check out my new preprint!

@wc_ratcliff I think use of AI should be disclosed, even if the paper is vetted for accuracy. It would affect how I read the paper, expecting summary/rehashing rather than novel insights

I volunteered to run an ethics seminar focusing on the use of AI in scientific research. I have my own opinions, but I'd love a broader sample. Consider the following question: Assume that the output is vetted and 100% accurate. The use of LLMs in scientific writing is:

@breakliquid before looking at the text i thought i was looking at a buzz lightyear toy phone for kids 😂

Bye bye $300 PCR machine from ebay. You lasted many years and helped clone hundreds of constructs. 🫡

@MarkusDeserno professors and students will both be roboticized, thereby allowing administrators to do the most essential work of academia

For all those who are worrying that ChatGPT will result in students using it to cheat on homework and exam, I wanted to point out that this slices both ways. 😉

thanks @haroldkimlab for teaching me the art of science!

@loicaroyer it can't draw a cat, but it can draw an ascii cat, which i tried yesterday

Overall, quite impressive, and it could be useful, and you might learn a few things with it. However, you also clearly should take every answer with a grain of salt... Try it here: chat.openai.com/chat 9/n

I just tried #gptchat from @OpenAI and it is predictably cool. I probably already jaded and it is becoming harder to impress me, I guess. And yet, at some level it is still mind-blowing. A short thread... 1/n I am a polite person, so first I said 'Hello'

@KenJennings @louisvirtel A real vixen

My wife bought this at a consignment store while I was out of town. The dogs bark and growl at it. I keep thinking it’s one of the dogs. Just bad vibes all the way from this reindeer. 👎

@KAMacGillivray i genuinely *feel* like its colder in the winter here than it ever was in colorado

I’m officially south-adapted now because omg it’s so cold

@AlecCookPhysics @cityafreaks if you're willing to pay $8, i think this rl stein puppet would be a cool masters parody account

@DerekHart0 @cityafreaks If 15 million bought this, of what use was Peter Thiel?

First thought when you see this kitchen?

@matthen2 Now thats what i call first passage time

the dumbest way to solve a maze? simulate a gas of thousands of particles diffusing from the start point, until one particle reaches the exit. trace back the winning particle

@wc_ratcliff @andyweirauthor i like how his stories have a grad student office vibe. was rocky your favorite character, question?

Good lord @andyweirauthor's latest book, Project Hail Mary, is good. Literally giddy with excitement at the opportunity to dive back in last night. Fought off sleep for as long as I could, lost the battle, and woke up at 3am with the lights on and phone on my face.
