It was an honor to work among such inspired and compassionate scientists. Thanks for supporting my curiosity!
On June 7th, this year’s interns, Bonnie Chi and Garrett Shaw, both from Diablo Valley College (DVC), completed their research internships and presented their work to an audience of SETI Institute scientists and incoming REU summer interns.

I don’t even know how this could be presented as being in service of anything other than hindering scientific progress.

It’s just the latest “Orwellian” crackdown on government scientists.

I honestly believe all LLM results should come with a disclaimer reminding people that the thing doesn’t (and absolutely cannot) know any facts or do any reasoning; it is simply designed to *sound* like it knows facts and frequently sweeps some up accidentally in the process.
I really think many if not most of the LLM fail cases are people trying to use it as a search engine. It is the opposite of a search engine.
