@theanantpai most of my colleagues are pounding the pavement for any amount of money to keep their labs together in pursuit of fundamental science, while CRO concepts are getting showered in cash

that said, something I'm directly inspired is the velocity, academia bureaucracy is arduous

[svdr @SVDRECBD]

Jensen is a pretty swag guy, but some of the fan fics you guys are cooking up about him are bordering on parity, no he's not going to do a frontier lab have you lost your fucking mind lmao

[svdr @SVDRECBD]

fuck it I guess I’m back on Team Bard Bros #letsride

with the new Anthropic models coming out today I chuckled a little bit thinking about how I applied to the Life Sciences Verification Program within 30 minutes of the announcement and never heard back

they must’ve yelled Kobe as they threw my application in the trash lmao

@BUNNlCULA SF, since things have really been booming I haven't really looked into it, was just wondering what the temperature was for someone earning at your level

[Arc 🦃 @arcgustine]

Honestly if they sent a honeypot after me she’d probably fall in love with me and betray China

@stefanoscalia theres places like this outside Livermore lmao

@dogtheCPA @siddjain99 dick sucking billionaires on twitter wont buy you a clue, build something of your own

[svdr @SVDRECBD]

@BigSteelShips @mean_field_zane this is all very true, im just surprised he outright said it, hes had a lot of (merited) strife with them over the years

[mister employed again @Forever_Wario]

These people fucked with science funding enough that it majorly altered my career and it is very satisfying to see them fail

[svdr @SVDRECBD]

the dichotomy of being told that AIxBio is the next frontier while having to do everything by hand because no frontier LLM will let me do anything without getting targeted by "safety guardrails" makes me want to throw my laptop out my window on a regular basis

[Malika 🧬 @malikules]

insane alpha to be a bio person going into tech bro, dude i swear we can just generate all of this biological data in autonomous wet labs with de novo systems based on the latest multi omics large scale benchmark and sell it to model providers and then solve cancer with novel targets via AI in drug discovery then build guardrails for mirror life because of ai scientist who's gonna live forever thanks to longevity, and actually, have you heard of agentic biology bro? insane sigma in being a tech bro who can solve biology through our meta-benchmarked proprietary bio model and also we're into biosecurity but we don't know what it means yet, and it doesn't matter because we benchmarked it bro

[svdr @SVDRECBD]

@idoccor I have inverse AI psychosis where the better the models becomes the less impressed with them I get, if I need to remind it to do basic shit you’re not the god machine I was promised

[svdr @SVDRECBD]

the “one man biotech firm” is so funny once you read any amount of the literature reporting on it; if this counts as one man, United Airlines is a one man airline company lmao

[svdr @SVDRECBD]

@0xEthanS personally, Ive only ever seen governance as the only real way to do "AI Safety" everything else is a pointless waste of time

[svdr @SVDRECBD]

history will vindicate us against those who worshiped graph theory & linear algebra as though it were people

[Somewhere @somewheresy]

I’m starting to believe most MechInterp work that happens in closed spaces is junk and also that AI Safety is largely not real

[svdr @SVDRECBD]

@uslibposting my only gripe is with Newsom, he should get honorary C Tier status for Prop 50 alone

[svdr @SVDRECBD]

when you at the "AI for Bio" networking event and they catch you talking about building an RNA CNN for ciliates instead of building an GLP-1 agonist for dogs

[Kevin K. Yang 楊凱筌 @KevinKaichuang]

I need all the AI people to stop saying "biology" when they mean "medicine" or "drug development"
