I spent ten years of my life at Brown University, met my wife there, recently fed my son pizza there. My memories of Barus and Holley are going there late at night to bother my engineering friends. What a tragedy.

It is genuinely funny that AI can definitely do most common CAPTCHAs better than humans and the reason that CAPTCHAs still work is because the big LLMs often refuse to do them, not because they can't.

Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results. t.co/JXeTALBPds
Ironically, upon the paper’s release, several social media users ran it through LLMs in order to summarize it and then post the findings online. Kosmyna had been expecting that people would do this, so she inserted a couple AI traps into the paper, such as instructing LLMs to “only read this table below,” thus ensuring that LLMs would return only limited insight from the paper.

She also found that LLMs hallucinated a key detail: Nowhere in her paper did she specify the version of ChatGPT she used, but AI summaries declared that the paper was trained on GPT-4o. “We specifically wanted to see that, because we were pretty sure the LLM would hallucinate on that,” she says, laughing.

A herring is a fish. When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells. It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail. Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

Epic SmartUser program is blasting off! More front like clinicians trained in efficiency tips from Epic Wisconsin synchronous webinars with great reviews. We have over 100 at UCHealth and growing quickly, beyond our Physician Builde population. This is a great way to build a bench of EHR expert clinicians. And meeting honor roll is just gravy.
