>"We see a future where intelligence is autility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter” Sam Altman

I always considered jokingly that I am "selling" my intelligence when I work for a company. This clarifies that my perception wasn't far off.

Even without any heavy metal staining, you would end up seeing some structures. This approach allows looking at unstained / native tissue.

Sure it makes a few things easier to execute when you have an agent running locally. But many people fear what such an agent might do under a wrong or misunderstood prompt to your local system. There is also mistrust of how it may access your data locally compared to a more controlled scenario where you specifically choose which files it has access to. So, no, “everyone” “should” not necessarily be using more CC. It depends on the tasks in hand and risks associated

I think the main reason to ban was that the email provider refused to share identity of the sender. Still doesn't justify the actions

I'd imagine its easy to set up independent platforms for different users. Organoids are pretty easy to develop. Large costs come from Multi Electrode Array recording devices that can be >30K.

>So other than training ever-larger models on the same internet data, how can they make better LLMs? Training a multi-modal model that can integrate audio, visual, text and all sorts of data modalities to human level capabilities still remains an clear challenge. The bottleneck here is not the lack of data imo.

Always amazes me to see that society as a whole has been and continues to be willing to use public (or private) funding to support natural sciences. In the short term, one often faces the argument about the meaningless of doing things just for the sake of knowing or understanding nature. But in the long run, attracting scientists and engineers to work on such problems must (insert my optimism) add a significant value to our society as a whole.

This tissue was from epileptic patient. So we can not rule out that weird things are related to disease.
