The "AI use ... To help me learn" graph is really interesting! It may be interpreted as showing moderate selective AI use being beneficial and, perhaps, even mitigating the effect of socioeconomic status, that is democratising the

It does, however, introduce a potentially enormous attack surface into ChatGPT, along with creative opportunities for less security conscious individuals and LLMs.

From METR: ”the compromise of OpenAI’s own infrastructure continued past July 13, 2026” - Say what now? Have they regained full control of their systems again?

Definitely AI slop. It is interesting that in such a short amount of time the brain has learnt a new aversive pattern, and refuses to engage with it. I still have no clue what Waymo said. The brain just skipped the attention part when detec

It depends on setting, especially country but also institution of course. 25-30% of all research world wide is government financed. In the EU 76% of university research is financed by the government and 57% in the US. I'm happy to disc

Medical risks are the most commonly mentioned, for instance, alcohol is a major risk for cancer and, in some regions, has overtaken smoking as a leading risk factor. But in my personal experience, the most damaging consequences of alcohol u

Your claim was: "Sugar is much more addictive and harmful than alcohol". I have no objection to the claim that obesity claims more lives than alcohol in the US.

I love the sock puppet throwaway account trolling here. There are risks getting out of bed in the morning, but there are greater risks NOT getting out of bed in the morning. Risk is apparently a very difficult subject.

Your argument is misguided and tries to make the issue about the cultural background of the people making the argument rather than the merits of the argument itself. Most of the researchers I've worked with consume alcohol, they are ta

Please provide any scientific evidence of your claim.

I spent some time working with CBT for alcohol use disorder, mainly treating "active individuals". I've heard your line of reasoning many times. No level of alcohol consumption is considered risk free from a scientific point

It's just writing for dramatic effect it seems. The claim that the paper is 'used as “definitive” argument in the medical discussions' seems quite absurd given that the paper itself was published just two months ago.

Even the best people seem to go out of their way to rationalise (their own?) alcohol consumption. As a nowadays leading cause of cancer in many regions, and associated with dependency and other secondary negative outcomes, perhaps it is tim

The S in AI is for security. The lack of security prowess in the AI industry is disturbing. Fail to design, fail to configure, fail to monitor and blaming "the model". Disclosure seems to be happening at least, which is a good thi

This. It makes sense to develop a quick turnaround silicon process, and it makes sense to do it with the smallest possible "AGI" model which can be served for years in the long tail.

Genre images are frequently used to give a post an aura, as a kind of decoration and serves no other purpose than that. Then there are the images that does not quite fit in, that gives that AI ick. Few, if anyone, like them. They demonstrat

The issue associated with whataboutism is that it is a deflection strategy. It aims to steer the focus away from the issue at hand. Commonly regarded as intentional manipulation or lack of adherence to social conversation norms.

Heat exchange is used instead of refrigerating the coolant. Makes sense. How do they manage the indoor climate for the humans working there though? Eventually everything will be at 45C in the building, will it not?

Requesting human attention demands demonstrating human effort[1]. Slop at its worst: obscuring actual insight. The main one being that there are no exponential growth curves, no hockey-sticks, they're all logistic s-curves at most. Sur

The FFT is essentially just a matrix multiplication, or two. No need for fancy conversions. Just a huge amount of training data and a very large array.

The power needs of a house of course vary with many parameters. Our 100 square meter house in Nordic climate draws 1.2 kW on average over a year including charging the car. What are common numbers elsewhere?
