Well worth a read by @kashhill.bsky.social & @dylanfreedman.nytimes.com: everyday users risk spiraling into delusions during long AI chatbot sessions. Anyone who’s worked with AI knows this is inevitable without strong guardrails. #AI #GenAI #MentalHealth #EthicalAI #ResponsibleAI #AIRisk
Chatbots Can Go Into a Delusional Spiral. Here’s How It Happens.
Over 21 days of talking with ChatGPT, an otherwise perfectly sane man became convinced that he was a real-life superhero. We analyzed the conversation.

Presenting my poster today at the #GRC Protein Engineering. Come have a chat about defluorinase engineering for organofluoride degradation at #37, Monday and Tuesday!

With #PFAS and other organofluorides wreaking havoc, we set out to engineer natural defluorinases for man-made organofluorides. All credit goes to the amazing @suzannejansen.bsky.social, who has outdone herself in this project! (1/5)

Preprint alert! With #PFAS contamination becoming an environmental crisis, we dared to engineer natural defluorinases towards degradation of (un)natural organofluorides. How? Check out our robust growth-based selection platform here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... thanks to @mayerlab.bsky.social !

Had an excellent and inspiring time at NWO Life 2025, fascinating to see how Life science affects so many different research subjects! It's fun to see how Darwinism is still very much alive in these circles 😛

I've been selected as a speaker at #NWOlife2025 on May 28th! Sneak peek: how can we use life (or death) to elicit better defluorinating enzymes toward organofluorine degradation? Looking forward to discuss all the interesting ways that life is involved in your research!

This is so cool. I hope they make it.
Calling all structural enthusiasts! An accurate depiction of the structure of DNA in #Lego is under 2000 supporters away from being considered to become a real set!

It even has Franklin, Watson, and Crick minifigures and a Lego photgraph 51 and Bragg's law!
