Huh? Surely there’s no end to the papers that could be in bottom right cell. That’s over 99% of published articles.

Nice one. Although the article does say he had food as well. So it was a proper meal!

The over generalization of specific LLMs into ‘AI’ is ridiculous and takes debates in wrong directions. Everyone will use the appropriate computerized tools for their tasks. The real question is which tools are most appropriate for which tasks and how can we make those tools better.

You think computers are not artificial?

I haven’t read paper but seems like an odd research question. Obviously it’s a tool w benefits, but that’s not really the point is it.
Plus, everyone uses AI anyway, unless they’re still submitting papers vis typewriter. The real question is what specific things can be done, how to improve them etc

Isn’t Harvard in the private sector, despite current madness?

But not sure how many academics would actually be successful elsewhere and remaining may be more about fear/anxiety/lifestyle preferences as opposed to relishing ‘prestige’. The other jobs that pay more are usually more prestigious.

Interesting. Maybe I’m out of touch. I can see how the top universities are associated with prestige but never considered the job category/title ‘professor’ to be particularly prestigious.

When I was growing up it was more of a ‘respectable’ job for people who were smart but slightly odd.

The ‘best minds’ part is interesting. I suspect academia always attracted ‘smart’ people with certain personality types that were less of good fit elsewhere. Not sure that makes their minds better or worse.

But yes, if the overall status/rewards decline, then fewer smart people will come.
