Florida sues OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, claiming company concealed serious risks of ChatGPT. Why Florida? And why all of a sudden? I've read that this is a way to sideline the company paving the way for the ascendancy of xAI, to help Elon Musk. Sama has certainly got to be sick of spending so much time in the courtrooms and less time developing the next GPT, vLLM or whatever China is developing. They're not spending time defending lawsuits like American AI companies.

Claude Opus 4.8: Capabilities and Reactions. I'm glad someone else feels the same way about 4.8. It certainly performs better on the benchmarks, but somehow, I prefer working with 4.7 better.

I fixed the system prompt in 4.8 to make it more in line with what I'm used to.

While some of those changes (28.8%) relate to how often or how much people vape, a much greater portion (66.6%) is linked to the type of flavors and devices they use. The findings underscore the role of flavor and device type in the biological effects of vaping and could have regulatory implications as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) moves to approve marketing of flavored vapes.
It's just in oral epithelial cells, but holy crap, I'll bet vapers don't know this. Drinking coffee affect gene expression, too, but it's more like 140 to 300 genes. And other studies measure it differently. So it's not a direct comparison. But I'd be a little concerned.

A University System Went All In on A.I. Now It’s Tearing Itself Apart. Around the turn of the century, there was a demand to learn about computers, and Borders Bookstores had a section on computer-related books. But next to the tech magazines, the books that were there were about how to use Excel, Word, or Access. These books replaced the ones that taught coding, such as DOS, Turbo Pascal, Visual Basic, C+ and Java. So you weren't really learning computer science. You were just learning how to use computer tools. In the same way, kids just learn how to operate chat bots and create bespoke graphics and videos. And vibe code some app that they hope will make them rich. But that's not really learning AI, and they have no marketable skills. No wonder they hate it.

Nice to hear from Doc Seals again.  How DuckDuckGo Can Be a Hero. Some people dislike DDG because they get some of their search feeds from Bing, but Bing has come a long way since its early days and the results are quite good. Their bad rep just hasn't left them, and people still think of how it was during the Ballmer era. It's on par with the others now, and its interesting that although reviewers can't really find major differences between Google and Bing, they just can't come right out and say that Bing is a good alternative to Google. But few will ever use Bing as a verb. It's really too bad that they dropped API support.

Portland ranks near bottom of North American cities in new downtown perception survey. No surprises here. I haven't been to downtown Portland in ages. 
Among North American cities, Portland ranked last in the share of respondents who described downtown as “beautiful,” with only 3% agreeing with the statement. The city also tied St. Louis for the lowest rating on “vibrant,” at 58%.

Just 62% of respondents said Portland is “enjoyable to walk around,” tying the city with Baltimore for the second-lowest score in that category. St. Louis ranked lowest at 58%.

Portland also ranked near the bottom on cultural identity and inclusiveness measures. Only 47% of respondents considered the city “iconic,” the third-lowest score among North American cities surveyed, ahead of only Phoenix and San Jose.

On whether downtown feels “welcoming to everyone,” Portland scored 58%, tying Baltimore for third-lowest rank.

Teclistamab extends remission in relapsed myeloma, with 70% progression-free at 18 months. Now this is truly remarkable, as anyone who has taken care of refractory myeloma can tell you. To stable disease at 18 months in refractory disease is incredible. Overall survival was improved as well. You still have to deal with cytokine release syndrome, but that's not unusual in myeloma, especially in people who have experienced daratumumab. But adverse events of grade 3 or 4 occurred in 84.9% of teclistamab recipients, so definitely, there is risk, as grade 4 toxicity usually lands you in the hospital at least for a while. Paper here.

Scientists say they’ve reversed brain aging with a simple nasal spray. 

The therapy relies on microscopic biological particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs). These tiny structures naturally transport genetic material between cells. In this case, they were loaded with microRNAs, molecules that help regulate important biological processes in the brain.

"MicroRNAs act like master regulators," Narayana said. "They help modulate and regulate many gene and signaling pathways in the brain."

Researchers delivered the EVs through a nasal spray, allowing the treatment to bypass the brain's protective barrier and travel directly into brain tissue.
The secret sauce is in the microRNAs.  "According to the researchers, the therapy suppressed inflammatory systems such as the NLRP3 inflammasome and the cGAS-STING signaling pathways, both of which are strongly linked to aging related brain inflammation." Paper here.

Our broken healthcare system. Anthem BCBS recently announced this new payment plan they developed with a fintech company called Paytient. It appears that Anthem is offering patients a no-interest loan for their healthcare expenses, kinda like Klarna, but there is no extra interest cost. The fintech gets paid by Anthem. So what does Anthem get out of this? Clients will not avoid care and will adhere to their medication prescriptions more compliantly. Members will be happier and will stick with Anthem and their quality metrics will be higher. Bad debt will be reduced. It's shocking to find a company that actually cares enough to help their clientele this way. But if the healthcare system were done the right way, it wouldn't be necessary to even come up with this solution.
