I've been clamoring for this for a year now, but I'm so accustomed to the web interface I think I'll wait until it's matured: - Can't adjust font display size - Can't open multiple chat windows at once - Can&#x

Can confirm, it was an Encyclopedia Brown book and it was World War One vs the Great War that gave away the sword as a counterfeit!

Wow, 6.5 hours is a long time to do anything that requires focus, much less a spacewalk…!

Science is hard, and that's why science rarely gives black-and-white answers. This study is not the one final word on the matter. But that doesn't mean it's not still useful. Science is done based on the evidence that is foun

The author notes that in the data analysis, ChatGPT hallucinates an incorrect fact…there seems like such a huge gulf between “ChatGPT can do 90% of a data analysis but some might be wrong” and “ChatGPT can do data analysis with great accura

Is there any scientific evidence to support the value of AI therapy?

I did a PhD in statistics, and spent a lot of that time doing applied modeling. My perspective is that MCMC is one of the great scientific discoveries of the 20th century. There are pros and cons to different samplers, lots of caveats, conc

I'm personally not a fan of gatekeeping. And your example is a false equivalency -- no one is claiming to be a professional engineer here.

This is a great illustration of the risks of LLMs. As a user, if I am asking this question to a search engine, I definitely do not expect to need to fact-check the results. That's the whole reason to use the search engine in the firs

This is like encryption: the cat is out of the bag and there's no getting it back in. As computing power increases, control of LLMs will be democratized / made widely available, and no amount of regulation will stop that. More to

Imagine a model that decides on its own to assert the Fifth on your behalf. But now imagine that AI decides to lock you out of your own system...

These privacy considerations are highest-priority for any extended roll-out of LLM-based products. Privacy on the side of model servers would be good. Open source models that can be run locally would be better.

These "augmented intelligence" applications are so exciting to me. I'm not as interested in autonomous artificial intelligence. Computers are tools to make my life easier, not meant to lead their own lives! There's a big

This raises huge red flags for privacy. Presumably OpenAI keeps full logs of every interaction with ChatGPT / GPT-3, but this isn't self-evident when you're using them. And it feels intimate--it feels like you're talking

Seems like anti-tracking by Apple had a tangible impact on their business -- revenue down from last year.

Given the published true and false positive rates, it's clear that the true positives do not "vastly outnumber" false positives.

I foresee a dystopian education outcome: 1. Classifiers like this are used to flag possible AI-generated text 2. Non-technical users (teachers) treat this like a 100% certainty 3. Students pay the price. Especially with a true positive ra

This is such good advice. You can’t learn empathy from a place of self-centeredness[1]; it has to be genuine. I don’t ask the doctor’s administrative assistant about their day in order to get preferential treatment, that’s just a perk that

It still has a place, but with precise targeting at specific problems. Generalized solutions that prioritize accuracy over all else may be successful at a wider variety of tasks, but there will always be a role for statistical analysis and
