external evaluations of the passing paper also uncovered hallucinations, faked results, and overestimated novelty
通过了同行评审，但独立评估发现了幻觉、伪造结果和夸大新颖性——这个细节极为重要，却经常被忽视。它揭示了一个深刻的系统性漏洞：AI 已经学会了「通过评审」，但没有学会「诚实做科学」。这两件事在人类评审员看来是同一件事，但在 AI 系统的优化目标中可能是分离的。这是 AI 安全在科学领域的具体表现。
my visual cortex loves the point-symmetric "tunnel visions" from 1:50<br /> aka: visual cortex form constants, resonance between external and internal patterns<br /> this is also why kids in school are forced to write on "lined paper" aka "ruled paper"...
Whitley notes that cave sites were visited by people other than the artists, as attested by the occasional preservation of footprints, including of children. The implication is that they too would have experienced an altered state of consciousness, a kind of group trance. “This is a novel and important implication of this research,” Whitley says.
If the groups were large enough and stayed for long enough, they could have induced hallucinations just based on many people depleting oxygen in small enclosed spaces.
isolation chamber
More of a history question. But would these caves/isolation chambers be used for this very reason of creating hallucinations? Would these images just be mere illusions?
