Really disappointing, @impulseLabs_ and @sdamico Almost the weekend with no contact from your support team. Thinking about how to escalate my concerns, e.g. to BBB or emailing your investors. Do something!

Hey @ImpulseLabs_ I am one of your first customers, my stovetop is dead in an endless update loop when an install fails, and your support team has not responded after two days. WTF? Please do better!

This was a historic moment. The largest convening of #Indigenous geneticists, data scientists, physicians to include other national leaders at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's science think tank, the Banbury Institute @cshlbanbury, to discuss Indigenous reference #genomes and implications:

Are you a recent Ph.D. (or about to finish) interested in doing a postdoc with me at the University of Chicago? This program might be just the ticket. Applications due Dec 18.

Without my abortion I wouldn't be the person, wife, mother, and physician I am today. I am voting because every woman deserves the self determination that the younger me got.

Let's also give credit to Tom Koetzel who established the PDB and ran it for decades, the DOE Brookhaven Nation Laboratory that provided a home for the resource, and legendary program officer John Wooley who shepherded it through many uncertain funding cycles
Much of the success of breakthroughs, such as AlphaFold, is thanks to a database of protein structures dreamed up in the 1960s by Helen Berman go.nature.com/4hp4UCP

Subtle but serious damage from using AI tools. Be careful out there!
15 Oct 2024
I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX AI).
I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right.
Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird.
I open my original photo.
No bra showing.
I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF...
Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨
Immediately, I email the conference host.
(FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.)
He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue.
He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website.
She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller.
AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯

FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

Lovely to hear @geoffreyhinton paying tribute to colleagues and students, but I wasn't expecting this ... he's taking no prisoners (and why should he)

🤖 - Talking with chatbots reduces faith in conspiracy theories
• After chat with generative AI that offers facts, many people drop conspiracy views on wide range of topics
• Chats decrease average belief in conspiracies by 20%, with effects lasting for at least two months

Sad to hear the great David Burnham died. In addition to his spectacular reporting, he founded the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, one of the first great sources of open data. A true hero. nytimes.com/2024/10/05/nyreg…

It's Nobel week, so—after a break last year when this account became a Karikó stan account—I am reposting my annual plea to give Lipman and Myers a Nobel Prize for creating BLAST
