So @cbo.bsky.social and I have a new piece out in SciAm.
We look at the drive by OpenAI, Apple, etc to create personally-aligned LLMs as intermediaries between users and primary text on the internet, and consider the possible consequences on society as any shared understanding of the world erodes.

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55

Alt: a black and white photo of a knight in armor standing in a field with the words `` praise the sun '' . The knight brings his legs to the middle, straightens his torso, throws his head back, and raises his hands in a V shape, while the sun is seen shining through the clouds in the background. A reference to the video game "Dark Souls".

There's been some interest in this PLOS announcement, so despite it being light on details, here's why it's big. In our recent study 'The strain on scientific publishing' we showed how certain groups took off in total articles published.
Why? And why now?
