What on earth?
"A recent research paper found that it is inevitable for LLMs to provide outputs that are not true. However, today I asked three LLMs one tricky question, and none of them provided a fake answer. Rest assured that LLMs are no longer making stuff up, and you can trust them now."

This. Or consider turning mob griefing off. It doesn't make a ton of sense to insist on no violence in the context of a game with creatures running around whose only purpose is to explode and destroy your stuff. You can just change the actual game settings.

He doesn't strike me as a person who sleeps well enough OR who has the kind of imagination necessary for nightmares

Having a diagnosis does help with this!

RIGHT?! But also, does it make you feel any better that I did know about mine at the time and yet it didn't make that much of a difference in my care :/

Given the culture around pregnancy sickness, it is somehow predictable, unfathomable, and infuriating all at once that a big name researcher cannot get NIH funding for clinical trials for a promising intervention with a strong basis in prior findings.

2. Trump's nonstandard capitalization (e.g. in the Brazil tariff letter)

3. What it does to us psychologically to have a million small experiences of absurdity and meaninglessness on the Internet each day (this one I might actually try to do research on myself)

I can't believe how long it took in this article to get to actual fraud-related details and not just "she says she is disabled and yet she has fun?!?!"

(that's also setting aside ethical issues with using LLMs in general re: environmental impacts and how these models were trained on humans' work without those humans' approval)

Calculators are also solving a problem that has one correct answer. LLMs are being asked to solve problems that, in theory, have infinite "correct" answers. That's why grading work done by LLM is deeply boring in a way grading work done by a calculator is not.

I've used the calculator analogy myself. One important way it breaks down is that calculators are very reliably correct but LLMs not. Calculators are actually figuring out what the right answer is, but LLMs are just trying to sound smart.

The very first paragraph of the article says that this was already the trend before the pandemic. Stop blaming everything on covid closures without evidence that they specifically are the cause.

I (social science faculty) took an undergrad philosophy of disability class recently that was all nonmajors (as of start of class) and really great content. I don't know whether anyone switched their major because of it but I wouldn't be surprised

Really reminding me of the Enron documentary I used to show in my class:
"These guys could just yank the California economy on its leash whenever they wanted to. And they did it and they did it and they did it, and they made SO MUCH MONEY."

Am I understanding correctly that the profs who were contacted were those who signed a petition expressing concern about *antisemitism*? And that the purpose of obtaining their info and contacting them was to encourage them to snitch against their colleagues?
