My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good."

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

Since finding one of these spiders earlier in the year I’ve kept an eye out for them. This is the third I see, and this one has a snack, possibly a gnat. Phoroncidia gira 🌿🌱

A spider with a red and yellow abdomen. The abdomen has three red spikes. It is about 3mm in diameter.

Allegedly strong selection on genome size b/c of nucleated red blood cells and high oxygen needs. Not sure I've heard what mechanism.

The fact that I get flagged as a bot at journals when doing a thorough lit search is super frustrating. Yes, I really do need to see 20 papers from your servers.

GAO Finds AHRQ Funds Were Illegally Withheld

AcademyHealth applauds GAO investigation, which validates the intentional collapse of AHRQ grantmaking that AcademyHealth has documented over the last 18 months.

This is why folks should not waste time designing the perfect and optimized system of higher education and R&D investment. That’s unnecessary when an underinvested system is under attack. We should start by setting core guiding objectives and tripling the investment, and adjust as needed.
