On “Don't worry about global population collapse”

Wars don't just appear out of thin air. There were a lot of incentives for countries to engage in war. Cloning doesn't really benefit anyone and doing cloning requires a ton of funding and grants and ethics boards reviews. If you're interested in the history of human cloning (and where that field of research is trending towards), I'd recommend watching this video 1. Full human cloning is somewhat pointless however the research has lead to innovations in stem cell research which does have real benefits for things like organ transplants. 1 link to this video

On “Johnson and Johnson sues researchers who linked talc to cancer”

…hugging face and all these "open" language models makes it much easier to learn, test, tweak and improve things without a master's degree in data engineering.). It's a grimy area to research even as a pastime. There's a lot of recorded practices both in research and production that makes you question how low can a person go for money 1: link 2: link to this video…

On “Argonne National Lab is attempting to replicate LK-99”

...or the next BobbyBroccoli special like the one on Hwang Woo-suk, the man who faked human cloning ( link to this video ). Not claiming the researchers of LK99 are intentionally faking their results, by the way!
