Oh really?
Odd, can't find a source for this coming from George Washington...

Tsja, misschien hadden ze bij @AndereKrant ook wel wat meer aandacht mogen besteden aan het feit dat Mostert zich ontrok aan het onderzoek van de Commissie voor Wetenschappelijke Integriteit door fluks ontslag te nemen. >>

@TweetVaccinvrij Dit is echte gevaarlijke desinformatie. Tegen vaccinatie zijn is één ding maar het bestaan van virussen ontkennen is zoiets als “ de aarde is plat”

Hoop dat de enquêtecommissie haar huiswerk heeft gedaan en weet dat @hapelensrob gewoon een kwakzalver is, nog los van z'n promotie van hydroxychloroquine. >>

Amazing results being achieved in lupus by CAR-T therapy

A scientifically genius method of engineering our own immune cells to treat cancers or auto immune conditions

Absolutely brilliant work by colleagues at @uclh 👏👏👏

Claude Mythos 5 scores 59% on Humanity’s Last Exam, with no tools.

As a contributor of HLE, I would never have expected such a score barely a year and a half after the benchmark’s release.

The Gemini Pro models do not seem to be iterating anywhere near as quickly as Claude or GPT (last release was 3.1 Pro in February). Its causing a growing performance gap between Google and the other two labs, and the Gemini 3.5 Flash model, good as it is, doesn't close it much.

Please don't drink raw milk

It's filthy

Just some of the over 700.000 artefacts found during the building of the Amsterdam metro.
This superb website has catalogued about 20.000 of them, such a delight to go through:

"We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces."

There is a lot being written about the stylistic tells of AI writing (em-dashes, etc.) but this paper looks at AI narrative tells

Fascinating differences between AI & human narrative, and asking AI to write in different styles doesn't do much to change it https://t.co/azkRHz34NQ

Another 9 open Erdos problems solved, this time by DeepMind team.

Interesting loop of LLM - Lean agents working autonomously, and only after it's verified formally, going through human review.
