I think problem with natural sciences is that it is not so easy to verify solutions to problems - there are always countless competing explanations for the data which is also often noisy - I find AI to lack the "common sense" when

Science is self-correcting, but sometimes, the correction mechanism it is very slow and inconsequential enough that people are incentivized to just publish anything. Peer review is merely a quality check—and not a very good one. Just the ot

Gemini is really odd in particular (even with reasoning). Chatgpt still uses a similar religion-influenced language but it's not as weird.

Why E-Ink isn't cheap yet? I see supermarkets using hundreds (maybe thousands) of panels with different sizes for displaying prices. I doubt they are paying 50$ for 7" display panel.

LLMs provide nonlinear leverage for experts. So far, I see them increasing the divide between developers or tech-oriented people and end users.

Actually the model for the greenhouse effect is pretty simple, climate models are much more sophisticated than that for example CESM have about 5000 equations as the model takes into account interactions between the biosphere and the atmosp

Does the API offer access to the same model as the one used in ChatGPT web app? If so it might be way cheaper to use the API than ChatGPT plus?
