After a long wait, our longitudinal long COVID study is finally published in @NatureComms: https://t.co/0xfTnjTPNB. We find a skeletal muscle alterations in patients with #longcovid, which worsen with exercise. 1/n

Calling it now: The $86B OpenAI tender will someday be seen as the WeWork moment of AI.

👉GPT-5 will either be significantly delayed or not meet expectations.
👉Companies will struggle to put GPT-4 and 5 into production (see below)
👉Competition will increase, margins will be thin
👉The profits won’t justify the valuation, esp after MSFT’s hefty cut is taken out.

I'll go on the record with perhaps another contrarian opinion: Lucene HNSW is the future and (pure) vector DB vendors are in trouble. Why?

ME/CFS is a terrible illness that removes people from their own lives.

For #WorldMEDay, please consider watching this short video on it. More and more people you know will be getting ME/CFS from COVID, and it means so much to be understood. https://t.co/o5jMi5We8y

Just how good are commercially available embedding APIs for vector search? An effort led by @ehsk0 evaluated a few of them - @OpenAI @CohereAI @Aleph__Alpha - on BEIR and MIRACL... Check out the results! https://t.co/Jui39qIeM3 - forthcoming #ACL2023 industry track paper

Today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay and it's time to start telling my story. I've had #LongCOVID for 1 year and 3 months. I'm getting better with time, but it's been a long road. I'll be posting my story over the next few days, so subscribe and follow along: https://t.co/zlks9me43k

2.68% of Bavaria is suffering from #LongCovid this year, up from 1.15% in 2021.

@organichemusic Would this kind of Herx reaction release enough viral debris to cause an antigen or PCR test to be positive? In other words, given symptoms and a positive antigen test, is it from a reinfection or viral debris released? (My situation 5 days after starting NK.)
