Super excited to see the exa-cel (Casgevy) #SickleCellDisease results out today in NEJM. These are the data that led to FDA approval Dec23 (during #ash2023). Terrific study steering committee. More data to come in younger pts. Now to work on access! @VertexPharma @CHOPCancerCntr

Today I handed in my university laptop, losing a part of my extended mind (albeit replaced with a new one I bought myself). I decided to write down some personal notes elicited by the closure of the Future of Humanity Institute.
Excited to announce the launch of my new Substack! I’ll be writing about biology through a variety of lenses, from the scientific to the ethical and historical. The first post is a piece about the @enhanced_games and is available right now. Read/sub here: scifinow.substack.com

Hopefully this gets the policy ball rolling on DNA synthesis screening. Glad to see them calling for investment; my instinct is that getting 100% of companies to screen voluntarily only happens with some sort of subsidy. juliabrownley.house.gov/brownley-leads…
Wish we had more information on: - number and distribution of H5N1 test results, incl negative -epi links (if any) between affected herds -outcomes in infected animals -active surveillance in humans, swine -more genomic data -whether stockpiled vaccine matches vs CVV ...

175K Followers 89 Following The original AI alignment person. Missing punctuation at the end of a sentence means it's humor. If you're not sure, it's also very likely humor.It's unfortunate how discourse about dangerous capability evals often centers threats from today's models. Alice goes "Look, GPT-4 can hack stuff / scam people / make weapons," Bob goes "Nah, it's really bad at it." Bob's right! The ~entire worry is scaled-up future systems.
