Oh! I wasn’t aware that Arvid is on Bluesky!

“My name’s Richard Grayson, but all the other kids at the orphanage just call me Dick.”
“Yeah, well, children can be cruel.”
One of my favorite jokes in the movie, but maybe the 5-year-old doesn’t necessarily have to understand it just yet…

We are in the midst of an all-out attempt to exclude the global majority from science. Watson was clear about where he fell on that. I would trade every single dinner, meeting, seminar, fancy campus, and prestigious donor for my incredible friends to be safer. Their science is worth far more.

Took down my post about it, thank you for making me aware

Interesting — I had missed this entirely. Only saw the reporting in major news outlets, they skipped this context

Kind of wild that I could correctly guess who you're referring to before clicking the link

(I would also fire any researcher who is using SPSS by blindly clicking around the menu, if that helps)

Sure, and we can agree to disagree on that. In my view, the potential benefits of LLMs are far outweighed by their downsides, risks & ethical issues. Reasonable minds can disagree on the weight of these things, but a researcher who is using LLMs without being aware of them is not working competently

Of course not. So long as they understand the method that they're using.
Have you ever asked a (non-AI specialized) scientist how an LLM works or how reliable its results are under different circumstances? Because I have. And the answer will be "I don't know" in every single case.
