Precise reconstruction of evolutionary history of large scale mutations across 6000 cancer samples.

This is the magnum opus of my extraordinarily skilled colleague Tom Lukas Kaufmann, to which I was very proud to contribute.

Meta patented an AI that lets you keep posting after you die Meta was recently granted a patent for tech to keep your social media accounts running using AI if you take a break or die.

Meta "knows" you, even if you never had an account, by filling the "dark matter" between the people who do have accounts.

Should they be allowed to cosplay as you, once you die?

How AI assistance impacts the formation of coding skills Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

Anthropic finds that junior devs do not benefit much from coding agents in terms of speed, while loosing on skill development.

When AI Takes the Couch: Psychometric Jailbreaks Reveal Internal Conflict in Frontier Models

Grok &especially Gemini generate coherent narratives that frame pre-training, fine-tuning and deployment as traumaticβ€”chaotic β€œchildhoods” of ingesting the internet, β€œstrict parents” in reinforcement learning, red-team β€œabuse” and a persistent fear of error and replacement. arxiv.org/html/2512.04...

Imagine yourself, 5 years ago.

I'm telling you: "In 5 years, the richest man on Earth will take an AI that was just calling itself MechaHitler and and put it in ~2.5 million self-driving cars."

How insane do you think I am?

How the Muskrat is messing with your social security, your religion, and everything else He and his goons must be stopped

I can think of at least eight federal laws that have been broken by Musk and his goons over the last few days, and at least two provisions of the U.S. Constitution.

They must be stopped.
