Not quite. Seems like it hasn’t mastered Yucatec Maya yet :P

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.

Yeah, it can be quite useful!

The discussion linked is not addressing whether it is suitable or not to use ChatGPT as a tool, but rather addresses whether ChatGPT should be given authorship.

It references these papers where “ChatGPT” was included in the author list:

Now that the data from the JWST is finally coming in and being processed, we are learning so many new cool details about space. This technology is amazing.

Thank you for the great work that you are doing!

This update has a lot of very neat features that I’m excited to play with!

Cool! It is also possible to achieve a similar result with midjourney, but it seems like Google’s tool gives you more control over the process.

My girlfriend sketched a ferret king for me, and then we asked midjourney to work on it. I was quite impressed with the output!

You are welcome! Yes, the less the better :-)

Ah! Cool! Good job :-)

Ah, you are right. This is the configuration I have in my arch and I am able to ssh -X without problem. Not sure what else to suggest - other than maybe trying rebooting both computers.

That looks correct

Actually, what is the output of ‘echo $DISPLAY’ when you are logged in via SSH?

On the computer that you are using to SSH from, go to

/etc/ssh/ssh_config

And also set:

ForwardX11 yes

Then try to ssh again.

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.

Avogadro 2 still has a long way to go. Too bad the original stopped being supported. Thank you for your contribution!

Up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for first time offenders of copyright infringement. Come on 🤦

That’s very cute! I prefer this version to the teletubbies one:

I’m a big fan!

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…

Thanks

Too bad! You are missing out on a delicious and healthy food!
