That would nearly close the life expectancy gap between the US & other developed countries. www.statnews.com/2025/02/13/u...

When something’s not actually a thing but definitely should be

Researchers used AI to generate 288 complete academic finance papers predicting stock returns, complete with plausible theoretical frameworks & citations. Each paper looks and reads as legit. They did this to show how easy it now is to mass produce "credible" research. Academia isn't ready.

Basically think of the o3 results as validating Douglas Adams as the science fiction author most right about AI. When given longer to think, the AI can generate answers to very hard questions, but the cost is very high, it is hard to verify, & you have to make sure you ask the right question first.

A good thread by @angierasmussen.bsky.social on the recent #h5n1 cases and the question of why some people might be getting much sicker than others. It’s a good hypothesis and I wish there was more data to try and figure out if it’s right (and to answer a range of other questions).
