This is one of your best, Bryn. Centering this around the concept of the molecule was a smart idea. Well done! ::high five::

Lovely piece, Bryn, as usual. I can’t help but think that it’s sad how many people don’t even have wisdom in hindsight. And yes, it’s horrifying - I was having this conversation around AI the other day- much more so than the potential science itself brings for destruction or hurt the ways that humans will bend science to their will

Thanks, Camille! I feel that way, too, about AI. Very fascinating applications - the one where it helps clinicians detect 20% more breast cancer cases? Wonderful stuff. The one where some hack uses it to capitalize on the backs of real creatives? Not so much, and that’s only a minor quibble in comparison to the potential for even more grave harms to us. What’s wrong with some things being analog?

Another fascinating post, Bryn - thank you so much - and stitching the words together with a thread of molecules was brilliant!
