stewarded research commons! 🌱 We're combining modular research, self-sovereign open social networks, and cooperative governance to create new pathways for open science beyond traditional funding models.

Introducing ATProto Science
ATProto has huge potential for supporting new ways of doing research, so we started a new initiative to help bring together researchers, build community, and explore what's possible when science meets cutting-edge open social networks. Also - join us in Vancouver on March 27, 2026, for a full-day exploration of AT Protocol for science, education, and open knowledge.

The Fork in the Road: AI Horseless Carriages or Collective Intelligence for Science
Last month I attended an in-person gathering of scientists, technologists and field-builders at the intersection of AI and metascience. This post is an extended version of a talk I gave there. The prompt for the talk was an invitation to explore one of the main discussion topics at the event - metascience threats and opportunities posed by AI acceleration.

Cosmik awarded $1M grant from Open Philanthropy and Astera Institute for new social knowledge network for researchers
We’re proud to announce that Cosmik has been awarded a total of $1M in grant funding from Open Philanthropy and the Astera Institute! These generous 2-year grants will support the next chapter of Cosmik and our work at the intersection of next-generation collaborative knowledge tools, AI and science social media. Specifically, the grants will support the development of Semble, a micro-knowledge sharing and discovery network for researchers on Bluesky/ATProto.

Landslide; a ghost story
On March 27, 1964, a converted liberty ship named the SS Chena brought a shipment of supplies to the port of Valdez, Alaska. Valdez, which I need you to know is pronounced “valDEEZ,” sits at the end of a fjord—a narrow inlet carved by a glacier.

Hegseth’s War On Anthropic Encounters The First Amendment
The expression, “to make a federal case out of something” usually describes making a bigger deal out of something than it should be. But in the case of Anthropic and Hegseth, Trump, and the Department of Defense*, this federal case is actually quite simple: what the government defendants did to Anthropic is beyond the bounds […]
