It really does happen overnight. My daughter grew 1/2" from the 30th to the 2nd recently, and she's 9. It'll be interesting to see what, say, 13-15 does for her height-wise.

This part of the nature paper really underscores why “Gen AI has the illusion of… discovery with overconfidence” Mathematically, and procedurally, it goes directly to known data and maps a plan from there. Which gives high confidence based on what’s known. But, thus, limits findings to what’s known

In the context of hypothesis: results on the origin of hypotheses
Formulating meaningful hypotheses from observations is central to scientific discovery and even more challenging than classical statistics-based pattern finding because it requires a creative spark to ask surprising and important questions 30,34
We find that humans often conduct several experiments with curiosity first and see what the experimental outcomes are; then, they formulate a hypothesis to explain the observed phenomenon in the discovery task. For humans, the hypothesis space is unknown. As the number of experiments increases, anomalies or surprising phenomena from experimental outcomes spark human curiosity and consequently the generation of various alternative hypotheses, consistent with the process shown in Fig. 1. However, ChatGPT4 takes a different approach. It treats pretrained data as constituting the known hypothesis space. It then uses a statistical and analogical reasoning approach to formulate hypotheses based on correlations between established scientific knowledge and the content of the discovery task. Because the discovery task involves E. coli and lactose, ChatGPT4 focused on the lac operon model in E. coli. ChatGPT4 mentioned that this operon is a well-studied model system in molecular biology that explains how bacteria adapt their enzyme production in response to the availability of different sugars. Therefore, ChatGPT4 used this foundational knowledge to perform an analogical extension to tailor the hypotheses to the current discovery task and proposed five hypotheses at once.
Interestingly, ChatT4showed high confidenceinthe hypotheses it proposed and believed that its formulation method ensures that the hypotheses are scientifically plausible and directly relevant to the discovery task. We find that its hypothesis generation process is similar to searching for information in a known hypothesis space with existing published works by humans and selecting the best hypotheses t…

I worked as a civil servant for almost a decade, and in 2016 I would run across people without email addresses who were doing JUST FINE, like, the world won't end for me if I don't tell chatGPT my medical information.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

As an expert on sexual violence, I have to add that these ethical violations are a nightmare for interviews on sensitive subjects. I would never recommend ANY survivor goes public with their story at an outlet that would do this to them.

talked about this before and again, i'm speaking as a third generation journeyman trades worker, but working in trades is not something that any of the people who write these pieces, or honestly most of you, respect at all. It's perceived as something you do when all the "good" options are gone.

If he was claiming any flavor of historical accuracy I would be fully supportive of ripping him to shreds, but you're right here, it was never about historical accuracy and so playing around can be interesting, even illuminating about the original work from the different lens.

It's also easy to say she's just incorrect and doesn't have enough of a grasp on a genre to be taken seriously, and then go about your day?? Easier, in fact, than wishing her death and disease and whatever else people are doing in her mentions she will never read anyway???

I'll always be grateful I studied botany in college bc there is no better educator on "nature just does stuff idk" than plants, and it has primed me to be so much more accepting of people just being than I think anything else ever could.

This is just an opinion but we are entering a formal Dark Age and who knows what itll look like afterwards. I can't stop thinking of the book Motel of Mysteries, its a piece about what archeology of this time would tell people in the future about us after North America gets buried in junk mail.

4. I think the current fracturing of written word into human, human/AI, and AI is so substantial a change it is genuinely difficult to predict where it will go. Its like the death of marketing, social media, and shared reality in one go.

3. The basics include a comparative statement with a negative start and a declarative follow up, em dashes, words like quietly, pipeline, real, processed/processing, or rhythm, excessive line breaks, and a very basic essay structure with a very obvious conclusion. Also weird therapy speak.
