When you have no concept of how people engage with music

I am not joking when I say this.
Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.
Al music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all Al music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.
Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

A really great story my team just published on gene editing. 🧬🧪 What is it, and how are scientists at @jax.org using it to transform genetic medicines? The story covers CRISPR vs base editing vs prime editing and has some very cool animations!

What is gene editing, and how are JAX researchers using it to transform genetic medicines?

CRISPR, base editing, and prime editing give scientists different ways to change DNA, from disrupting genes to correcting individual letters and rewriting stretches of genetic code.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
