SciHub with Claude Citations on top of it with an API to enrich public comms via browser extension and community notes labelers? Thoughts: Who acts as the curators/editors? How do you make sure they continually operate in good faith? What do you do when people ignore facts? You're building a supercharged knowledge graph like Wikipedia, so you're going to need a lot of scaffolding around it.

Yeah, kind of like that. What would be needed to get curated are the facts. Who could do it, would be the author of the original article. Maybe the author just needs to flag the wrong facts. In my, obviously very well minded view, an author has a big interest that first: his scientific article is correct - you get real bad reputation if your science is provable wrong - and that the facts others get out of it, are also correct. Of course, highly positive view :)


I love the idea ("Foundational Shared Truth"), but you don't need a blockchain, just a changelog that can be mirrored or consumed like certificate transparency. I suppose that's a blockchain of sorts?
