    It is amazing how fast it happened. Right now one of my main projects is fully running on DeepSeek flash. My reason was that I was blocked by both of the main US AI labs from worki…

    Oak Ridge huh? What other small town would be a target?

    I think I'm less bothered by the risk because I've actually used these systems to do biological research, to work in bioinformatics and to work in the lab. And while I think that t…

    My point is more about conflict of interest in Anthropic, and certain techpeople types thinking that biology is a useful scapegoat because biologists don't use or understand this t…

    Anyone can write out the code for a bad virus. You can go download it from an open repository. It's only through deep interface with the world that the idea for the bad virus turns…

    but that's what we use the agent "swarm" to do .. it's also not scarce. what's scarce is imagination.

    This is a major reason why I and a number of biologists I've talked to have canceled their anthropic accounts recently. Not working is not working.

    Tell us, what gives you that impression?

    There is nothing more surreal in AI chat than entering your own name and being told you are a banned topic. Open source models must win. There is no alternative.

    Extinction risk. From population genetics... Does Anthropic even employ biologists? It's magical thinking about a field that is poorly understood by their community.

    Finally, I can escape to paradise and work remote.

    I am also using these models to accelerate scientific discovery. Yes, they are making all the difference at the frontier. At least, they feel they are. The messy thing is that we s…

    Just remember that the will do clever but useless things to improve. Like changing the random seed as per autoresearch's hero image. lol! imo, out of the box thinking is needed.

    > Integrated Ralph Wiggum loops: looping capabilities for long-horizon tasks Imo, this shouldn't be embedded in the executor layer. Orchestration should handle this.

    poorly vibe coded. machines can check details easily, use them.

    Didn't OAI just try that 18 months ago?

    They do approximate any function... within the range they're trained on. And that range is human limited, at least today.

    I'm already living in this future. In a decent execution framework, with context management, memory via unix, and mechanisms for web search and access, local models are effectively…

    Lines of code are nothing. It's verification that creates value.

    But a graph, which provides a view at a certain level of resolution, can often be described in a few consise statements. That's why we make them, to get a view we can condense.
