Moderna's seasonal investigational influenza vaccine, mRNA-1010, has been submitted & accepted for review in EU, Canada & Australia. Kennedy's FDA now officially refuses to review the vaccine. "Refusal to review the submission is inconsistent with feedback at pre-Phase 3 & pre-submission" #medsky ⬇️
NEW: The F.D.A. refused to accept an application from Moderna for its mRNA flu vaccine.
Its reason: The agency did not think Moderna compared the new vaccine to one of the best flu shots available. The company spent $750M+ on a 41,000 person study.

Really interesting new research from Anthropic. Turns out that as models become smarter, their OOD goals actually become more incoherent, not less?

Can you imagine yourself or any minimally decent person you know trying to cultivate a friendship with someone who’s been convicted of sex crimes against minors? It’s such an abysmally low bar, and apparently one none of these folks could clear.
