I have now run enough o1 experiments with fellow academics on their hard problems in fields ranging from neurology to genetics to economics that I believe that it has genuine potential to help with science & academics should try it to see how it does for them. Even when it is off, it spurs thinking

I think firms worrying about AI hallucination should consider some questions: 1) How vital is 100% accuracy on a task? 2) How accurate is AI? 3) How accurate is the human who would do it? 4) How do you know 2 & 3? 5) How do you deal with the fact that humans are not 100%? Not all tasks are the same.

I asked the Cursor Agent to explore the structure of a word doc I loaded with Python. It tried 6 different approaches on its own. This took about a minute. Then it updated the code. It worked. 👨‍🍳
