Yo. So for the main election season I was giving to McGrath not because I thought she had best chance or was best candidate but for possible pain to McConnel. On same principle just switched to meidastouch.com for Georgia Senate. Those guys know how to sting.

@XCoastie73 @HedgieMarkets @Vwms63 … traces but most don’t, an effective hallucination catcher for LLMs would require a real proven algorithm for generalized entity resolution and we don’t have that yet and won’t soon, and hallucinations cost a LOT and because every hallucination is a possible source for more…

🦔A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks. The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people. ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher. My Take The researcher made the papers as obviously fake as possible on purpose. The AI systems didn't catch it. Neither did the human researchers who cited it in real journals, which means people are feeding AI-generated references into their work without reading what they're actually citing. I've covered the FDA using AI for drug review, the NYC hospital CEO ready to replace radiologists, and ChatGPT Health launching this year. All of that is happening in the same environment where a condition funded by a Simpsons character and endorsed by the crew of the Enterprise was being presented as emerging medical consensus. The people making these deployment decisions seem to believe the pipeline from research to AI to patient is more supervised than it actually is. This experiment suggests it isn't supervised much at all. Hedgie🤗 nature.com/articles/d4158…

@jridout_ @HedgieMarkets @zerohedge I saw same problem crop up, all humans AFAIK, with 2 niche history topics in Wikipedia. Generations of scholars repeating what they found gradually sanded off the “… the only work which addressed this issue suggested ….” and left behind a smooth coat of “…it is well-known”

Like AI telling me that I need to invest in bonds because I don’t currently have any in my portfolio. There are decades of recommendations to make bonds a part od your portfolio but modern advisors say no. But because there is an overwhelming amount of information in favor, AI recommends it

when spacex was getting started, the first and last men to walk on the moon testified before congress against it. gene cernan told congress commercial space companies "do not yet know what they don't know." he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done." neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals. together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity." spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined. the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!
