Reminds me of that dystopian virtual sex scene in Demolition Man (slightly nsfw) - https://youtu.be/E3yARIfDJrY

That's one scenario, but I also see a potential scenario where this integration makes it easier to manage the full "chain of evidence" for claimed results, as well as replication studies and discovered issues, in order to then make it easier to invalidate results recursively.

At the end of the day, it's all about the incentives. Can we have a world where we incentivize finding the truth rather than just publishing and getting citations?

Really desperate now.

Yes, but there's a really large number of users who don't want to have to setup vscode, git, texlive, latex workshop, just to collaborate on a paper. You shouldn't have to become a full stack software engineer to be able to write a research paper in LaTeX.
