'Now academic papers can be fully automated.'

That headline crossed my desk this morning. The article surveys 3 new AI Scientist systems.

I run an AI-first biology project. Read it with a question: where do these tools sit relative to what I'm actually running? 1/

The buyer's question is the moment. Answer it while interest is fresh: https://t.co/urOjd7Swud

[brianabent @brianabent]

Each sign, flyer, and open-house sheet gets its own QR code, tracked separately, so you know which one drives buyers.

[brianabent @brianabent]

You see what mattered to them before the first call.

[brianabent @brianabent]

Alma sends them to the home's own website, backed by what you uploaded, where they get answers grounded in the home's real documents.

[brianabent @brianabent]

The buyer scanned because something about the home caught their attention.

[brianabent @brianabent]

If it doesn't answer at least the basic questions, the scan is wasted. The buyer wants to see the pictures. They want to know the asking price.

@NikoMcCarty Love this. I'm researching A. Oryzae to grow medicine but will dig into duckweed now too :)

@stuartathompson Fun read! And you ended with the question I'm working on: how do you buy a house without an agent?

[brianabent @brianabent]

@liangc_science I'd like to run a few of these against my harness and see what comes back

[brianabent @brianabent]

Yes! I'm growing mold to secrete enzymes :)

to combat nihilism you can also grow lots of ludicrous things…. personal list of wild things I’m growing in nyc include the sweetest of blueberries, a hope of fresh boysenberries, dwarf figs (propagated and proper), the taste of chocolate mint, sea creature-like silver mound wormwood, a hoard of cherry tomato plants.

[brianabent @brianabent]

Awesome!

@brianabent cure for amd...

[brianabent @brianabent]

But what have we all gained?

[Dr. Thomas Ichim @exosome]

Today we all lost our jobs.....

Three Nature papers showing that scientists in the conventional sense are obsolete

At least read the first one.... the AI replaced all things that the scientist does ....

This is badass!

Lab robots cost $15,000.

I built one for $200.

@brianabent What are you working on right now?

[Jason Vedadi @vedadi]

It took 54 years, two presidents, 42,000 public comments, multiple canceled hearings, and a Joe Rogan podcast appearance for the government to decide weed isn’t as dangerous as heroin. Progress! 🐢 #cannabis #joerogan

[brianabent @brianabent]

Oh hi!

[Seth Bannon @sethbannon]

Everyone brags about oversubscribed rounds.

I’m more impressed by founders who barely scrape a round together through sheer force of will because what they’re building is so far outside the mainstream that almost nobody understands it yet.

[brianabent @brianabent]

Then it should SNAP!

my coworker just asked me to "make it pop" on a UI and i want everyone to know that "make it pop" is not actionable design feedback. please be specific. i am begging

[brianabent @brianabent]

If you're using AI for scientific research, you need to be using multiple models from different vendors. https://t.co/syotAua0jR
