That will end very, very badly. Hallucinating phase 3 trials will have incredibly bad outcomes.

The Washington Post had a feature on Sunday where they tested the top 5 AIs in a variety of reading comprehension tests (literary, legal, political, etc.) and then graded them. The best got a D+ (69.9 %) and the rest all failed. Gemini and Copilot were at the bottom (in the 40% range for accuracy). ChatGPT and Claude were at the top with D+s. Only Claude didn’t hallucinate answers.

sorry, probably behind a paywall.

“FDA to go the way of FAA.”
That’s the correct headline NYT.

This is my point about using ChatGPT for homework. It could save time on rough drafts but if a student tries to use it for anything past that, they are doomed to failure.

D+? Your school was more generous than mine, 66-69 would’ve been D-, 65 was F

I guarantee if they tested them against the way language is used in academic papers they would score much worse and hallucinate way more. Yeah, this is gonna be disastrous, but may well lead to “do your own research” being a serious bit of advice, 'cause you can’t trust the official positions.

One faked citation in a final term paper or project was enough for a zero where I went to college.

It’s completely ridiculous. Are they expecting everyday folks to set up their own clinical trials? All they’re really saying is “give this woo the same weight of evidence as the peer reviewed studies actual scientists do”. He’s a fucking disingenuous idiot.

I wonder how this compares to 1992 or 1968 (aka, the other times the National Guard was sent in). I would bet it’s not even close – I bet even that red circle is being generous.
I remember what April/May 1992 was like. Watching the unfolding protests in LA over the past few days is nothing like that.

From Reddit. Protests in Seattle are blocking entrances and exits to the federal building by piling up e-bikes and e-scooters.
Seems like win-win to me.

ICE very much are, in multiple ways, setting the stage for impersonators, and I really hope it comes to bite them in the ass. Right now the impersonators are just a problem for everyone else.
Yeah, some unidentified masked men coming out of an unmarked vehicle, grabbing someone and shuffling them off to who knows where, where the taken can’t communicate with their families and the government doesn’t necessarily even acknowledge they have them… as a bystander you’d never know, because even the friends and family of the taken might not know for quite some time (if ever).
Wait, so there are going to be rallies even in countries that have actual kings? Bold.
