@meltedcheese@c.im @factsentinel@mstdn.social @gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz and well, who has time to chase papers two levels deep (i.e., a paper in the bibliography of a paper cited by the paper you're currently looking at) or more these days? ;)

@gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz @factsentinel@mstdn.social @tpfto@mathstodon.xyz Exactly. We should have AI track this for us. The AI tech is called “non-monotonic reasoning” and it is the basis for considering future hypothetical situations given certain assumptions. The hard for AI, and extremely hard for people, is unwinding all the inferences you’ve made that are traceable to assumption that should be retracted — e.g., a result from a retracted paper. Same idea.
