Absolutely fascinating first session talks at #TDC23 conference. Particularly Andrew taking about cosmology and simulation and particularly his rebuttal of the idea that we live in one. I’ve bought his book The Universe in a Box.

‘In the context of LLMs, “hallucination” refers to a phenomenon where the model generates text that is incorrect, nonsensical, or not real.’
