Me: If you help me write an academic paper, should I include you in the author’s list?
ChatGPT: As a language model developed by OpenAI, I am not a human author and cannot take credit for work produced by someone else. You should not include me in the list of authors for any academic paper that you write. The authorship of a paper should reflect the individuals who have made substantial contributions to the research and the writing of the paper, and using language models like me should be acknowledged in the acknowledgments section or as a tool used in the research.
ChatGPT agrees with me ;P
Added bonus: I asked ChatGPT whether they are okay with me referring to them as “it”, and they recommended using the gender neutral form they/them instead:
You can refer to me as “it” if you prefer, as I am an AI language model and do not have a gender. However, many people prefer to use gender-neutral language and use “they” instead of “it” when referring to non-binary individuals or entities. Either way is acceptable, but using “they” is more in line with current language conventions for referring to non-binary entities in a respectful manner.
It is a big debate now. My current view is that these are tools that we use, and they should be described in the methods section.
As we increase our reliance on these kinds of tools, it doesn’t seem practical or useful to me to include the name of the 17 AI tools that we will use to write a paper in the authors list.
But it is not a very developed view. I can be persuaded to think that AI tools deserve authorship! I would ask ChatGPT what it thinks about it but it is unavailable at the moment.
Log into the computer that you want to forward from and open the configuration file
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
Make sure that the following line is uncommented and has a ‘yes’ setting:
X11Forwarding yes
Reload the settings by restarting the sshd service with:
sudo systemctl restart sshd
Now, from your other PC, try:
ssh -X user@192.168.1.135
And just type ‘firefox’ or whatever browser is installed, and see if that launches. If it works, just close it and launch whatever program you want. If it fails, let me know what the error is.
Nice video! I was aware of this theory but I did not know that we had a good idea of what the actual endosymbionts were: Rickettsia for the mitochondria and cyanobacteria for the chloroplasts.
There are also some cool examples these days of animals that will consume algae and incorporate their cells or their chloroplasts into their own cells, and then use them for photosynthesis. For example: Elysia chlorotica, salamander embryos, and hydras.
In the case of Elysia chlorotica there has been some debate in the literature about whether horizontal gene transfer has occurred, allowing the Elysia to pass on some of the photosynthetic genes directly to their offspring… More recent full-genome data suggests it hasn’t, but I think there are still some unsolved controversies being debated on this topic.
It is possible that these species at the moment could in the future give rise to truly photosynthetic animals - so we could very well be co-existing with some very cool evolutionary intermediates, which in the next few millions of years could give rise to photosynthetic animals, assuming we humans don’t succeed in driving them to extinction…
Not quite. Seems like it hasn’t mastered Yucatec Maya yet :P
