I wonder how do people use LLMs so it does not hallucinates. Like 90% of the time the code is impeccable, but the remaining 10%... Let's say I determine the expertise by how well do people act of these 10%. For me, the first pillar is still there, but not in a good condition

For the past 500 years humans were existing with their labor value in the very center.

Do you expect the enlightenment project to be resumed and finished in a year? Or do you imply some religion-based worldview where the value is derived from God, flesh, nature?

MD has always fascinated me, but I have always been skeptical about it. What understanding could we get from watching a complex system like a peptide evolve in time? Dissociation constant that is easier to measure than crystalize the molecule? Can we ever be sure that we have attributed all necessary quantum effects such as pi orbitals' interactions?
