Kinda AI psychosis 🤣
Fascinating to see Bipartisan House lawmakers introduce the AI Kill Switch Act, which would grant the US DHS authority to shut down or throttle AI models that it deems dangerous

Also fascinating https://littletech.org/
The Little Tech Association, a new group of ~200 companies across the startup community, including Y Combinator, urges Trump Admin not to ban Chinese open-weight AI for not to cut off access

Meanwhile china keeps shipping despite being accused of distillation

Research shouldn’t be limited by the language you speak or the keyboard you type on.

We’re partnering with https://t.me/ScholarXIV to bring Addis AI’s speech and real-time models into academic research.

Voice dictation, research insights you can listen to, and eventually deeper access to research in Amharic and Afaan Oromo.

Excited to show you what we’re building together.

Open Frontier Model for Africa.
How?

Pharmaceutical R&D productivity has steadily decreased since 1960, despite advances in basic science. In the last decade, the deceleration in pharmaceutical productivity seems to have ameliorated, due to a combination of factors including an increase in predictive validity (through e.g., genetics), but also due a larger share of efforts being directed at oncology and rare diseases, where the burden for approval is often lower due to the high unmet need.

In biopharma specifically, one great bottleneck is clinical trials (I know I keep banging on about this), which today consume something like seven years and cost more than a billion dollars per drug. And trials are not a mere formality. They generate precisely the kind of data that would train better models in the first place: human data, which is ultimately irreplaceable. (Wonder why U.S is signing healthcare data deal with African countries...)
