Ironically I just posted a post called "7 questions to rule them all"... I might be an igonfluencer, well but without the influence 😄.
More seriously thanks for you take, it is important to recognize where our expertise lies and where it doesn't, not misrepresenting that is essential as well as citing the original source. We might not get everything right when trying to summarize or vulgarize a topic, but the least we can do is to make it easy to be corrected.
Hahahaha just read through the post… it was pretty great! Nowhere near what I meant by igonfluencer.
Yeah, obviously everyone has been using AI to understand difficult topics but there’s so much more nuance that is being missed plus I have seen people battling out on their AI takes without considering any opposing views. And I thought I would soon be in the same bucket! This post was more of a reminder for myself 😂
As far as AI is concerned any tool if only as useful as it’s operator some of the things we are seeing we saw when the internet became accessible to us all. I remember (naively) thinking we would all be so smart cause the internet gave us all access I clearly did not understand human nature. I stand corrected. Lol Great read snd interesting take on the subject.

"..we know it's an environmental exposure...";
“An interesting fact is that Novichoks were designed to be undetectable by standard North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) chemical detection equipment (Nepovimova and Kuca 2018), so their identification is much more difficult.
For this purpose, a beneficial methodology is based on ultrasensitive detection of the Novichok nerve agent A-232 using vibrational spectroscopy...”,
“In the biggest picture, you should read this book if you want to gain Dr. Mirzayanov's unique perspective on the extent to which Soviet, and later the RF, leadership were and are politically and operationally dedicated to fighting against democracies and the very notion of democratic processes and institutions through any and all available means.”;
“..government deploys new types of chemical weapons, intended to make the rebels docile…”;
“Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons,” Putin said in an essay published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Russian government’s newspaper of record, “but will be more ‘acceptable’ in terms of political and military ideology.”;
“Long term side effects of exposure to anticholinesterases, including at levels below the threshold for profound illness and death can include paralysis and peripheral neuropathy,[19] sleep disturbance,[20] genetic mutation and cancer.[1] In total, 1,406 subjects were tested with 16 agents, some of which included reactivating agents and protective agents.[1]”;
“At this time, it was believed that adequate treatment normalized the EEG. These old

“Chronic or repeated exposures to OPs at levels that do not cause cholinergic crisis are also associated with neurotoxic outcomes in humans, including cognitive deficits, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation [57].

Phew 😌, happy not to be an Igonfluencing with that post - thanks for reading it, and for the good reminder, we can't be too thoughtful in how we post!

Yeah, pros and cons. But the AI goop all over the internet currently is quite annoying. Thank you for reading!
