So, it is Wednesday again, the Ides of March this time, and time once again for questions (which, I know, you may or may not answer). First, a housekeeping point: I am posting this comment at your original announcement about Question Time, rather than continuing the thread from your response. If there is a better place for questions (or, I suppose: Questions) please let us know.
Now, for the Question(s). Here are two that you may wish to consider:
Q1. You know, I'm sure, of the odd story that a valuable contributor to the development of the Oxford English Dictionary was institutionalized in an asylum for the criminally insane. I mention it because you and others have lamented the susceptibility of Chat GPT to "hallucinations." Should we treat Chat GPT and similar entities like the OED contributor: 'a genius! But, alas, also insane.'
Q2. You have written publicly about some of your, um, medical adventures. I still remember the stunningly casual way you revealed what would have been treated by others as a major announcement. What lessons can we learn from your experiences with vision correction, organ donation, and cancer treatment?
At the risk of being irksome, I’d like to know your thoughts on the culture war, in particular, if it’s better to ignore it than to resist it in terms of having a dynamist mindset.
