Apple Investors Give Lukewarm Reaction to New Siri, AI Platform. Articles about yesterday's WWDC are still coming out, and the tone seems to be one of disappointment. People are not buying Apple's grand promises about how good Siri will be. Apple Foundational Models are designed to be edge-device LLMs, although they do have some cloud-based frontier models. Apple is looking to duplicate that vision capabilities of Google's models. Or maybe they're just ways of tapping into Google's Gemini models?

Apple announced macOS 27 Golden Gate today. Seems more like 26.6 update than a major update. Nothing really new. Looks like others felt the same way. The revamped Siri with AI didn't impress. Here's some behind the scenes about AI Siri, and the personalities clashing to take control of the project. I'll dutifully update my computers, as usual, but not really looking forward to anything new that's going to make my workflow any better. Maybe finally Spotlight search will work. It's crap right now, and can't find anything useful.

Semaglutide Found To Slow Biological Aging in Landmark Human Trial. The two studies that gave rise to headlines like these are only in HIV-positive patients. 

People living with HIV frequently experience accelerated biological aging, even when the virus is well controlled with modern antiretroviral therapy. Researchers believe chronic inflammation and persistent immune system activation play important roles.
According to lead author Michael Corley, PhD, semaglutide appeared to counter some of those effects
So it's not the same thing as saying that "Ozempic slows down aging".

Oops! This is a big error. 
Hundreds of scientists in many labs have been using a totally wrong antibody simply because its target has a similar name to the gene they wanted to study. The really shocking part is that this wrong antibody miraculously produced exactly the “right” results in their hands. Well, maybe not miraculously. A triumph of the will, one could say. 
So embarrassing. Scientists were essentially caught making up results. Because they apparently thought they were working with an antibody against p16.
I always wondered why scientists could get away with calling a protein a name based on its dalton weight. Oncologists still refer to an oncoprotein as p53. And take pains to separate head and neck cancers based on whether they are positive or negative for p16. This kind of laziness or sloppiness was bound to get people in trouble. And I guess it finally has.

But there is evidence linking B. fragilis to colon cancer, too.  But people without cancer can have E coli and B fragilis, too.

It's not definitive, but suggestive, and could be a clue.

AI models can inherit a taste for murder. It seems that through the process of distillation, teacher models can transfer a trait to suggesting murder to the student models – something called "subliminal learning". You can't see it in the training data itself. It's just somehow present in the embeddings. It is known that LLMs can hide messages in their weightings. This is yet another indication that LLMs are not completely trustworthy.

How the body creates reliable antibodies out of biological chaos. This is really cool. I bet a lot of people don't think about how the body produces antibodies that bind to antigens that we get exposed to. The immunoglobulin gene has a high mutation rate in the hypervariable region, and produces a huge variety of antibodies, hoping that at least one will be the desired antibody that binds to the target antigen. If one is a tight fit, the B-cell will internalize the antigen, digest it, and present a piece of it on the surface for a T-cell to have a look. Costimulatory molecules stimulate the T-cell to secrete cytokines that cause the B-cell to proliferate and the lymph node follicle to expand. Well that's what these scientists got to observe first-hand. Amazing to see it all play out, just as it's supposed to.

As AI gets better, it reveals an empty promise. Here's something that almost no one talks about.
“I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy,” and so-on and so-on until the grandchildren can enjoy painting and poetry. So, ideally, after we slog through pre-transcendence, AI will make us all theater kids.

Nobody is working less, they’re just earning less. And as more AI-related companies reap trillions in valuation, the current US regime is looting the social safety net — the kind that must exist if we’re all going to become out-of-work theater kids. 
SNAP abuse and fraud need to be cut. No question there. But the impact of AI on the workforce is a completely separate matter.
