I've interacting seriously with the US healthcare system. It's frankly insane to say an LLM is your child's primary pediatrician.

Sure I agree with all of that. "We've made progress" is not what comes to mind when I read "we're just coming out of the wild west."

But technology isn't improving the success rate. And the marginal project is already expected to be unprofitable. Pharma is a hits driven business and the hits are getting simultaneously more expensive to produce, harder to find, and

The alternative is "have a complete mechanistic understanding of biology." People are definitely working on it, but we are nowhere close to as complete an understanding as we need. The evidence for precisely this claim is in the f

...? So the claim is that we're out of the wild west because there's a set of things we've made advancements on, despite drug development getting harder and harder?

You can go make literally a trillion dollars if you can come up with an alternative.

> For modern medicine, we're only just starting to come out of the wild west era. Or perhaps slightly further along than that. Why do you say that? What's the evidence? We continue to have virtually no clue how to make drugs, p

Not really an alternative if you can't predict who those candidates are prior to spending a hundred million dollars putting the drug into a broader group of people and then retroactively saying "oh wait now we can 'identify&#

Quite funny given that the people in question here tend to be directly opposed to postmodernist views like this one.

I don't know what point you keep trying to make about Musk winning a defamation suit in the US lol. It's virtually impossible to successfully sue someone for defamation here. The outcome of a defamation suit has quite literally ze

Who said anything about a home biolab? Are you thinking a possible solution is just to block the terrorists, irresponsible corporations, or evil governments from LLMs? Obviously not. In any case, the "home biolab" required to do

So your argument is that: 1. Musk calling him "pedo boy" isn't Musk actually calling him a pedophile, and there's nothing wrong with a grown man using insults (against an aid worker risking his own life to save children)

No, the source of the misapprehension is that you are ignoring how easy it is to source the input components and combine them into a bioweapon these days. Correct, there is a small number of people who have been able to do it at high cost f

Such highly-public but deniable signals of support are actually a very, very common tactic of extremist movements. But at the end of the day you know what you saw. Reflects very poorly.

And after Musk publicly apologized, he sent an email to Buzzfeed accusing the rescuer of being a child rapist and moving to Thailand to take a 12 year old bride. Please continue your defense.

Does every serious HS comp sci textbook give aspiring software engineers the same power that e.g. Claude Code does?

Months after he apologized for the initial false "pedo" claim, Musk claimed in an email to Buzzfeed that Unsworth (the rescue diver) was "a child rapist" who "moved to Chiang Rai for a child bride who was 12 years o

Probably because the cost of blocking "is mitochondria the powerhouse of the cell" is nearly zero, while the cost of allowing "how do I synthesize the Spanish flu" is approximately infinite.

Haha nothing funnier than grown adults (??) who are so infatuated with big wockets that they seem to forget basic concepts like "moral character" if there are big wockets anywhere in the vicinity. So smart.

What's authentic/"not phony" about literally making shit up about another person? I'm genuinely confused so please explain step by step. Do you think everyone around you is just brimming with unevidenced allegations

It seems highly possible, and in fact vastly more possible than the "no monitoring" situation, that there was some non-zero amount of monitoring and that the real behavior was not evident from that monitoring.

You're right about where it was running (misread the original OAI release). > Obviously by then it already “decided” to hack HF, that’s why it needed network access. That's not obvious at all. It "decided" it needed t

Does this techno-optimist logic apply to all technologies, e.g. glyphosate or oxycontin, or only to technologies that you first presume are safe/positive, and then you can just argue from that presumption?

Huh? Very few people in 2014 were addicted to fentanyl. It was a non-issue. No reason for anyone to have been concerned about it if just "some" people were using it. Degrees or amounts is actually not the relevant bit in either th
