AI in IVF could be “awesome, or terrifying.”

Randomized trials show AI tools picking embryos almost as well as humans—but 10x faster. But who will control the algorithm?

Psychology is an administrative vocabulary masquerading as a natural science, and the most damning evidence is that the discipline best equipped to rescue it is quietly declining to speak its language. Thoughts?

The claim is rather extraordinary:
existence of writing during the Middle Paleolithic.

The claim is based on statistical analysis.
Now, "more than 3,000 characters on 260 objects" means an average of just 12 characters per object, but the BBC article doesn't mention even the range of character counts per object, never mind the variance.

I regard #writing an important step in finding holes and inconsistencies in my own thinking;
The process of outputting the text forces me to confront the reality of my thought as an external. Symbolising the thought solidifies what it means in a common context.

Denying oneself the self-reflection that producing text provides, is thus a reduction in capability, and can provide dangerous mechanisms of political influence.

People will readily to accept that ”they think as the #chatbot suggests”

I'm somewhat in despair at the number of blog posts and articles which are becoming increasingly sterilely perfect. People are using LLMs more and more, sometimes declaring it and sometimes not, and the English language is visibly shrinking as a direct consequence.
