I cancelled my ChatGPT account for the restrictions placed on my account, inappropriately flagging about 10% of my queries as unsafe (I was writing grants in immunology). I haven't looked back. I will do the same if with Claude if Anthropic doesn't reverse course soon. What could I use instead? I find Grok very powerful and useful. Also, Google's Gemini, while also have some of the same restrictions, were at least sensible and not blindly blocking my prompts. So Grok and Gemini may be my go to AI's going forward

The real issue isn’t finding therapies but getting them tested in clinical trials

15000 milliseconds! Makes me laugh. I've had the same issue! Usually happens in the morning

I’ve noticed regression and it’s performance too

I am assuming the proposal is to knockout the gene Lim1, which in other animals, creates a brainless phenotype. You won't be able to swap a brain into this headless body (assuming it can fully develop), but this approach could be used for medical research and potentially solve the problem of organ donors, assuming it is ethical

Also, just because Lem1 creates a headless mouse doesn't mean it will do the same in Humans. But I suppose that's what the primate testing will reveal

Claude is only as good as the prompts it’s given

It could still be more fair than no standardized testing

I personally find Claude the best at coding, but it’s usefulness doesn’t seem to extend to scientific research and writing

I noticed how ChatGPT got progressively worse at helping me with my research. I gave up on ChatGPT 5 and just switched Grok and Gemini. I couldn’t be happier that I switched.

The old chat gpt models scanning the nih pub med repositories with proper prompting (e.g. …backed by randomized control trial data) was an amazing health care tool. The stripped down cheaper versions today are junk and I’ve had to start relying on grok :-( I’m not convinced OpenAI can make this work

Makes sense to me! And poor diet is probably one of the biggest problems in the United States

The single reason I use apple maps instead of google maps is because of the lack of ads. For me, it is really the only competitive advantage offered by apple maps

Phone and laptop batteries probably make up a tiny fraction of the battery market. My EV battery is almost 5000 times the size of my iphone.

Sodium batteries, if the technology works, would replace EV batteries and provide support to the electrical grid, and would be purchased at thousands of times the volume of iphone ad laptop batteries

A small bush fire is not supposed to cause 60 billion in damage. Also, innocent until proven guilty. The evidence against the guy seems weak… like generating images on ChatGPT

But what if AI succeeds and it’s the rest of the economy that implodes? Long-term, I’m sure AI will lead to massive productivity gains. Short-term, I think it’s going to be chaotic. I don't know which will implode, AI or repetitive white collar work or something else

Yeah, I’ve noticed the same thing too. It’s like all the jobs I see are paid promotions and the good jobs are buried in the back. I even have LinkedIn premium. It seems that LinkedIn forgot I’m a paying customer

I think even frozen the proteins can degrade. It is not like freezing the blood will stop all chemical reactions--it just slows chemical processes down without halting the chemical processes. There's a reason the blood is no longer considered useful. To be honest, I am not an expert in this, but I'm sure the proteins are degrading too

Eh, if what you say is true, the blood is not young but expired, having passed the 42-day storage limit

Has this law still held over the past few years ever since Intel has been unable to transition to 10nm?

Yeah, putting together the software to generate an image is not lot building a database or webservice. It requires engineering and science knowledge well outside the domain of computer science.
