“In the study, researchers looked at 12 brain samples from people who had died with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. These brains contained up to 10 times more plastic by weight than healthy samples.” Wow


Yes, it will pollute the world with mediocre art, mediocre writing, mediocre code, mediocre music. Human generated will go up in value.

Wrong. AI is terrible at all writing tasks - apart from synopsis. Even then it riddles any synopsis it generates with terrible cliches. It’s a mediocrity machine that can only handle very small tasks.

Shocked to discover @withalma_ 's privacy policy. In therapy you want a safe space to share. Alma's privacy policy is says that they can share your most intimate details with any gov agency for any reason. It's the opposite of "we'll work hard to protect your confidentiality".

Time to challenge abortion bans on 1st Amendment grounds. Not every faith believes life begins at conception. If a baker may not be forced to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding on the basis of religious freedom, surely a woman can’t be forced to give birth nytimes.com/2022/05/14/opi…

I am inspired by curiosity. That is what drives me. So let us expand the scope & scale of consciousness so that we may aspire to understand the Universe.

schools should include a class called Truth Is Hard, where u get bombarded with examples of confused eyewitnesses, incorrect public outrages, studies that failed to replicate, super convincing arguments that fall apart with one additional fact u didn't expect, etc.

Why Russia will lose this war? Much of the "realist" discourse is about accepting Putin's victory, cuz it's *guaranteed*. But how do we know it is? I'll argue that analysts 1) overrate Russian army 2) underrate Ukrainian one 3) misunderstand Russian strategy & political goals🧵

Over the last two months I've read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality. I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests. Here's a thread on what I learned 🧵 #energytwitter

Ppl who are real into astrology/conspiracies/woo beliefs *really* trigger me, but it's not because of the beliefs themselves, it's what it indicates about the person. To me, it implies a profound lack of curiosity in checking to see if their beliefs are true. 1/

When I tweet about rapid tests, I get replies saying “but… they are expensive, how dare you suggest this” etc I want to be clear: These are PUBLIC HEALTH tools No Person should have to directly pay for a COVID test I tweet to change policy & these should be free to people!

Well, I guess it’s starting sooner than I anticipated: several laboratories are starting to sell NFTs as alternate/additional sources of research funding. We can expect “first ever images of X down the microscope” NFTs, etc. before long. Wild! #NFT #science #Biology #BTC
