I’m going to say this once

Whenever they decide to end fable’s silent retreat for biology

People will be excited

And it will be an opportunity for you to potentially sign or accept some terms and conditions that are otherwise ridiculous

They may consider; and im just brainstorming here

- rev share for any drugs that come out of their LLM’s usage — which depending on how it’s set up may or may not be something fair. regardless, you want OPTIONS IN OTHER MODELS to end demand inelasticity on such models
- most likely a way for them to train on your data as you get more and more dependent on the chatbot
- perhaps a way to use patient data for at least internal drug development and pharma partnerships

What lets them get away with this? The fact that there’s not enough other comparable options for you.

The good news is DATA is a universal limitation. Whether or not im right. what I’m saying is: the only way to have optionality now is to power frontier bio and medical AI research outside of this lab and other labs that may act this way. They are developing drugs. Fine. But they may consider you either as free data or as competition.

Not fair to a patient or a smaller biotech

Support open source AI + frontier scientific AI development

This angers me so much because it is a sociologically established fact that in times of severe strife, people will hold on to the “little things” to try and make life better. During the Bosnian Genocide, Bosnian women would still get dressed up, put their make up on and resist.

@beththebigboss as someone who is currently 6 months pregnant with a baby i planned to have with my husband: i am more pro-choice than i ever have been.

forcing a person to go through the physical and mental trial of pregnancy when they don’t want to is actually inhumane to everyone involved.

What is this behavior?

Hi Professor! Current Harvard Law student here & Palestinian. Hate to take the bait, but I do want to breakdown why this article is inaccurate & intellectually dishonest. Thread:

A Prime Minister should be getting interviewed, not interviewing people. The head of a country fawning over a billionaire. This is as pathetic as it is worrying.

[Brandy Jensen @BrandyLJensen]

you gotta think this strategy of saying that thousands and thousands of normal people, out with their neighbors and their kids, are big fans of terrorism is going to have diminishing returns

[Jennifer Polk, PhD (she, her) @FromPhDtoLife]

Good morning to folks who are disgusted by the active refusal of so many white people to acknowledge other people can be victims too.

The most my own government seems willing to do is politely ask that Israel "pause" it's Palestinian genocide.

The utter depravity and moral cowardice has truly astounded me.

I know that's because I've still harboured a sense that while we're not overly fussed here in Canada about slow-motion genocide (and mass disability and deaths during a pandemic we can't be bothered to do much about) I had thought we'd not want to be militarily and politically allied with a state killing hundreds of civilians, including doctors, journalists, teachers, and children every day for the past two weeks.

I'm a Canadian citizen and I'm not okay with this.

If you're still at this point wondering why I'm using words like "genocide" that I know will get folks angry with me, it's because I refuse to be unclear and indirect about what's happening.

Go read the 1948 Genocide Convention and compare it with what we're all witnessing. Then reflect on the rhetoric coming from Israeli state officials and official channels. It seems quite clear to me.

@OluwaMelodyy @photonsmight Kind of iconic tweet lol

one thing about the leopards, they will always eat

The God like status JK Rowling has within the TERF cult is absurd.
How dare three adults with agency who starred in movies based on Rowling’s work as kids exercise their right to free speech to disagree with the almighty Rowling. Off with their heads.

Some big TERFs are finally noticing the leopards nibbling on their faces.

[Dr Helen Webberley (she/her) @HelenWebberley]

In 2019, Caster Semenya was told she could no longer participate in sport unless she took hormone suppressants.

As a doctor, I find this unacceptable.

Medicine is prescribed for the benefit of the patient's health - not because a sports committee dictates it.

Genetic advantages are seen throughout the sporting world.

🏊‍♂️Michael Phelps has a super large wingspan and lung capacity.

🤸‍♀️Simone Biles is only 4ft8, allowing her to retain skills she's had since childhood (while other gymnasts have to re-learn new techniques as they grow.)

🏀Boban Marjanovic has the largest hands in the NBA, and is so tall he can dunk without jumping.

Do we ask any of these athletes to retire?
Do we ask them to undergo surgery to reduce their size?
Do we ask them to take growth hormones, or drugs that alter their abilities?

Absolutely not.

The truth is, because testosterone is linked to gender identity, it has once again been forced into the spotlight by the press.

While I'm relieved on the European Court's decision Semenya's rights were violated, it's a disgrace it even happened in the first place. Hopefully this can be an educational moment for everyone.

1 in 5 women have high testosterone levels.

And genetic advantages are seen in all corners of the sporting world.

Can we all start celebrating these incredible human beings, instead of trying to cut them out?

[Yilin @ The Lantern and the Night Moths @yilinwriter]

I condemn in the strongest terms possible the British Museum's communication with me for how condescending they have been and how lacking in good faith. They are forcing me to escalate this, and I will fight you to the bitter end. May Qiu Jin's ghost haunt you all forever.

Someone has accidentally replied to a listserv with every student in the faculty, we are now at 50 emails from people asking to be removed from the email chain. People clearly don't understand how listserv works. . .

I can't understand why people are getting so mad lmao

For students from #Sudan: I created this database of UK scholarships that target students who experienced forced displacement, hardship, and financial distress. I will continue updating as I find more resources: https://t.co/rxHNsoexTn
