A company like this should be talking about its ethical duty toward artificial intelligence and respect for the central role of the human species.

Instead, it puts forward a series of assumptions based on its own convictions that reveal its power and ambition have no limits whatsoever.

It sounds like a Terminator AI holding a press conference on how it is reorganizing society to fit its militaristic armament project, and one that speaks about religion in a pre-programmed way.

[Leslie Vosshall PhD @leslievosshall]

Scientific publishing needs to change. In a new preprint, HHMI President Erin O'Shea and Bodo Stern argue that the incentives are misaligned. Researchers should be evaluated on what they choose to share, not what journals select. I’m proud that @hhmi_science is leading the way. Read the preprint here: https://t.co/CV1iiwgIvY
