@realJeremyCarl "Mass Immigration and cultural drift has truly made NYC a post-American city"

You can just say you want American to be white only. A lot fewer words and not any less subtle.

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

All these AI companies, how have none of them made an AI that says "fuck off" to all the popups and requests for feedback.

Microsoft asked how likely I was to recommend POWERPOINT to other people.

AI should be able to stop that from popping up and bugging me.

@ScriptTrooper Sounds like a good reason to vote to break up media monopolies.

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

@GeoffLewisOrg Almost hard to believe you descended into AI psychosis after posting this. /S

@SarahSorensongs @tarapalmeri "the rules don't apply to Christians!"

@TherealCurtJ What do you want them to do? Surrender to Faucci at Versailles too?

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

@Patrickwebb "bombshell" here meaning "no information that hasn't been out for years but let's start talking about Faucci rather than Trump covering up the Epstein files or Trump surrendering to Iran."

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

@Ti_Enjoli Wait, two years. Shit. That's even worse.

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

@Ti_Enjoli A year after reposting this, I'm basically doing a third postdoc. Sorta.

I'm not sure it's a "real" postdoc since I'm not working for postdoc wages or hours and I'm not imagining I'll get a tenure-track position from this.

@TychoBrahe RE the 20 genes thing, she, Colossal, and other scientists are trying to write whole genomes, but the technology is not there yet. This is sort of like the moon landing: useless in and of itself, but getting there would be revolutionary

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

@TychoBrahe TLDR: doing it in lab is hard, and the concept of a species is also hard, the ethics behind doing so are hard (but $$$).

Doing dinosaurs is flat out impossible sadly.

@GregTSargent Most democrats are arguing in good faith. Democrats on either side of whether Biden should step down are both trying to stop fascism.

Doesn't make sense to insist the other side is "sneering" or "smug" here: the other side is not republicans being evil.

@Caroline_Bartma I thought I had a great idea: FBS for muscle cell culture seems to work via growth factors, so we'd just use transgenic cell lines to avoid needing the growth factors.

Turns out a lot of vegans also hate the idea of transgenic food...

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

@Caroline_Bartma It was especially wild with cultivated meat.

"We made a hamburger without killing a cow... well not directly killing a cow anyway. And it cost $300k, most of which was because of the aborted cow stuff."

@mike_feigin ChatGTP!

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

@EileneSpear I heard "this is how you were convinced" and I have questions.

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

@NavinPokala @mehdirhasan NO! MUSK TEPIDLY POINTING OUT REALITY AND SCIENCE FROM BEFORE HE WAS BORN IS NOT A "GREAT POINT"!

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

@GidMK Thank you for your medical advice.

[Dr. Phil @Duke_of_neural]

@Noahpinion "Nobody wants to work anymore types" are very upset at people working.
