🧪 Super excited to host Gokcen Eraslan and Surag Nair from Genentech at MIA this Wednesday! They will describe a new multimodal masked modeling framework for functional genomics, which unifies sequence-to-function models, language models and synthetic sequence design.

I would put this even more strongly: open source AI is probably our only realistic chance to avoid a terrifying increase in concentration of power. I do not want to live in a world where the people with all the money also have all the intellectual power.
The most realistic reason to be pro open source AI is to reduce concentration of power.
