People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random. Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea

News flash: Ethics and Safety for chat-based LLMs DO NOT translate to LLM-based Agents. Ffs people. Think.

“The ends justify the means” And “Even if you wanted to, you can’t stop us” (2024-2025)

The problem with NuerIPS is that it’s cold and full of nerds.

Chain of Thought helped LLMs reason forward through problems.
