Mistakes

dynomight · ·

Like many humans, I often make mistakes. When people point them out, I edit the text to fix them. But I feel like this doesn’t give the mistakes the attention they deserve. So I’ve tried to start keeping a log of significant factual mistakes/correction.

If you are listed here and for some reason don’t want to be acknowledged, just let me know.

2026-07-31 My post on plants and CO₂ incorrectly stated as a fact that CO₂ levels are known to cause cognitive problems. But it’s not at all clear this is true. (thanks: papetoast)

2026-07-30 My post on pseudpocalypse stated that LLMs are only good at what they are trained at. This overstates the idea of a jagged frontier. (thanks: Helen.ix)
