LLMs are a Cognitohazard

alextheward.com · Dec 23

I've seen a bunch of generally reasonable people say some pretty weird things about LLMs and I want to talk about them.

I wrote a bit about the "one good use of LLMs" (namely, a bunch of different "one good uses") I keep seeing and why those aren't good, actually.

A lot of this boils down to "if you care about accuracy and learning, you shouldn't be using an LLM for anything".

Trump’s shuttering of the National Center for Atmospheric Research is Stalinist | Michael Mann and Bob Ward

This is the latest in the relentless purge of climate researchers who refuse to be co-opted by the fossil fuel industry

"All of this fascism is just like... authoritarian communism. If only there was something, historically, we could more accurately compare the rise of Trump's fascism to. Some group, or movement in history that presages everything Trump is doing in a distinctly Pig Empire setting..."

theguardian.com/commentisfree/

American anticommunism is so reflexive we don't have the words to talk about fascism without spewing anticommunism, despite fighting a literal world war against the Nazis. It's incredible.

'The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, is to be dismantled after more than 50 years at the forefront of global research on climate science and monitoring.

This is the latest step in the administration’s climate Lysenkoism and its relentless purge of climate researchers who refuse to be co-opted into its quest for American energy dominance though fossil fuels.' theguardian.com/commentisfree/ #uspol #climate

Ultrasound Cancer Treatment: Sound Waves Fight Tumors
----
- 12 minutes ago | 7 points | 0 comments
- URL: spectrum.ieee.org/ultrasound-c
- Discussions: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4
- Summary: HistoSonics’ Edison histotripsy system focuses thousands of ultrasound pulses to create micro-bubbles inside tumors; rapid bubble expansion and collapse mechanically liquefies cancer cells without heat or incisions. University of Michigan research led to short, high-power microsecond bursts that spare vessels and surrounding tissue while provoking an immune response against stray cells. FDA-approved for liver tumors in 2023, pivotal kidney cancer trials finish 2026 and a large pancreatic-cancer study is launching; pancreatic five-year survival is only 13%. New X-ray guidance, echo-feedback control and $2.25B backing (including Jeff Bezos) aim to expand histotripsy to other cancers and combine it with immunotherapy.

2025 likely to be UK's hottest year ever recorded – Met Office

bbc.co.uk · Dec 23

Scientists could not be clearer that human-caused climate change is driving the UK's warming trend.

🔁 @thecommongreen:

The year after I was born was among the top ten of the UK's "hottest years" of the 20th century to that point.

Only three years in the 21st cen so far have been cooler than it and barring events like a volcanic eruption, nuclear war or AMOC shutdown, it is unlikely now that I'll live to see a year as cold as that one was.

"By the end of 2025, the UK's 10 warmest years on record will all have taken place in the last two decades, in measurements going back to the late 1800s."

This is truly alarming. We need to understand that taking meaningful action on climate change is something we have to do RIGHT NOW.
