An AI for humanity – Real World Data Science Public funding is needed for an ‘AI for humanity’ project, modelled on the Human Genome Project, argues Martin Goodson. How else can we ensure the benefits of AI are spread widely and not concentrated in the hands of technology companies?

Great to hear @rory-stewart.bsky.social advocating for publicly funded LLM. He's two years behind me but better late than never: realworlddatascience.net/the-pulse/po...

Changing conspiracy theory beliefs is very hard, but a replicated finding shows a short chat with GPT-4 changes people’s belief in conspiracy theories for the long term.

Why? It isn’t rhetorical tricks, it's that AI provides relevant facts and evidence tailored to each person's specific beliefs.

OpenAI launched a new benchmark based on real-world software engineering tasks from Upwork

Scores are awarded monetarily, by how much an AI could theoretically earn

And Sonnet is currently the top model. Bold.

Erm, the rate of innovation is already a derivative. Can't you just look at that?

Well, based on actual words, she claims 'We are not any closer to genomics truly impacting our lives'. That is demonstrably false, arguments from authority notwithstanding.

Are we talking about genomics or "personalised" medicine? Those are two distinct areas. mRNA vaccines are clearly a major advance that wouldn't be possible without genomics. It's far too early to write them off, as you appear to be doing.

An update on mRNA cancer vaccines Advances in vaccine technology are now being applied to cancers.

Your comment is misinformed: 'My personal view is that mRNA vaccines will become part of standard of care in years to come, representing a completely new therapeutic modality.' www.rcpath.org/resource-rep...

Genomics hasn't impacted our lives? My mRNA vaccine definitely impacted mine.

One of the funniest parts about this story rn is that Deepseek probably trained their model on the output of OpenAI's models. Extreme schadenfreude watching a company built on theft have their IP stolen, improved, then given away for free.

Maybe use a different model to find out about Tiananmen Square. Or look it up in Wikipedia or something.

Musk Exploring Blockchain Use in US Government Efficiency Effort Elon Musk has initiated conversations about using blockchain technology at the new Department of Government Efficiency, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. It’s the latest sign of t...

What could contribute more to government efficiency than by securing lucrative contracts for your crypto donors to implement inefficient technology that is uniquely suited to solving problems you don’t have?

Pacific palisades after the fires

Pacific palisades after the fires

How would the US government respond to this level of devastation if it were caused by a terrorist organisation? Decades of war and trillions of dollars spent?

But since it was just caused by climate change, not so much.

I've never read anything by Melanie Mitchell I didn't like but this, on the recent breakthrough by OpenAI, is particularly good.
