People are always saying on social media that gen-AI is here to stay and that it’s retrograde and standing in the way of progress if we reject it. But there are plenty of things that were once the embodiment of progress that we collectively decided to reject, from cocaine in soft drinks to eugenics
Indeed I interviewed for a role a the drug company back in 2012, but chatGPT can be leveraged positively to aid research in most fields imo by most people with a gcse level of STEM or an arts / humanities background understanding of data sets and source data
But eugenics and nukes are just one part of the technology families they are part of - rejecting all AI use cases is like rejecting nuclear power, MRI scans, cancer radiotherapy because you hate the nuke bit … AI can generate better potential cancer drugs candidates than hoomans alone
There’s a LLM company in Cambridge that analyses drug trial data on scales humans can’t for contradictions and likely candidates - shouldn’t be used isolated but a tool for safety
I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthicswww.bbc.com/news/article...
It absofuckinglutely does. If you have to fact check the "fact checker" then there's no point in using it to begin with. Use all the eye roll emojis you want to, but you and AI are still objectively wrong.
It can be very helpful as a sanity tool to proof and round out and explore peripheral themes that you don’t include but want to touch on. Verbose text no but as an assistance too to do due diligence yes. Can help fact check
Last paragraph virtuallyvisual.wordpress.com/2017/08/23/i... ‘it comes with an app to allow you to “allocate laundry tasks to family members” and share “stain-removing tips with other users” ‘- FRO was my thought
I did this years ago just with a plug timer designed for burglar lights as on economy 7 but it contravenes fire service advice to run appliances overnight in uk
Presumably one solved for the over 18s by banking apps and credit card suppliers etc eg monzo and tide types - but that would give platform info on bank accounts 🤔
Renewables were 92% of new power added in 2024. Low carbon sources now accounts for 41% of worldwide electricity.
Though, I can’t help but look at this graph and think about how much better it would look if we weren’t retiring nuclear plants so much faster than we’re building them.
Yeah it’s when the wind don’t blow and the sun don’t shine gaps that worry me - baseline capacity in Feb/March when North Sea can have surprisingly little wind. And a parallel back up of gas/fossil (sourced/stored from where?) I’d just be happier with a few more sizewells around
Didn’t someone steal a vast amount of cheese fairly recently www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024... may well be more stable than many currencies at the moment 🙈
Is that who are listed as slaves? I always wondered why Geoffrey had slaves listed opendomesday.org/place/SK7519... and the horror that melton must have been the most interesting place in Leicestershire 🙈
