Astrophysicist. Quasar enthusiast. Physics professor. Mother, etc. Misanthrope who loves humanity. Why can’t we get this thing right?
Yes! I didn’t expect how mentally challenging it would be. Like my brain is working as hard as my body especially when doing a new exercise.

Back in the day, this kind of thing would get one excommunicated 🤦‍♀️

I prefer “computers pretending to be people” to LLMs 😁

Though, what would i give for 15 weeks? We've got these intense 12-week semesters (not quarters!) which in prinicple must cover the same syllabus material as in 15 weeks.

No. The chief problem is, AI is literally A TOOL FOR UNLEARNING. The more you use it, the worse you get at whatever it is you’re using it for. It’s the opposite of educating, it’s uneducating. 2/2

This “big important man” 🙄 can’t handle being in a working relationship with a woman. Sad and pathetic.

Yeah, this part makes me the craziest. My brain is my favorite thing about me. Why would I intentionally trade it for a ridiculous substitute?

That’s before I reckon with the ethics of using a thing for ghost efficiency that is pretty societally devastating.

And on a final personal note, I don’t want to become stupid before my time. I really don’t. I will keep mucking about so that I can keep mucking about, for as long as possible.

It has been gut wrenching.
