@fusionprotein @kesvelt On 2, metagenomic sequencing is a very small fraction of environmental wastewater surveillance. It's moving quickly, but it's still early days and needs larger scale, faster turnaround time, more sensitive lab methods, and more adversarially-resistant computational methods.

When I look at why I expect the world to change quickly, a big component is that I expect to see widespread "teleoperation": AI guiding people through tasks that have previously been limited to people who are paid a lot for their knowledge and judgement. https://t.co/VeJJgSeRUg

If AI goes well I think the world could be extremely good. The bottom 10% living far better than the top 10% do now. This is the promise that gets people working so hard to build something so dangerous.

I've had several conversations with people over the last few weeks that have highlighted how far apart my view of the near future is from many people I talk to. https://t.co/ONazljWUNa

Lots of people have plans to make the world better by improving X to improve Y to improve Z, where it's Z that matters. If Z is more than 3y out, consider finding a different plan.

This is so cool.

I’m pleased to share version 1.0 of our new dashboard for displaying data from our wastewater metagenomic project.

This is a collaborative projected between MU, U. Wisc @dho, and SecureBio; funded by Inkfish and Open Philanthropy.

@DtaGuy @open_erv @sri_srikrishna @VentiloAngel @TheFandelier If I were doing it now I'd use taller filters: Bernoulli principle means you want filters that extend below the plane of the blades.
