Great; so this is all public domain knowledge since it was created with AI according to current law, right?

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Personally I think all medicine should be public domain

[–] deft@ttrpg.network 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Everything should.

Medicine. Internet. Waste disposal.

[–] datendefekt@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago

All utilities, phone, electricity, sewage, road and rail.

But actually looking at these, pretty much all protocols and standards are already open.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

I think those rulings have only applied to creative works. We'll see.

Depends, what was the training set / knowledge base?

[–] Vector@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A key innovation of the new study is that the researchers were also able to figure out what kinds of information the deep-learning model was using to make its antibiotic potency predictions. This knowledge could help researchers to design additional drugs that might work even better than the ones identified by the model.

That is awesome. I wonder if the techniques that they have used to expose the machine learning “black box” process can be applied to other models - from my understanding of it, that would be pretty big news in and of itself.

Hope so, that's the big leap forward with machine learning IMO.

[–] Legendsofanus@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

So what, we are learning what caused AI to come to a conclusion?

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

With the defeat of the super bugs, I for one welcome the super super bugs.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Great. Now lock it away and require CDC approval for each dose. We may just get out of this alive.

Just kidding, nobody gets out of life alive.

Decade tops.

Interesting. Who is the seemingly random person posting on a forum about human biomes? Do you have a peer reviewed paper on it?

[–] MaximilianKohler@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago

It says who they are in their signature. And a plethora of peer-reviewed papers are cited.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Would you prefer to live in a world without antibiotics?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

No but people should really stop abusing OTC antibiotics like Neosporin. You don't have to put it on every wound.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 4 points 9 months ago

Yes but there's no reason to snark about a new class of antibiotics unless you think they shouldn't be used at all.

I tend to have wounds scab into the dressing which sucks because it rips out when you change it. Which is why I got vitamin E gel for those times I don't need an antibiotics. The capsules are also more convenient to carry around than a tube and take virtually no space in a bag/kit.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes. https://humanmicrobiome.info/antibiotics/#antibiotics-overuse

IMO, the lack of ability for nuance is a sign of low intelligence.

There was no nuance in what you posted. Being a dick about it is a sign of low emotional intelligence. As is responding with a Star Wars quote that implies anyone saying it is a Sith.

This is a flat out lie. The fact that people are upvoting it is very depressing. It's disappointing to see that people on lemmy aren't any smarter than people on reddit.
