Will AI deliver us cures for cancer? Will it show us how to reverse the biology of aging?
AI proponents/advocates/fan boys think the answer is 'Yes' to those questions. Still, as Vox notes, AI is trained on historically human derived data and concepts which can range from great to downright awful.
AI will be successful in the scientific and medical realms when the insights it generates stem from valid first principles AND all the edge cases and modifiers are addressed and dealt with successfully. It is a tall order. It may be up to it. We will see!!
Seems this'll overlap strongly with Sigma Game subject matter. Like who runs the institutions and for what purpose. If the 80% of the universities and colleges were abolished then where will all the women go?
Looking forward to reading. During my time as a Technology Asset Manager all papers had to be cleared thru my office before they could be presented or published, Killed one paper, authors so excited by their work product failed to get permission and submitted an abstract that was accepted at a major international conference. After the acceptance their manager directed them to my office for clearance. They expected a rubber stamp of approval as it was a very important, timely, and significant paper. True, it was. Unfortunately for them, the company spent over $50 million to acquire that knowledge. Put us ahead of the competition that we knew they were fighting that same issue. Couldn’t give it to the competition for free. Let them spend their own money and more importantly time. We got there first. The authors were royally pissed, they complained all the way up their chain until it came to the top. Told top why permission to present was refused and was thanked for doing so. End of issue. As they were already accepted for a presentation a milk toast substitute was given.
Hail Vox, thank for the like. My efforts as TAM earned me the appellation of that FAH, my response was Meh. Normally the papers were of the don’t care type, technical ego strutting, occasionally asked to remove trade secret or bury or delay potentially time sensitive material. Another generally unknown aspect of funding outside research is the strings that go with it. We funded a lot of engineering research. Just our operation funded easily $20plus million in 90s dollars. Simple rule: we pay, you own but we get a world wide perpetual royalty free license to practice and royalty free sublicense rights for products specific to our business’s. Any improvements were ours alone. Those rights to sublicense improvements shall not be hindered by the underlying IP. New university smart boi leadership decided they wanted everything. They were not willing to negotiate. So they got zero going forward. Money talks. Sadly a lot of grad students lost opportunities due their leaderships greed. Other universities were not so unreasonable.
Also, if we didn’t like the results of the research we could request they not publish. They could, but then no more money. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Again money talks.
I complained about AI spitting out useless data if you're seeking something unconventional, couple days later, "here stupid." Vox releases a book. 3 hours into the audiobook and you're referring studies I've known about for a while and saying everything I've understood but couldn't explain. I've been waiting for this. Thanks.
"Suspected" that "Trust the Science (TM)" was a mantra for the insane? 😆 Since the Covid craze, this should be blatantly obvious to any discerning individual with an above-room-temperature IQ.
OK, preaching to the choir here, but feels good to vent.
All kidding aside, I'm very curious about the book. Congratulations on another release in what is quite an impressive, groundbreaking run.
This looks good. I had no interest in the evolution stuff because the simple argument (not enough time has passed for the changes to have occurred) convinced me.
This looks like I'll be able to take away terms to more accurately describe how Ricardo is being a Retardo. I've always know that hypothetical Dr. Frank was being a fag when he attempted to vomit nonsense, but having better terms helps to mock them.
"the credentialism, the consensus enforcement, the systematic preference for orthodox nonsense over heterodox reality."
If you think the science-ers reviewing the work are bad, wait until you see the data gathering ones. I have yet to see an honest sampling effort that didn't include at least a bit of data fudging, faking, or mere careless mistakes.
I’m completely opposed to Amazon’s bullshit license model they now have. I only buy them to support Vox’s work and boost the rankings. It surprises me that there isn’t more demand from this crowd for ebooks outside of Amazon’s ecosystem, but it is what it is. I’ll buy the leather as well.
It's a little disappointing, but the huge size of the KU subscriber base makes it inevitable. People like convenience, good deals, and they are creatures of habit. You can't fight the market.

Congrats on another earth-shaker, Vox!

Always remember the Gate Keeper.

Gate keeping was interesting.
The discussion of the weaknesses of LLM due to their varying design is essential reading.
Is there a way to buy this as a physical book?
There will be. We always do ebook first so we can do a few rounds of typo cleanup and make sure no major changes are necessary before going to print.
Apropos of the order of magnitude difference between Humans and Chimps:

I know we're not supposed to ask why, but I wonder why God made them with ears, because they never listen.
They frequently hear what they want to hear. Cognitive "selective hearing" seem very much like gamma and feminine traits.
Great video.

There are still a few neighborhood "In This House" signs I wish to run over with my car. But it's simply not worth the car repair or legal trouble.
You mean, "in this house we believe science is real, love is love..." etc. -- all that goody-two-shoes, brainwashed-NPC nonsense?
Those people are a reminder of some timeless wisdom: God forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.
The higher part of me feels compassion, but my ego feels quite a bit of contempt for these lost souls, TBH.
That's the very sign I was referring to.
Congratulations!
Looks fantastic and timely indeed.
Looking forward to it.
The institutional corruption runs deep.

Grabbed my “copy” a few minutes ago.
As per usual I'm waiting on the leather, but I might grab the audio book if one comes out before then.
