A new genre of self-canceling scientific paper: Papers in this genre argue that LLMs can improve scientific research but they contain LLM-generated errors.

This feels like the future we were promised!
The Jetson ONE personal air vehicle costs $128K. You can fly it without a pilot license after a quick 5-day training course. Needs an $8,000 deposit. comes with backup batteries, a ballistic parachute, and radar that handles auto-landing. https://t.co/Kms0zhJ6NC

The first research paper from my happy home @southpkcommons! Bravo Kushal and Nirmal!
Language models hallucinate despite scaling to trillions of parameters and tokens. You reduce portfolio risk by diversifying stocks. So we asked: What if you could diversify your LLM's neurons? Spoiler alert: Neurodiversity reduces hallucination by up to 26% (15% avg). [🧵1/4]

It's such a treat to go to recreational mathematics conferences like these. @sioroberts thank you for taking us along for the ride in today's @nytimes. I especially like the hinged tesselation. https://t.co/TTXr3Vge5O

At the annual Bridges conference, mathematical creativity was on dazzling display.

The hot mic moment at the end is the most revealing moment. @hknightsf what was the context of this interview? Did Benioff's PR handler give you guardrails? I'm amazed at how revealing this is. The veil is fully removed. https://t.co/WVoNQxy8jF

Mr. Benioff, the Salesforce C.E.O. and owner of Time magazine, once supported Hillary Clinton and a business tax for homeless services. Now he’s fully behind Donald Trump.

We had a wonderful talk today by @jeffclune at the #AI4Science seminar! I am convinced. Open-ended learning is the future of AI. See if you're convinced! https://t.co/fELPDCgFsh

Thank you @Kilo_Code for joining us @southpkcommons for our vibe-coding session! That was very informative. TIL: You can orchestrate execution of a long multi-phase spec in Kilo Code without having to manually refresh to avoid context rot. Nice! https://t.co/iBdNuAifMJ

If you're in Cambridge, MA this Thursday, I highly recommend the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony. In these dark times for science, we need your support. Show up, holler, have fun, remind the world how cool science is. https://t.co/FRpXdyr5pQ
