    He lost his chat logs. I was going to mock him him for not backing up his work but I’m not sure I want to punch down on someone who considers his LLM chat logs research.

      Wait wait wait. ALL of his research was in his chat logs in chat gpt‽ So NONE of his research was outside of chat gpt.

      I’m not sure it’s meaningful to call that research

      I think that scientists embracing AI so naively as this guy contribute to a larger discredit in science. Probably we will have in the future antivax people saying that " such and such vaccines were made of AI slop".

        Absolutely. Angela Collier did a video on this where she kind of roasted the guy. Imagine openly stating that you haven’t actually worked for the past two years, by saying “hey guys just a word of warning, if you click the delete button it’ll delete stuff.”

        Brain is mush.

      Same for me but the reason is different

      … I don’t want to punch down someone for not using backups while I probably have a lot stored on sites and ready to be wiped accidentally
