AI models are just complex mathematical functions/software and they do not have the capability to access, modify, or control computer systems or networks. There are technical boundaries and I doubt the team at OpenAI just let the AI have full control. This gets filed under marketing fluff.

I don't know why you got voted down. I am also skeptical about this bold claim because AI models are just complex mathematical functions/software and they do not have the capability to access, modify, or control computer systems or networks. It's most likely marketing fluff.

Mouthwash kills the good bacteria as well. Better off using chips gum to stimulate natural saliva which helps in reducing bad bacteria.

I like to think of a virus like code. It’s nothing more than a series of instructions in a file that, when executed (by the cell), does something. Is code complex enough to be called life?

We call self replicating programs viruses when they're unpleasant and quine as curiosities.

Is the game of life, life?

Does it surprise you that despite many working from home, the world in general kept on trucking along? Of course CO2 PPM kept rising. Where people work isn't the only cause of carbon emissions.

You could read the article that you had to scroll past to look at the chart.

Can we see a change in the CO2 record because of COVID-19?: https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/covid2.html

So?

So lockdown was a liberal hoax! It never actually happened and there never really were any restrictions.

You joke, but I've legitimately seen people try to argue that "we never really locked down" and the restrictions were never that stringent.

This is great. How is "disputed" calculated? (hopefully not news babble but another paper disputing it?)

Step 1. VD3 blood test is a must to determine whether one is deficient. If you work indoors all day there is a high chance you are deficient. Your GP can help you boost it up using 70K IU prescription VD3.

Step 2. Then maintenance. This is all a trial and error and more blood tests. 800 IU / the national recommendation is a joke. Dr. Fauci takes 6,000 IU each day. (see FOIA docs with his email saying what he takes).

I work in tech and take 10 IU each day and have maintained a ~ 60 ng/mL.

Anything over 50 ng/mL shows benefits in fighting respiratory viruses and keeping mortality close to zero. ref: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34684596/#&gid=article-figur...

A lot of folks aren’t open to change and see change and experiments as frightening yielding biased conclusions.

It’s fine to have opinions but drawing bold conclusions is best done with factual data over a longer time horizons.

Not sure if you've heard of the McNamara fallacy, but it's something I see a lot on HN.

Point is, the twitter saga is happening now. I'm sure a retroactive analysis of twitter's financials, user growth, activity, etc. would be fascinating ten years from now... but at that point it would have become an academic curiosity. Perhaps a curiosity we can learn from, but in that timespan the tech industry might be totally different.

It's thus silly to brush away obvious qualitative observations and dismiss conclusions from them as irrelevant. Worth noting their limitations, sure.

A bit silly to call this whole saga an "experiment" either. Musk didn't even want Twitter. He decided to axe a good chunk of the folks arbitrarily. By many accounts, a good chunk of the folks left don't want to be there either. Is it an experiment? If so, it's one of the least controlled and poorly set up experiments I've ever seen.

Spot on. A Product (which most engineers can hack together) shouldn't be confused with a Business.
