when i saw this i thought anthropic was recruiting trainers for ping pong

[David A. Simon @david__simon]

@r_tallarita Same. It seems doubtful that AI works the same as a human brain given its training and development, but since we know very little about how the brain works, it is possible.

[David A. Simon @david__simon]

The evidence for some kind of attack is based on patients who have documented brain injuries. The fact that we can’t explain how they occurred means only that we don’t know the precise mechanism. But the injuries are real

The RAPID program’s attempt to unify reimbursement and authorization decisions for devices with clinical trial data is laudable. However, it presents several concerns for patients, public health, and taxpayers. | Forefront

HHS recently announced it intended to start a new program, RAPID, to attempt to harmonize some authorization and reimbursement decisions for certain medical devices. We describe the program, its potential, and its challenges here:

I'm all jazzed up. Get ready for my next substack--called AI's Reductio

@mollyxbrady @WilliamBaude You can tell it this, but then it will do it and say "oops, i did it again" and "I can't tell you why"

[David A. Simon @david__simon]

@WilliamBaude can i ask what you gave it access to? did you set any parameters for what it could access/do?

when i was interested in becoming an academic, a senior academic told me reading a paper is a serious investment of time. and he was right. asking someone to read a paper means the reader assumes a level of effort orders of magnitude larger than the reading.

[David A. Simon @david__simon]

AI writing is so obvious. Do people either think that no one will notice or not care? I find it very hard to want to read someone's AI-generated article. I have no idea what they did or whether they've invested enough in it for me to spend the time reading it.

[David A. Simon @david__simon]

Maybe we could just disclose our pangram scores on the front of the paper. could save a lot of wasted time.

@shea_tvance @chronicle Yes a business professor said this. Very on brand

[David A. Simon @david__simon]

For the summers who had offers with Weil, couldn't the departing partners in practice groups have offered to take them with? Did any?

[David A. Simon @david__simon]

@lexlanham Wow - not good!

Only FDA nerds will realize what’s wrong with this headline—here unintentional. But confusion about what fda does and doesn’t do abounds
