What a shame it’s not open access

The notion that any AI does anything "from scratch" is wrong. Almost all AI systems have been fed data of millions of examples. New generations are conditional on these seen examples. Even so called de novo systems are effectively starting from a sequence implicitly.

AstraZeneca, Whitehall, and a failed £450m deal for the next generation in vaccines. What went wrong? When the pharma firm cancelled plans for a major expansion of its Merseyside plant last month, there was no shortage of questions – or blame – over responsibility

Simulating 500 million years of evolution with a language model More than three billion years of evolution have produced an image of biology encoded into the space of natural proteins. Here we show that language models trained at scale on evolutionary data can gen...

Whoa! When a large language of life model generates a protein equivalent to ~500 million years of evolution.

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Larger than the great fire of London, which resulted in laws against wooden houses & for fire resistant architecture

Could be an AI / data harvesting co? That would explain no contact.

This is what LLMs solve except you can replace "I" with "anyone"

🧵 Today with @polymathicai.bsky.social and others we're releasing two massive datasets that span dozens of fields - from bacterial growth to supernova!

We want this to enable multi-disciplinary foundation model research.
