“[ChatGPT and large language models] could lead to human error [in command and control] based on overdependence. It’s a precision-guided munition against human intelligence and human rationality.” lnkd.in/gjzXnRrW

I estimate that the chances of getting Covid from a moderate exposure to an infected person (sitting in my row on a plane or a nearby table in a restaurant) is ~5-10%. That's a rough guess – & would vary depending on things like exposure time, ventilation, distancing, etc. (8/25)
