Why shouldn’t they have long term benefits for researchers?

Reminds me a bit of when CRISPR got big, people were worried to no end about potential dangers, designer babies, bioterrorism (“everybody can make a killer virus in their garage now”) etc. In reality, it has been a huge leap forward for molecular biology and has vastly helped research, cancer treatment, drug development and many other things. I think machine learning could have a similar impact. It’s already being used in development of new drugs, genomics, detection of tumours just to name a few

I mean yes, but it can be VERY useful in these narrow laboratory use cases

Not wanting to be bombarded by a foreign country’s political antics and sociopathic leaders == sticking your head in the sand? Interesting take!

Thunderbird has always been crap. Betterbird is truly better
