When you pop out? That would be birth, but it's defined based on conception. I don't know enough biology of early development to know whether there's actually a problem, but what I liked about the definition was how airtight it is, if there's any holes I want to know. Using conception instead of birth might have been better.

If you're a male at conception, you're a male at birth and vice versa in 99.9999% of whatever circumstances. Stop letting the minute exceptions that prove the rule guide your thought processes.

In terms of medicine AI is great for areas like radiology where it can pick up abnormalities on scans.

Another major advantage now that we can code specific protein production through RNA (DNA vaccines were too easily degraded due to lack of protection inside the body) is AI can examine the multitude of protein sequence and folding options and determine the most efficient sequence out of millions or billions of options.
KISS is true even when designing instructions informing the body what protien to produce to counter rare disease. For example if the body fails to produce a specific protein due to genetic fault, the introduction of the shortest, simplest instruction through a mRNA vaccine can solve parents needing to feed a baby every hour to prevent the death due to malnutrition.

By using AI, what would have taken billions of dollars in research and the dedication of knowledgeable individuals can be cut down immensely.

There are solvable problems with our current technology level that have yet been unexplored due to the limited profitability. AI can cut down the required investment so that those affected will have great improvement in their lives, and big pharma could reasonably produce these without major hits to profits.

Unrelated: Stargate. Freedom to state your views and the truths. It's amazing how quickly things can turn from 1984 to an optimistic future. Godspeed Teflon Don.

The plan was Vance, Vivek, and Elon, but lord knows that's out the window. Don Jr. Ain't no Dolan. DeSantis got sabotaged. So right now, the plan is just hoping Vance is good and gains enough ground. Vance has been a remarkably good public speaker. The people who watched the Vance and Walz debate liked him a lot, sides be damned. So we're off to a lead somewhat since Elon and Vivek died on the H1B Hill and DeSantis decided to wear heels. Bottom line is, we have 4 years. Someone will turn up and Vance can fill the shoes if he absolutely has to.

Heck people are loving Homan...I'd consider voting for Homalander.

I doubt Homan has any interest in being a politician. The man is on a crusade, and doesn't care about anything but getting the illegals out and keeping them out.

AI is going to continue to be a very big deal to people who use it the correct way, as a specialized tool to do very specific things. MBAs and NEETs who want AI to be their new robot slaves will continue to be disappointed

I think treating it as a tool is good way to look at it honestly. Anybody relying on it to be some fantasy 'do-anything' magic is asking for disaster.

Ok ok, but at conception you have chromosomes and nothing else, you're ages away from producing gametes of any size; the wording implies you should be able to differentiate at conception (and even that that's when you should do so) but only mentions a test which would not help at that stage.

Glad some reporters had sense and talked about Ukraine and Russia.
The comment made about deaths being reported as less, as well the government being at fault, were highly interesting.

This and the H1B comments were really more like a pitch to a company than an announcement, at least seeing Sam Altman being a weird little freak on stage was worth it though.

The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.

The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman.

Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements.

As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle.

This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services.

All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.
