i dunno i feel like it's more complicated than that

Every time I see that last pic, I have to note that the funniest line is the one immediately after the highlight

It's very interesting how big of a revolution will LLMs cause (and are already causing) in genetics and bioengineering since DNA and proteins are, for all intent and purposes, really really long words

You can, very literally, fit the entire human genome in a .txt file. It's not the most efficient way to study it but you can

It's so funny that people have such strong opinions on AI but every geneticist I meet is like "oh god finally. This thing does all the work for me. We will find the catgirl gene soon"

And no this isn't just the specialized models like alphafold. You can ask Claude or Deepseek to make pipelines and bioinformatics stuff for you and they work.

A good chunk of AI and LLM research actually comes directly from bioinformatics research. To find the catgirl gene.

I don't think they're raging pyschopaths or that they are deciding the fate of the world, let alone the destruction of humankind. I just think they want a lot of money and this stupid unequal (read, capitalist oligarch) economy is letting them get away with stupid things. LLMs are a great technology for research and yes, even entertainment. I just don't need them in every single thing I use and I don't need them to replace jobs that need a human touch.

They were using this tech to generate potential cancer-fighting proteins when I was in uni about a decade ago. I assume they can do it better now with modern models but I've been out of the field for a while. They'd use what we now call "generative AI" to come up with potential proteins, they'd be screened for the most viable (and actually makeable/refinable) candidates, and they'd be tested on cell culture assays to investigate their effect on cell growth.

it's truly insane how much more functional society would be and how much happier everyone would be if every job was perpetually 10% overstaffed (and people who weren't needed could chill and rotate in when needed while still getting paid) instead of 10-50% understaffed but that wouldn't be 'efficient' (in the short term, for shareholders) so fuck everyone I guess

dragons should not be just immune to fire but also tummy hurt, job, real life, and trauma damage

I'm always saying this

idk man not to sound like a cartoon hippie but if your entirrrrre blog and dash is about how the world sucks and everyones bigoted i think you are going to give yorself brain worms

"ah but all of this is important and true and if i dont reblog all of this important stuff waga baga THE WORMS! THATS WORMS! THE BRAIN WORMS!

i do not think you are doing activism chief i think what you are doing is sitting in your room flagellating yourself expecting something to happen

is it too early or can we start screaming now

in retrospect perhaps we should have started sooner

this post is the equivalent of a newspaper from the day of the outbreak being blown past by the wind after you wake up in a post apocalyptic world

The practice of fossil fuel companies knowing about and actively covering up scientific data about climate change and running disinformation campaigns to protect their bottom line is older than any existing fossil fuel company.

does anyone have a link to that one post where its like a bunch of girls in a school and I think they were doing a fortune teller bit or something but a bunch of boys go up to them with their problems and everytime they just recommend something to the effect of "have you tried crossdressing?"

what did we do to deserve portal 2. that shit was so good and for what

happy birthday to the only video game ever

Not enough cow girl images are fat. It's cows. Be fatter

I’m really enamored with the dynamic of two characters who work perfectly in tandem, like pacific rim drift compatible level, but they don’t like each other. It’s not even as strong an emotion as hate it’s just a very neutral-negative dislike, but they still act in perfect concert and their individual abilities are fully complementary

Dont ask me whats up i have done nothing since we last talked 3 years ago
