The more I use LLMs and agents, the more I'm convinced fundamental knowledge, curiosity, and the Socratic method will be required for success. Choose your kids education carefully.

Proud with @UNSWRNA to have been involved & making the mRNA-LNP for Rosie. There are nuances here that the thread below misses but nevertheless, the intersection of RNA technology, genomic & AI poses an opportunity to change the way do medicine and make access more equitable 1/8

In 2024, the FBI came to my front door to tell me the Iranian regime had put a hit on my life — anytime, anywhere. This week, the man who accepted those orders, on American soil, was sentenced to life in prison in a New York court. Anyone who claims the Iranian regime isn’t a

A destroyed US 🇺🇸 THAAD AN/TPY-2 Radar worth over $600 million destroyed by an Iranian 🇮🇷 Shahed The US only has 8 THAAD systems, and 12-13 active AN/TPY-2 radars, which take years to replace. All this could’ve been avoided if the US worked with Ukraine 🇺🇦 on drone interceptors

Just a reminder that the "largest drone manufacturing factory on earth" is located in Alabuga, Russia. The Russians sell these to Iran according to debris found yesterday in Dubai.. The west refuses to give Ukraine the tools to destroy it, after 4 years and many thousands dead

The US is now wasting $4 million Patriot missiles on $20,000 Iranian drones. "Stupid is as stupid does." If the US had a professional president, he would ask Ukraine for technical assistance with cheap drone interceptors, but the US has Trump who instead insults Zelensky.

New reserach shows the CDC guidelines about throwing away breastmilk immediately after your baby drinks from the bottle is way too cautious. Bacterial growth is minimal, even for several hours at room temp. This may seem minor but I promise it's not for parents.

Too few Americans understand that the whole time we were fighting in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and in the Horn of Africa, that we were actually fighting Iran all along. Not sure why this is a mystery to so many Americans. Finally, instead of fighting the claws of the lion, we are

There is no defense of the admin’s AI policy. It is literally destroying American AI companies, while exporting AI chips to Chinese AI companies. Incoherent, catastrophic, and unprecedented. Xi’s early 2020s crackdown on the Chinese tech industry wasn’t even this self-defeating.

It’s extremely good that Anthropic has not backed down, and it’s siginficant that OpenAI has taken a similar stance. In the future, there will be much more challenging situations of this nature, and it will be critical for the relevant leaders to rise up to the occasion, for

Y'all were pretty effective in Venezuela... I'm assuming you didn't have to call Dario for permission then under the current contract terms?

Anthropic is lying. The @DeptofWar doesn’t do mass surveillance as that is already illegal. What we are talking about is allowing our warfighters to use AI without having to call @DarioAmodei for permission to shoot down an enemy drone swarms that would kill Americans. #CallDario

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet. 1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them
