WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

the reporting on this stuff is a form of pareidolia. all this is explicable by a set of automatons stochastically exploring a state space and host environment with whatever predictive capacity an LLM affords them. absolutely no intent is required, they do not "know" what they are doing
It is a huge shame to see so much language attributing agency, intent and thought to a software program, when all that should be attributed to the humans who designed a dangerously clumsy and broken looping LLM.

Have you ever tried to read a scientific journal article and been told “you don’t have access, pay to download this article?”
Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay?
Instead, you can email the author and ask for a free copy! I’d be delighted to help and answer questions!

Eugenics=white supremacy + ableism
That may feel obvious, but we need to understand that within those who talk about better humans is someone who believes in the inherent superiority of whiteness in learning, thinking & behavior. They've now captured the government & tech to institute their beliefs

Eliezer Yudkowsky - who, again, is immensely influential among the leaders of big AI companies and the US tech policy ecosystem that his rich fans have all but taken over - seems to think the only way to stop the AI apocalypse is doing straight-up eugenics to make “smarter people.”
