I hear fears about the interaction of LLMs and the sciences. People worry how the sciences will change. One challenge with discussing this is that it's hard to describe *how the sciences work now.*

@davidlowryduda@mathstodon.xyz but that doesn't mean we should not discuss it, especially with the input of scientists working in the individual fields. Breaking big, complex questions down into manageable chunks is a good bit of what scientists do. LLM usage is going to affect scientific training, practice,and innovation in many ways across different sciences. (Assuming we don't run out of water, energy, and actual societal support for science at all. 😛 Or a society at all, tbh.)
