An unlikely coalition of the US, the EU, a Turkish autocrat, a Caucasian dictator, a Greek Prime Minister & international energy companies helped Bulgaria to become independent from Russian gas basically overnight. Spent a week in Bulgaria for the story of an amazing liberation:

The measured levels of RNA & protein products of some genes (e.g., PCCB) correlate poorly.
However, protein levels predicated from the entire measured transcriptome correlate strongly with the measured protein levels.

Pour ceux qui se demandent pourquoi le billet du milieu s’appelle une prostate:
A la fin du règne de Mobutu au Congo-Zaire le système monétaire a complètement explosé et est devenu extraordinaire.

Après avoir suspendu le compte qui suivait le jet privé d’Elon Musk, Twitter suspend le compte personnel de son créateur.
Visiblement, la liberté d’expression s’arrête à l’égo de Musk.

This over-sexualization of female subjects in generated images is something we've known since at least 2020 (see @aylin_cim & @ryanbsteed's arxiv.org/abs/2010.15052) - it's so frustrating to see that this continues to be a problem, now in actual deployed products. 😳

I tried the viral Lensa AI portrait app, and got lots and lots of nudes. I know AI image generation models are full of sexist and racist biases, but this one really hit home. My latest story for @techreview technologyreview.com/2022/12…

Oh, amazing😂😂 news for people feeling depressed at paper rejections.
10 Nov 2022
In a classic experiment, 12 articles were resubmitted to the same journals in which they had already been published. Three were recognized as resubmissions. Eight of the nine articles reviewed again were rejected, often due to "serious methodological flaws."

I asked an AI to describe a cat and then I put the AI's description of a cat into an AI image generator.
ALT "a small, furry animal that is commonly kept as a pet with soft, silky fur that comes in a wide range of colors and patterns. They have slender, agile bodies and sharp claws, which they use for hunting and climbing"...apparently.

In honor of Dr. Liang's PhD defense, the whole @SMUCeleganslab dressed up as the heatmap in Figure 1F from Liang et al., 2022.
I'd say we pretty much nailed it!
