Can I get 1,000 followers by posting about what I find interesting and is related to the Nobel Prize? I don't think so. But maybe there are reasons to do it anyway. Update Tuesday and Friday

Today I saw the ceremony when Emmanuelle Charpentier become honourable citizen of my home town.
Charming enough she said the snow up here creaked: "Crispr", "Crispr" under her shoes.

Vad det nu beror på så får jag erkänna att jag hade svårt med hon i drönarhjärt, eftersom hon upplevdes ytlig och sexuellt motiverad. Men inte för att hon var stark.

I'm quite sure the phrase "sex work" is little bit controversial but that was what the AI used, and it was negative to it.

Let my Chat Mistral sing what your ChatGPT want to say. I asked Mistral about this and it compared US AI to a library that didn't had books about controversial subjects like, abortion or sex work.

About using LLMs as critics. I had a written dialogue that mentioned sex. No details. I uploaded it to le chat mistral and it reviewed my writing. I got curious if chatgpt should be ok with it. No, it refused to deal with the text. It is stereotypic that the French are less sensitive to the subject

The 2025 Physics Nobel Prize was awarded for macroscopic quantum tunneling. What is this and what is it good for? I have a brief summary.

As a commentary on anti-Semitism, I years ago wrote a poem that mentioned "Golem made of graphene". Graphene is Nobel Prize awarded discovery. Is it one of those Nobel Prize awarded to a scientist with Jewish background? Well, Wikipedia tells me it's not that simple. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_G...

According to @qi.com, there is a connection between the James Bond theme song and Nobel Prize-winning writer V.S. Naipaul. His name always came up if anyone accused the prize of being political: ‘If it had been political, they wouldn't have given it to a critic of Islam.’ tinyurl.com/3mu5thke

As a layman there are reasons I shouldn't comment this. And obviously I don't want war, but if that happens, please let him first build a battleship that can be sunk by drones from a middle income country. The world apparently need to relearn that it ends badly when you give power to men like that.

Long story short, everyday I have Obsidian tell me to spend ~2 hour on my project: a novel (2 * 25 min), on poetry (25 min), and on python (25 min). Plus I take a course in statistic in life science. Should I focus more?

I realised that it would be cheaper to buy melatonin from Germany than from my local pharmacy. Most of the time, it's perfectly fine to be European.

It's about invention? Clarification I guess the possible you will accept for example gene editing, is close to zero? So not any innovation?

I remember seen someone pointing out that dihydrogen monoxide has a pH of 7, and that's way higher than for example the pH for nitric acid. You hear how dangerous that sounds!

Elizabeth Blackburn shared a Nobel Prize for her work on telomeres. In 2004 she was dismissed from a government position, perhaps due to her criticism of Bush’s stem cell policies. Safe to say that in the U.S. science community, that's now the good old days. If you like this, please like and share.

It's not often you change your mind after hearing one argument, but I did. The thing is that argument doesn't work on those people? 2/2
