Moreover, it is possible that such a variant could also have capacity for severe disease outside of the respiratory tract. Unlike other influenza variants, H5 viruses (of which this avian…
I would have cared about your opinion if you didn’t use the most overused word of 2026 in “slop”. And I still PR any code AI writes cause if it causes a regression or incident, guess what my name is still on it. So yes. It’s a tool. Oh and I have solar that covers my electric costs 🤷
I learned engineering with CS background as part of my degree and is not well versed with aeronautics or medicine and would never respond to questions on those unknown subjects when asked. Wondering why critical corpus that endanger human lives are used for training models within Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Meta and why are these AI labs not…
I get some enjoyment from keeping up with news but why do we get a post like this from openAI then immediately after get the same thing from Anthropic and vice versa like it’s a single entity deciding what the next topic is to relay to us simple folk. Exactly the same thing with the Huggingface incident. If this is so important to them why has it…
