Gen AI used by scientists looks a lot different than LLMs and image generators. Smaller, cheaper, focused and cleverly mixed up with experimental techniques. I call it Wet AI. (Thank you to my wonderful editors, @janemetcalfe and @JasonBardi) proto.life/2023/11/perspe…
I explained the case for why AI can't be conscious in this convo with Alex Murshak. Most of the leading theories of consciousness are incompatible with physics. They violate locality in time and space, and require extrinsic computation that must solve vast NP-complete problems.…

In #Barcelona for the #scienceofconsciousness conference listening to my friend @aneilbaboo present his contention that #AIConsciousness is not physically possible. @lindaavey
some scientists are now hiding AI prompts in papers that instruct potential AI "peer" reviewers to accept the paper 😂
TRUMP ADMITS SPHERICAL UFOs EXIST: How is this not the story of the week? Maybe the decade? Interview from Sept. 2024: youtu.be/tNGBB52inSk (It’s extremely unlikely that China, Russia or Iran - or any other adversary - has spherical objects that can outmaneuver an F-22…)
What a mind-blowing week for AI in biology! 🚀 Xaira just dropped the largest genome-wide perturbation dataset ever last week 🧬 Arc unveiled STATE yesterday, the most powerful foundation model for single-cell perturbation prediction 🧠 DeepMind followed up with AlphaGenome,…
"Only 2% of [public] companies [over the last century] were responsible for more than 90% of the aggregate net wealth creation." Long term public market investing = venture capital investing, whether you like it or not! HT @mjmauboussin
Adding just 1 year to the global life expectancy by slowing aging could add $38 trillion to the economy (Harvard & Oxford). Why? People stay healthy, they keep earning and spending...
Could everyone just take a moment and ask ChatGPT why the Mullahs came to power?
Hinton is right about the endless opportunity for AI in healthcare. It will reduce employment in that sector too, but we should welcome it. Healthcare is the textbook case of Baumol's cost disease.
Geoffrey Hinton says the best-case future is a “symbiosis between people and AI” -- where machines handle the mundane, and humans live more interesting lives. But in the kind of society we have now, he warns, AI won't free most people. It will concentrate power, and discard the…
Thanks Michael Interesting story. Bear with me. In 1994 Roger Penrose and I were working on our Orch OR theory but weren’t close to a manuscript though we’d talked about it at conferences and on PSYCHE-D, an online discussion group on the fairly new internet. We got a message…
I am shocked that people take colchicine for medical conditions. We've used it in the lab, to very strongly perturb cells in vitro: "colchicine is an anti-mitotic drug that disrupts cytoskeletal functions by inhibiting β-tubulin polymerization into microtubules." Shouldn't this…
Add to this the fact that the top people in these institutions know nothing about any of this and have testified this under oath to Congress. This begs the question: who is in charge of all this and where do they get their funding and authority? Even if you believe its all…
A must read thread,
BREAKING: Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well. Here's what Apple discovered: (hint: we're not as close to AGI as the hype suggests)
The Sol Foundation and our sibling organizations are instigating a new effort to pass the UAP Disclosure Act (“UAPDA”), and we’re asking each of you to consider signing this petition in support of it: thesolfoundation.org/2025-petition/ This groundbreaking 2023 legislation was never passed…
🔥 Google I/O 2025 was an absolute AI overload and everyone is still picking up jaws off the floor. Here’s the TL;DR of the madness:
Regeneron acquires @23andMe. So all the data end up in the hands of one pharma company. Not the outcome we envisioned but could have been worse (eg PE). globenewswire.com/news-release/2…
