Testing out my newest model for detecting(and counting) bacteria CFU’s. This is using my webcam but hopefully I’ll be able to transfer the model to the OAK-D-Lite pretty soon!

@ToKTeacher @DavidDeutschOxf @ATabarrok If AGI is just “creativity” then people will always say “well that’s not creative, it’s just some transformation of its training data that comes from humans!” So I guess it’s impossible

@SynBio1 Not big into culture media, prefer a shot of FBS

@LocasaleLab What do you mean biochemistry and cell biology is solved or close to solved?

[Los Angeles Inoculum @InoculumLA]

@ATinyGreenCell It’s a tough concept to get across. Local maximum vs global maximum. Maybe you don’t need to use 1 mL, maybe 3 uL is sufficient to do the experiment but we never had until now the ability to scale it that small. Just my thoughts

[Los Angeles Inoculum @InoculumLA]

@ATinyGreenCell On 96 well plate vs 384.. we designed experiments that could be run on 96 wells because that was the limit of our multi channel pipettes, we had to reexamine whether our technology or our own personal limitations are standing in the way.

@itsolelehmann @baym People really don’t understand how much that was a bottleneck

@hugues_va This seems interesting, I have a med chem ms, working full time as a scientist while working on my ms in computer science. Do you think there’s good crossover with this role?

@KexinHuang5 @a16z @MenloVentures @AnthropicAI Congratulations, this is so exciting! Are you still actively looking for more ai scientists?

@chris_j_paxton This is the most important thing not enough people understand.

[Los Angeles Inoculum @InoculumLA]

@aidan_mclau It’s possible what we think as consciousness, animal consciousness, or llm consciousness are just tiny subsets of a much larger multi dimensional multi variable item. An item that we don’t even understand. And we’re just sitting in our own bucket trying to lift it.

I wish schools could make homework so joyful that students want to do it themselves, rather than let ChatGPT have all the fun.

@elonmusk @pmarca Block calculators next. And word processors. Bring back abacuses and quil feather ink writing. By candle.

[Los Angeles Inoculum @InoculumLA]

@pmarca All it takes is one tech person to go down for fraud, one piece of revolutionary tech to drop, a war, a famine, any of the above would create ripples through that complex system that could never be predictive since it’s such an emergent system

@igilitschenski @CSProfKGD @VenetisPall @prof_g But he also makes everything very manageable and less overwhelming.

[Los Angeles Inoculum @InoculumLA]

@igilitschenski @CSProfKGD @VenetisPall @prof_g Strang online lectures make you want to keep watching just cuz he’s such a treasure. Like you don’t want to disappoint him by stopping. 😅
