Our immune system is amazing, but faces pandemics, cancer and aging. It's also wired to reject what we need to extend our healthspans & minds: organs, implants, new genes. It's time to radically augment it. We need to build an immune-computer interface (ICI). A manifesto🧵!

I love the fact that the sentence "to prevent the model from becoming evil, we actually inject it with evil" here is a somewhat accurate description of complex AI alignment work.
We introduce a method called preventative steering, which involves steering towards a persona vector to prevent the model acquiring that trait. It's counterintuitive, but it’s analogous to a vaccine—to prevent the model from becoming evil, we actually inject it with evil.

If there are LLM vaccines, what are the LLM immune systems like?.
In which the gang (@RunjinChen, @andyarditi, @Jack_W_Lindsey ):. - identifies vectors for bad personas (evil, sycophancy, hallucinations, etc).- shows that if you inject the bad vectors in training, the model learns to not do the bad thing!!. aka vaccines but for LLMs.

Enjoyed Superman throughout. I had high expectations, which were met and even exceeded, but I was NOT prepared for Nicholas Hoult's comic-book-accurate Lex Luthor eyebrows! . The entire cast was great, but I daresay Hoult gave us the Lex equivalent of Reeve's Superman.

The feeling when you think the new ChatGPT feature "search connectors" is a brainstorming tool to explore the idea space connected to your prompt, and it turns out to be Dropbox/Gmail search. :-(.

Really interesting thread -- I feel this was all obviously coming when the OpenCRISPR paper came out, if not before.
Will AI-designed proteins break biologics patents?. If your IP strategy still relies on “≥80 % sequence identity,” it might be time for a rethink. Thread👇. Tools like ProteinMPNN from the Baker Lab, take an existing e.g. AbAg complex or enzyme and can replace substantial parts

Been thinking about this for a while! Interesting major CS experiments, at least on the AI side, might also now on average cost *more* than biology experiments of comparable impact.
It’s kind of interesting, but in some ways AI is making CS much more like biology. We can observe and tweak what it does, but we really don’t know how it’s doing it. A science and engineering discipline rooted in empiricism over theory. I wonder if this trend continues.

Surely we have already achieved a Type 1 civilization at least on the Kardashian scale. We are fully utilizing all the energy output of the Kardashians, or at least Kim.

Sonogenetics!.
This is very exciting! Huang et al. mutated the auditory protein prestin to more resemble the prestin found in echolocating animals, giving it the ability to induce calcium uptake into neurons upon exposure to ultrasound for wireless neurostimulation.
