"If we don't understand the worm, we don't understand life."
Biologist John Sulston's pioneering research on the development of cells within tiny nematode worms paved the way for new understandings of how cancers emerge. He shared the 2012 medicine prize for his discoveries.
OpenAI’s biggest competitor just gave AI the ability to control computers
We gave 250+ hackers 24 hours to see what it’s capable of
Here’s what we saw at the Nexgen Computer Use Agents Hackathon w/ @AnthropicAI + @AgentOpsAI@notablecap at @AGIHouseSF (🧵):

This is utterly brilliant. A student accuses @jk_rowling of being transphobic. This teacher skilfully dissects the claim and challenges it by asking questions.
He teaches not what to think, but how to think critically.
Watch until the end.
You see the epiphany in real-time.
Our team at #CZImagingInstitute is excited to share the #CryoET Data Portal beta release.
With over 13,000 tomograms, it’s the start of what we hope will be a large, open-access portal of high-quality, standardized & annotated cryo-ET data.

Our latest paper is out now @emboreports
We show that in the developing brain the #epigenetic landscape affects symmetry of division and cell identity by regulating #metabolism

I'm speechless.
Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper.
The 'presented images' were shown to a group of humans. The 'reconstructed images' were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion.
In other words, #stablediffusion literally read people's minds.
