www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u... absolutely sickening, such a painful read. LLMs could be powerful tools for science, but should never have been trained to interact with people like it is a friend. In a loneliness pandemic can you really expect people to resist this emotional junk food?

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

Earlier this year, HHS secretary RFK Jr. predicted that, "By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we'll be able to eliminate those exposures." Scientists have been researc

Not sure how many scientists here have tried Claude Code or similar command line coding assistants. I had a complicated family property tax problem that was best solved by a brute force Monte Carlo simulation approach, so I spent a few days coding up and analyzing a model with Claude Code.

SPIDR enables multiplexed mapping of RNA-protein interactions and uncovers a mechanism for selective translational suppression upon cell stress

SPIDR, a massively multiplexed method that simultaneously maps dozens of RNA-binding proteins to their RNA targets at single-nucleotide resolution, uncovers new RNA-protein interactions and provides c...

"It is not just that LLM’s fail to induce proper world models of chess. It’s that they never induce proper worlds of anything. Everything that they do is through mimicry, rather than abstracted cognition across proper world models." garymarcus.substack.com/p/generative...

Generative AI’s crippling and widespread failure to induce robust models of the world

LLM failures to reason, as documented in Apple’s Illusion of Thinking paper, are really only part of a much deeper problem
