I told a friend about an AI hallucination where the LLM provided a scientific citation that doesn't exist. His response "soon the computer will learn to write the fake paper and post it online to provide the evidence it just falsely cited" #ai #ML #datascience #chatgpt

In 1959, Bertrand Russell stated "Love is wise; hatred is foolish" How have we been doing over the past 64 years? Have we learned "a tolerance that allows for the continuation of human life on this planet"? https://t.co/76mTaEzlTT

It is another ‘Dear Prof’ day. Dear Prof, 6 years without you feels like an eternity. We remember and honor your precious memory again this day. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very

Once in a while, I read a book that vastly opens up my world view. Ed Yong's An Immense World is amazing! Can't recommend it enough - you will gain an appreciation of the incredible capabilities that many animals have that go far beyond our own senses. Thank you @edyong209

Thank you @ChelseaClinton for sharing - as @Atayeshe stated "If every pregnant woman had access to a well-trained, caring midwife, we would be much closer to a world where every childbirth is safe" yet there is a global shortage of 900,000 midwives
The lack of investment in maternal and newborn health, as reported by @WHO, is alarming. Globally, a mother or child dies every 7 seconds from preventable or treatable causes. Access to affordable healthcare and family planning resources saves lives: https://t.co/iV86cLTJDb

Oo, first glimpses inside The Truth Detective, which is out next week! Ollie Mann has done a wonderful job bringing my ideas to life. For those asking, the book is aimed at 9-13 year olds, although I keep having to confiscate my copy from the grown-ups...
