@shrubbbz Why can't it be just as promising? This specific experiment was a proof of concept for developing antibiotics that would be harder for harmful diseases to evolve resistance against.
@tobyscript "Frontier models" weren't used for this. The phages were generated by Evo 2, a model that uses the same principles as LLMs but was trained on DNA sequences instead of natural language.
While built on similar technology to ChatGPT etc., it's a wholly independent thing.

@pangolincovid@TheBristleHead@nemagovau@AlboMP It has no way to perform tracking or data harvesting. It's one-way communication: an alert is sent to one or more cell towers, those cell towers relay the alert to any connected devices.
@Nomates1980@nemagovau Not certain, but I'd assume it's just to provide as large a window as possible in case there's issues or delays. This is a *test* after all.
@pipesnshit@nemagovau To provide warnings to people in an area of emergencies like natural disasters.
NEMA sends an emergency broadcast to one or more cell towers, the cell tower relays the broadcast to any phones connected to that tower.
