A four panel comic, from left to right:

1960s
LIFE IS BASED ON DNA, WHICH USES RNA TO MAKE PROTEINS THAT DO STUFF.

1980s
ALSO, THE RNA DOES SOME STUFF ITSELF, WHICH IS WEIRD.

2000s
THERE ARE 50
MANY KINDS OF RNA. IT'S DOING SO MUCH STUFF!

2020s
LIFE IS A SEETHING MASS OF RNA THAT SOMETIMES USES DNA TO TAKE NOTES.

WHAT DO THE PROTEINS DO?
ERRANDS FOR RNA.

It’s an RNA world. RNA is posited to be the first genetic material, arising 4 billion years ago. It can store information and act as an enzyme. Eventually, it duplicated its information into a more stable form, DNA.

It's either deeply unserious or literal attempts to mislead public opinion on what the technology is ffs

I'm pretty sure I know. They aren't. We're not going to really be able to make a lot of progress in dealing with the implications of this tech unless and until we get rid of all this "woo-woo" talk about LLMs. Anthropic pushing this line is PR, unserious.

French authorities have just taken down hundreds of Russian disinformation websites aimed at sowing division and installing far-right candidates in the coming elections. Most of these sites were imitations of popular and trusted news outlets, populated with Ai content.

Just for kicks, I used an online pdf metadata extraction thing (idk what it's worth) and it seems it gives the date of creation as 30th January 2026 (2026-01-30). This suggests that the file has maybe been "made" into this pdf to be shown to the public. So digital forensics not much use here?

Why sea otters are climate heroes Sea otters help kelp forests thrive, boosting carbon storage and ocean health. Their appetite makes them unlikely climate champions.

Ghislaine Maxwell has made it abundantly clear that she will continue protecting pedophiles and sex traffickers until she is granted clemency by Donald Trump.

She doesn’t care about the crimes that she has committed and is completely unremorseful.
