Why shouldn’t they have long term benefits for researchers?

Reminds me a bit of when CRISPR got big, people were worried to no end about potential dangers, designer babies, bioterrorism (“everybody can make a killer virus in their garage now”) etc. In reality, it has been a huge leap forward for molecular biology and has vastly helped research, cancer treatment, drug development and many other things. I think machine learning could have a similar impact. It’s already being used in development of new drugs, genomics, detection of tumours just to name a few

I mean yes, but it can be VERY useful in these narrow laboratory use cases

Not wanting to be bombarded by a foreign country’s political antics and sociopathic leaders == sticking your head in the sand? Interesting take!

Fantastic news! And perfect timing, too, with who knows what the fuck is going it at Mozilla atm

Thunderbird has always been crap. Betterbird is truly better

I always liked TeamSpeak, is that still around?

I feel like this kind of implies that things will get back to the way they were before, once all the bullshit is “done”. Not so sure about that

What an annoying position to be in, needing software updates for your fucking car. Then what, you’ll have to replace it after three years because it won’t get any new security patches anymore?
