For years, my Gram's answering machine message was one of the last recordings of my Gramp before he died. I used to love leaving messages, just to hear his voice. AT&T updated their voice messaging system out of the blue. It was gone, fully 20+ years later.

I strongly disagree with dismissing people from a practice for too many missed appts. Bad behavior? Sure. Missed appts? There are too many social reasons for this that are outside of the patientâs control.

"For it is AI that has given the American ruling class the final impetus to more or less abolish education. [...] For the first time in centuries, the elite no longer feel they need educated workers and soldiers to uphold and reproduce the system."

Had a similar experience. Widely cited claim, including on many university websites. Traced it back though all the literature to a very weak finding in a paper 50 yrs ago and not ever replicated. Definitely made me more cautious of claims I see

Your job as an expert - especially an academic expert - is to not only read the paper but to know enough about the field, the authors, and the current blood feuds to catch whatever shady subtext is happening in that paper

One of my most formative experiences in academic medicine was chasing down a citation. I wanted to cite a reassurance I heard in residency that a 1cm dural exposure over the ear was okay. I found it--it was from a book chapter without any experimental evidence. The experience rewired my brain.

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research: theyâve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesnât actually save them time.

Anyway my ancestors were illiterate drunksâpeasants, petty criminals, undocumented migrants, and people leading desperate, dishonorable lives of pain and struggle. The promise of the American idea, if not the American reality, is precisely that for my rights and dignity, this should not matter.

As with public schools, the nice thing about standardized vaccines is they take some of the burden off overtaxed and underfunded parents. Making every aspect of childhood a bespoke experience that the mother has to figure out on her own isn't "choice." It's piling on duties that some can't handle.

I will add the following: our students lack the research skills required to audit an LLM essay for errors. They donât arrive on campus with these skills; we teach it to them over four long years. So throwing freshmen in the deep end and saying âswim your way to a shore of rectitudeâ is folly.

I've liked the idea of figuring out how AI is wrong, but these are some excellent counterarguments. It's the same reason I discourage my residents from using it for their research work. They don't yet have the skills.

I wonder how many employers might actually refuse to hire the post-ChatGPT generation or they might end up fired because they cant do the things their degrees say they can do Id be very angry with universities for hyping gAI the way they have, if I was a student or parent, tbh.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

Citation is power. Citation is epistemology. Citation is the creation of legitimacy and the gifting of authority. Some things should not be given currency in our disciplines.
