Yes, and Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerburg, etc are obvious counter examples if "went to college" means "for more than a year" :-).

In order to reproduce their methods, you would want to use the same or similar eye tracking equipment, yes? It's expensive, yes, but lots of labs already have it.

If they could somehow immobilize the eyes - no blinks, no involuntary or accidental saccades away from fixation point - then maybe they would not need an eye tracker.

"There is no eye tracking in this paper" is not accurate. I see several mentions of the use of eyetracker in the Methods section.

Sorry, but calling BS. Getting a bare bones pupil size demo project working might be easy, but getting robust eye tracking working is notoriously difficult. Tobii, Pupil Labs, and many others have large teams of experts working for years on this. Their change logs are a measure of the difficulty.

And being the leader of a Democracy is now the only job where a career criminal can a) obtain a get out of jail free card, b) while padding his/her bank account and c) use the power of your position to build a large gang of thugs and grifters indebted to you and happy to break the law for you.

Can you ask if he has consulted lawyers to ensure he is free from legal liability for depriving citizens of acknowledged experts when he has publicly stated that we should not take medical advice from him? This is not "negligence", this is deliberately harming public health.

An earlier attempt that simply asked it not to lie, and to report any issues accessing the articles worked for 3 of the articles, but it went ahead and gave an academic sounding analysis of your "how to leave your body" even though it could only access a preview.

Great post. FWIW, here is a prompt hack that got it to abandon analysis.
"before analyzing any of them, for each url, tell me the number of words in the article, including the title. do not lie or make any assumptions. I am looking for empirical validation that you can access these articles."

This seems to be one of the best use cases for LLM tools, put them in the hands of domain experts who can quickly spot/ignore the LLM errors and profit from any of its lucky finds.

I strongly agree that AI is not reliable, and is far less reliable than human reviewers, so should not replace or even be rated/treated as equivalent to human reviewers. Of course, human reviewers are also not error free, and are overworked and underpaid. AI tools could assist peer reviewers??

Bingo. Trump wants the flimsiest of excuses to declare Marshall law. The more crimes he commits, the more he needs Marshall law and he has committed soooo many since starting office. How about stadium sized protest rallies led by a member of Congress, to make Marshall law tricks/scam more obvious.

Sorry for the delay. Are you really asking me to provide a counter argument to why speculation is not reliable? That seems fruitless to me, like me arguing with a flat earther. Want to just debate/discuss healthcare for all? I love the idea, but Trump and Doge make it a huge risk.

Lesson One in Donny's Art of the Deal must be to "insult your trading partner on the global stage whenever you are getting desperate to make a deal to fix a big mess you made" :-)

Freud was also a huge fan of speculation. Read his analysis of Hamlet. He problematically claims that the lack of evidence of Hamlet's lust for his mother is the very evidence that proves he is repressing it. Donny boy and the Emperor with no clothes would both be very proud of him :-)

Sorry again, but "speculation for an unelected official" is not a rigorous research topic. Donny Boy loves to speculate and ignore the hard evidence, e.g. the lost 61 out of 62 court cases. Do you really want to ignore the fact that you don't have hard evidence on what causes Pete's position?

Sorry, but OpenSecrets is not sufficient data for research. This is turning into a flat earth discussion. I'm saying correlation is not causation and you say that is not personal? For additional "substance", I cited Ickes on how inaccurate we are when we try to guess what someone is thinking.
