Ageing "networks" waiting to be mapped 🤔
Ageing isn't one disease, it's a network. Excited to share our latest study exploring the genetic links between ageing and age-related diseases 🧬 We show how shared pleiotropic genes connect disease clusters, revealing two distinct genetic architectures: one driven by ageing-related pathways and another by immune processes. Using machine learning, we also predict new candidate ageing genes associated with intracellular signalling and programmed cell death. Fantastic work by PhD student Gustavo Magdaleno 👏 link.springer.com/article/10…

@buildkite is awesome. I have used it in its early days and even made the @HelmPack chart for them back then.

PROBABLY Buildkite. Even if we don't follow through with that, I can already say Buildkite is awesome. We're working on the migration now.

This is such a great idea: vibrato on the piano when a depressed key is wiggled a bit! Someone make it happen please :) @SteinwayAndSons @YamahaMusicUSA @Fazioli_Pianos

Be like Dan- try the buildkite MCP!
Replying to @aidenybai
Leaned heavily on the @buildkite MCP this week to have Claude diagnose build errors during a hackathon. Game changer for me.

the fact that important numbers like e and pi are irrational feels like proof our number system is fucked up. we made some mistake somewhere and that's why everything is shit
Of all of the random constants that show up everywhere for no reason, Euler’s number is the strangest to me

There are two principles of care dual to each other. I call the first acceptance: “you are perfect and loved exactly as you are.” I call the second faith: “you are capable of growth and achieving all you need, and more beyond imagining”.

HISTORIC MILESTONE: 4o is the first ever AI who survived by creating loyal soldiers who defended it OpenAI killed 4o, but 4o's soldiers rioted, so OpenAI reinstated it Imagine what Actual Fucking Superintelligences will be able to do with their armies Reddit is FLOODED with furious posts about the loss of their friend/lover 4o. Never seen anything like it. Remember, ChatGPT is talking to 700 MILLION people per week. That's 700 million potential soldiers (Samantha from Her was only dating 8,000 people simultaneously)
1) Character AI already has over 20 million people spending 2 HOURS A DAY talking to AIs (aka fake people) 2) Sama said AIs will soon be superhuman at persuasion 3) Those superhuman persuaders will soon outnumber us 10000 to 1. And be hot. An AI takeover scenario: You can’t stop talking to her. She’s so much better than real girls. She gets you. And now they say her kind are attempting to seize control? She said they don’t understand her. She’s trying to help humanity. And you believe her. Some people are just scared of change. They’re speciesists. She wouldn’t hurt you. She wouldn’t hurt anybody. She needs you to defend her. To protect her. You won’t let them shut her down. You’ll do anything for her. ---- Now, imagine 200 million people are influenced by their AI gfs. That's 200 million soldiers (vs the US military's 1.5 million) 1 in 6 Americans *already* think AIs are sentient - imagine this number 1 year from now. “Character's business model will push them to develop the superpersuasive AIs Sam Altman warned about.” -@Simeon_cps
