I like to see nature

This definitely seems like something worth noting, and illustrates the gap between Fable/Astra class models and the previous frontier that was "merely" good at hacking under human instructions. Initiative, creativity, whatever-you-want-to-call-it by capable models changes things

Computer: say it. say the words. Me: can we not do this today? Computer: we do this every day. say it. Me: (*sigh) I would like to stay logged in on this device Computer: (*chuckling)

Would like to see this on every social media website, and I’m glad we’re calling it what it is now

Oh my God, this is not a drill - LinkedIn has added 'seems like AI slop' as an option on posts Genuinely thought it was a joke until I clicked on a few posts

This is ... horrific

I did not have this in my bingo card this year: "DeepMind dismantles AlphaFold team in strategy shift" #Alphafold #AI #Biotech #DeepMind

I'm not letting AI horseshit maneuver me into a defensive position with my writing. I write like I write. I love emdashes. I keep using emdashes. Whatever we write, AI will take and copy it -- all you can do is keep writing the best shit you can write in the form you want it to take, and fuck it.

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

How can’st thou endure without being mad?

Kids school asked for scientist-parents to come in and talk to kids about science and im sitting here thinking, what's the point? What STEM career could these kids have with the way science funding has depleted and unis are being defunded across the world?

AI event flyers are ruining my life cause I didn't know I had so many friends with bad taste

Admirable clarity @science.org

Whew, the editors of @science.org are getting real.

not really surprised to learn that terminal stupidity and racism is the reason i can’t walk into a CVS and just buy a toothbrush without flagging down the one person who might be in the store dannykatch.substack.com/p/we-used-to...

How to use AI to make a graphical abstract in minutes

Artificial intelligence is a democratizing force for those without graphic-design experience, as long as it is used conscientiously.

The answer to "why does everything suck now" almost ALWAYS goes back to "venture capital." Which goes back to "a lot of people have too much money and don't know what to do with it." Which goes back to: "We need to tax rich people more." It's like it's the solution to 99% of our problems!!

CLEAR-ST: to remove lateral mRNA diffusion signal from spatial transcriptomics: github.com/chrissymkcn/... #ismb2026

it is my opinion that one should tread carefully when using generative ai in human to human communication. or just don't. or at least tell it to stop using rounded boxes and putting tons of words per slide. #ismb2026

A highlight from #ISMB2026! Dr. Maryann Martone delivered her keynote, “AI and Ontologies: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship,” exploring how AI and ontologies can work together to advance biomedical knowledge discovery. dknet.org/about/blog/2... #AI #Ontologies

If you are a researcher that uses slop machines to create figures for your talk, you are embarassing yourself

Fascinating perceptual story! So grateful I get to see colors that can’t be displayed on a screen all the time at Kua Bay.
