    I actually do pottery so when they said ceramic comb structure I immediately knew they had to maintain pyre temperatures to keep things at a cone (whatever) so it was red hot and sticky. Super cool and shoutouts humanity for coming together and basically just fixing acid rain! We're definitely bumping up on some great filters here, glad that one didn't get us.

    Pretty good, albeit very wordy, article that kinda has one thing to say and stretched it out.

    My main gripe is they aren't talking about working in biology but specifically human medical biological work. Their argument is also a bit odd for being simultaneously very emotional and very logical. "You should do this because it benefits you" is alongside "mother nature giggling and gnashing you through her teeth like a cat with a baby mouse".

    Worth a skim, thanks for the post!

    The weights aren't stateless, the weights are the state. "This model has no state" would mean it's not a model, or at least it's a purely theoretical model without real data being used.

    Isn't that better? Actors play off each other and you'd want the AI and human actors to be able to play together.
