Based on the linked paper, it reads like they took an existing open weight LLM, tacked on a scheme to parse and output genomics data, and finetuned it a bit. It’s the same approach chatgpt and other big-name models use for reading and producing images, but applied to a different data format.
I don’t disagree with the general statement… but this was specifically done with an LLM, so it seems like a moot point?
They’re skipping that whole “human trial” thing by going for a compassionate use exemption

With ya all the way on that front 🤙
There’s absolutely nothing whatsoever forcing these companies to use GNIS names, even for users within the US; they’re doing so purely out of their own discretion.
Outside of federal contract work, you can use whatever names you want in a mapping product.
BGN decisions are not required to be adopted by nonfederal domestic entities, such as private company applications (e.g., Google Maps and Apple Maps); however, some nonfederal entities have chosen to do so or generally have a policy to defer to GNIS nomenclature.
Un día de ventana abierta
Mi vecino vino a verme
Estaba llena de desilusión
Me miró en los ojos, y me dijó
Ya dijimos no, pero el sí estaba en todo
Todo lo que hay
On a day of open windows
My neighbor came to see me, filled with disillusionment
He looked me in the eyes and told me:
We already said no
Yet the “yes” lingers on
In everything that is
From Chilean-American artist Nicolas Jaar
(The Yes/No refers to the referendum vote that nominally ended the Pinochet dictatorship.)
She died three years later, and I can’t help but think that was also related. The WH press pool was her life.
Shocking that a 92 year old woman would just up and die like that.
You wanna keep Mitch McConnell around too? He’s been in the senate so long; it would be a shame to make him quit.
I see where you’re coming from, but that’s mostly a problem with trucks, vans, and SUVs. Let’s stop incentivizing manufacturers to pump out tanks first, then we can talk.
The increasing digitization of auto manufacturing has led to all sorts of second-order effects, including vastly more difficult repairs (ask your local mechanic if you don’t believe me), massive invasions of consumer privacy (see linked expose), and generally made cars far more brittle.
You’re one step away from advocating for the telescreens from 1984.
I’ll say it: Ditching ABS is horrifically stupid, but mandating backup cameras and backseat alarms is equally stupid in the opposite direction.
E: The article is talking about full-auto emergency braking and not ABS. I never thought I’d say these words, but I’m with Ted Cruz on this one.
Yeah, totally agreed.
It’s a tough balancing act to filter the snake oil while taking viable moonshots, but I think that’s a niche that the US regulatory regime has generally done well on, all things considered.
