Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.

Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.

Researchers employed a specialized brain imaging technique to identify a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for Long COVID. More than four years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, scien...

Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Time could become a citeable paper that is listed on Arxiv.org with a DOI number!!

If you have papers on Arxiv, you could help that to happen.

Endorse me on Arxiv, using the following code: QTKMWK

whether deliberate or unintentional, the people who want you to treat AI systems as human-like fully autonomous "agents" are simply laundering responsibility and accountability away from those who choose to monetize these systems onto the artifacts that can’t know responsibility or accountability

LLMs are unbounded, but weighted string generators. The universe of possible strings is infinite and thus the number of *possible* errors is also infinite, and adjusting weights or pre-prompting the model simply make some errors more or less likely.

K. Chen @tznkai.bsky.social · May 21

I find this essay compelling and one big takeaway is all LLM production is a hallucination and understanding the risk of error is essentially impossible because the set of errors is unbounded.

I wrote a new essay about AI.

This time I'm writing about "The Hallucination Problem"—what it is, why it is, and what there is to be done about it. As usual for my writing on this topic, it's long, but here are the CliffsNotes.

What would you think if I told you that this 🦠 🌱🌿🌻🌲 is a finite automaton that can also be used to program logic circuits just like in Conway’s Game Of Life?
