Has Claude gotten more stupid since Sonnet 5?

Can anyone show me another Prime Minister who publicly claims that promoting Homeopathy within the healthcare system can help their nation progress?

Just one?

In the country of its origin, Germany, the Health Minister Karl Lauterbach is actively moving to abolish state-funded insurance coverage for homeopathic treatments, arguing that services without proven medical benefits should not be financed by statutory health insurance.

People like this man are giving me second hand embarrassment because his team of science illiterates is the sole reason why India is now the pseudoscience capital of the world, dethroning China to the second place.

@Airtel_Presence I still haven’t received my refund or any update on this @Airtel_Presence

@airtelindia @Airtel_Presence @airtelnews I still haven’t received my refund for the wifi connection I got closed last month. No way to register complaints either. Will I get my money back?

A massive study of 28 MILLION French adults just delivered some of the strongest evidence to date - mRNA vaccines do not increase long-term mortality. In fact, 4-year all-cause deaths were lower among the vaccinated.

Because of science:

Your mother survived childbirth. You never got polio. You’ve never seen smallpox. Your friend with type 1 diabetes is alive. That infection you had? Antibiotics cured it.

We don’t live longer because of luck. We live longer because science works.

Don't go to Chiropractors people. They are quacks with no idea about human anatomy and physiology. At best, you come out unhurt, worst, you can land up in ICU with a ruptured artery and stroke.

The same goes for acupuncture too. Quacks of the first order. Recently an acupuncture practitioner in Kerala killed her own baby after he developed jaundice and she tried acupuncture and all sorts of anti-science practices on him. The police are after her now.

Stay away from these kinds of "healthcare" practitioners and save yourself.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Just bcoz animals cannot talk or criticize, these committee members can take loads of money from the Ayurveda lobby and make any nonsense guidelines recommendations they want, to profit from it. The veterinary doctors are in it too. Animals also deserve science-based healthcare.

Here's to the end to using elusive aliases for the genes and signalling peptides we were working on XD

[Santosh Satbhai @santosh7bhai]

Excited to share our latest findings: PEP2-PEPR2 module regulates Fe-deficiency signalling and root growth in Arabidopsis. https://t.co/PXwgxRb3zu Congratulations @DEEPSHI40871799 4 leading the fantastic work @sbslab_IISERM @DBS_IISERM @IiserMohali Tnks @DBTIndia for the funding.

[Sanskar Mishra @_m_sanskar]

@santosh7bhai @DEEPSHI40871799 @DBS_IISERM @IiserMohali @DBTIndia Way to go! I feel so grateful for the opportunity and sorely miss being a part of such a kind and welcoming lab. Can't wait to see what more is discovered. Congratulations!

Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill.

Here is how the study was designed and what we found (including a result that really surprised me):

The only purpose religion now serves is to be used as a way to patronise the ignorant and incompetent. The people of this country need to be sat in a class and educated. How do you justify violence in the name of god?

Warning: Disturbing video

In UP, commuters continue to face wrath of Kanwariyas over suspicion of desecration of Kanwar. Car occupants in Meerut were waylaid and assaulted using iron rods by a Kanwariya group. In the video, car occupants could be seen trying to escape from the brutal assault.

SARS-CoV-2 provides an unprecedented opportunity to watch evolution occur in real time. It also happens to be showing the pervasiveness of many misconceptions about evolution, even among scientists with limited knowledge of evolutionary biology. Here's a list and explanations. 🧵

This is insane. A species of Asteraceae (Heterosperma pinnatum) changes what kind of seeds it produces according to local growing conditions. If conditions are lousy, seeds with wind-dispersal structures are produced so the next generation can get the hell out of there.
