Neurobiology, genetics, molecular biology, biophysics, general mad science, and a reasonable amount of terror.
I'll also propose that it's likely that the LLPS field has not responded to you simply because relatively few people are following your arguments all the way to the ultimate conclusion.

I understand and agree. But I have a degree in biophysics. If I was reading this on the basis of my molecular biology or neurobiology knowledge, it would fly over my head. This is why I suggest a longer text that builds up from basic ideas.

Detailed explanation of the essential binding paradox would be helpful. This cannot, I think, be done in this medium; it has to be a paper or an essay at least. Starting from undergraduate level, a brief overview of solvation and aggregation, building up to why LLPS requires contradictory behavior.

Andrea, I think you are probably correct, and the field needs a major correction. However, your messages here and your papers are both actually quite difficult to follow, even for experts slightly outside the field. It may be worthwhile to put together a longer explanation, building up from basics.

I already encountered several cases where LLM-given advice led to adverse outcomes. I also ran into a few cases where people who didn't have access to appropriate care got correct answers from LLMs. With healthcare affordability declining, we're about to plumb the depths in both directions...

It is a way to protect investments and official positions taken by the members of the current administration.

The appeal here is obvious to anyone who has ever studied psychopaths and the way they treat others. Not as beings with individual personality, but as toys to be used for one's amusement.

And worst of all? They did all of this without bringing cool black robes into fashion.

And what about AI videos of still living people? Well, that's no longer necromancy; instead, it is the second great evil of fantasy and science fiction - mind control. But it's still about puppets. Someone creates a puppet replica of a living person, and then pulls the strings.

And that is not the end to the parallel. How are these undead raised? "Here, oh data center, take this sacrifice of electricity and pollution and fresh water that is in ever lower supply; and give me a ghoul, and let it speak the words I put into its mouth, and let it move as I say it should."
October 6, 2025 at 11:01 PM
And that is exactly what the AI videos are doing. That wasn't Robin Williams talking. There was no Robin Williams there at all. It was a ghoul of Robin Williams, all of his essence drained, just a Robin-Williams-shaped puppet for whichever necromancer decided to raise him.

Much more than grinning skulls or gory zombies, it is this idea that truly disturbs most people: that some asshat can take away everything that makes you who and what you are, then turn what remains into a toy to play with. Or a horror to inflict on others.

In fantasy books and movies, necromancers are usually shown as an epitome of evil. Not because they deal with death, but because of something much more deeply repulsive - they remove the core of life and consciousness from living beings, and turn the remains into puppets for the necromancer's will.

All politics and Fetterman aside, sadly, you are wrong here. Personality changes, increases in anger and violent tendencies, changes in fundamental desires and cognitive patterns - all of that can follow a stroke. It is a terrifying reminder of how fragile our minds and sense of self are.

Of course it is, we don't want Shiv to lie to his mom!

Tell her it is a gang that has a long standing beef with Charlie Kirk's gang. And that it appears poor Charlie died in a gang-related school shooting...

For all the liberals tsk-tsking on how "gloating about political violence is bad:"

A drunk driving advocate gets run over by a drunk driver. Noting the irony and FAFO aspects of that situation does not constitute a defense of drunk driving, not a claim that drunk driving is a good thing.

Should be triple that, but in the current environment, I'll just take it as a win that a sexual predator got convicted at all.

Tim Burchett represents Knoxville, which is only slightly lower in terms of violent crime, and much worse in terms of property crime. Does he hide in his office there as well?

There's decay, but there are still many worthwhile reads. "Childhood's End" comes to mind; and almost everything by LeGuin. And then there is problematic stuff which is still worth reading for sheer uniqueness, e.g. Alfred Bester.
