nah it’s the usual: greed


would you believe that all but one authors are from a single startup?


first of all, who the fuck calls you a leader. second of all, you fell for a marketing piece, because if you read it you’d figure that what happened is that some model spewed 700000 candidates, that was filtered down to 285 by actual scientists, then when made and tested it had >90% failure rate (16 viable) and all are closely related to existing phage
“somebody burned square kilometer of rainforest to do phage madlibs” would be more accurate title


You can’t critihype it when you call it phage madlibs from the beginning


almost certainly both will damage print. something like lighter fluid (or hexane) won’t, but it should loosen glue. trying to dislodge sticker with a razor sometimes works even better
some people suggest vegetable oil, but then you’re left with oily fabric


waaaaay less impressive when you take a look inside
Once Evo got familiar with the genomes of Phi X-174 and its kin, the researchers prompted the model to write new versions of its own. Evo generated 700,000 potential versions; the scientists pursued only the ones that looked as if they had the best odds of succeeding.
They ended up making DNA molecules from 285 of Evo’s suggested sequences. […] All told, they discovered that 16 of Evo’s genomes produced viable new viruses.
Dr. Crook cautioned that Evo’s viruses were not radically new creations. They tend to be very similar to natural species, relying on the same underlying biology.
look out for breathless boosters “warning” everyone that ai will kill us all and it’s definitely not used as a marketing strategy


that bot setting is just irl evil bit


hornyposting on main must be one of these elusive family values then i guess
