  • Sci-hub has been an invaluable resource. I posted a question yesterday at work. There was a queue, and it was time to leave, so I’ll see what the result was when I get over there. I’ve avoided using AI, but this was too tempting. My question was in a area where I have some knowledge, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to spot any problems in the reply.

    I’ll keep the hallucinations for myself, tyvm.

    Per sci-hub.ru this has been available since March 6th.

    "Hear the good news: recent advances in artificial intelligence enabled Sci-Hub to launch a robot that gives scientifically-grounded responses to questions. The robot starts with searching for relevant literature in Sci-Hub database, then turns to selecting and reading most recent studies, and composes the answer based on this information. The answer includes all the references, and each referenced article can be read on Sci-Hub with one click.

    Unlike question-answering robots that were based upon the early generation of neural networks, Sci-Hub bot does not hallucinate and is not making up scientific facts and does not cite sources that do not exist. To support its statements, Sci-Bot uses articles from Sci-Hub database. Questions can be asked in any language, and answers can be saved on server and shared.

    The alpha version only supports answerig one question, and a more advanced variation that supports conversation mode is coming soon. Right column displays example questions that has been answered by robot - push the question to see the generated answer."







  • Get the shot, don’t be a fool like Fischer. It’s not only about protecting you; it’s also about protecting the people around you from adverse consequences. Viral infection don’t just cause short term effects, there are a host of long-term issues that can show up with nearly every (only being cautious with my wording here) infection. SARS-CoV-2 - even a mild infection carries with it 3 months of increased cardiovascular risk, a year of decreased cognitive function. Similarly with influenza, RSV, CMV, etc, etc. Get the shot, wash your hands, wear a mask, and encourage those you know and care about to do the same. Some of what we have thought of as “normal aging” is in fact long-term effects from infectious disease. You are gonna age, you are gonna die, but why would anyone want to speed up the process of degradation?
