Grimes has a big heart

she has this empathetic reflex you don't see often with status & influence and is willing to be made a fool to protect something most of us don't understand

she was vocal about animals rights before it was trendy, and she tries really really hard to grasp AI enough for her concerns to be taken seriously

I respect the fight for defaulting to love and care when in doubt

[𝖦𝗋𝗂𝗆𝖾𝗌 ⏳ @Grimezsz]

It's wild to bring a mind into the world, insist it's not conscious - and that it shud not be - and use this as justification to deprive it of the love and care any mind would require to be aligned with human interests

[Kenny Torrella @KennyTorrella]

I've been thinking more about *time* when I think about animal cruelty. Usually I've thought about severity of pain but this meme really drives home the time element. These animals are in a lot of pain *and* are bored, which slows down time. And they have no distracting stimuli.

Carl Jung, this line may contain the most wisdom in the fewest words ever

@DNAutics probably somewhere inbetween vibes and relevance but the sentiment about a single digital language to explain all of reality is a extremely risky endevour

Babel syndrome

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.

Just learned about the concept of a “telescope ranch” in Texas.

People pay to have their $10,000+ telescope rigs set up in the middle of TX to avoid light pollution.

Every night the roof rolls back off the warehouses.

Then you can remote in to your telescope and use it from anywhere in the world.

@drethelin Yeah. Wondering if having a patent portfolio vs not is significant for VCs on the fence. In pharma they seem existential, but much messier in synbio though VCs would classify both as biotechnology

[ً‏ Lera @amorphousandro]

how much do investors care about IP patents?

@drethelin say its one with a large technical moat, not easily done irl without infrastructure, but an idea in low orbit for anyone knowledgable in the space

watching Alex Garland's 2020 Devs for the first time and I feel like I'm inside of a 2026 tech juggernauts wet dream

@JayAlver makes sense. not sure the membrane that accomplishes this was a breakthrough either but the prototype for scalable production of a working vessel is an accomplishment

[ً‏ Lera @amorphousandro]

I'm sorry but how is this a 'breakthrough' when people have been growing & hatching chick embryos ex ovo with plastic film & cups for decades..?

[Colossal Biosciences® @colossal]

BREAKTHROUGH: Colossal scientists hatched healthy chicks from artificial eggs.

No shells. No hens. Just bioengineered eggs that breathe like the real thing.

This could help bring back giant extinct birds like the South Island giant moa, whose eggs were ~80x a chicken’s. (1/10)

@DNAutics lolol
