          | # THBrain presents new “guided evolution” technique at Mindsci Next Event
          | Long-time neural network tech pioneer unveils iterative method to coerse...  
jamie@YM: look at this photograph!! every time i do it makes me snacked!!
akira@BA: woa :ooo
nils@MR: oh yeah this
nils@MR: they really should have made the growth simulations the headline
jamie@YM: i dunno, clickbaity as it is the whole coersion thing is still pretty big  
jamie@YM: it's indirect manipulation, it's not editing the genome directly, but i guess natural selection doesn't either
akira@BA: hey slow down...
nils@MR: it's good enough yeah
jamie@YM: besides, it's not like it takes away the need and benefits to doing it directly
akira@BA: >:O
jamie@YM: oh damn
jamie@YM: the paper with the results is freely available, but all the material documenting the technique itself is behind a paywall
akira@BA: sdfsdflkjsdf i was about to say the same thing--
jamie@YM: hehe
nils@MR: oh yeah the paywall
nils@MR: pretty scummy of them but not abnormal, especially if it's privately funded
jamie@YM: oh. lol. of course you can bypass it by just turning off javascript
jamie@YM: actually wait no maybe that's a bad idea if we're going to make use of this for a commercial product
jamie@YM: should probably talk to vanny about this

vanny@HQ: Mhm
vanny@HQ: I see
vanny@HQ: I'll email them about it
vanny@HQ: Is that to your liking? @jamie@YM
jamie@YM: yea
vanny@HQ: Alright
jamie@YM: ty vanny 👍
