As the US moves to ban mRNA vaccine and cancer research, other countries want the US-based scientists to move and continue their research with them. (www.theguardian.com)

mRNA vaccines stopped Covid and will protect against H5N1 bird flu if it becomes a pandemic. Scientists say H5N1 is now here to stay, and even if it doesn’t cause a pandemic, another virus will.

mRNA cancer treatments—a breakthrough approach—use mRNA to teach the immune system to fight cancer. Trials are testing both custom and pre-made vaccines.

But in the U.S., this research risks losing funding or even being banned. The good news? Other countries want to keep it going. EU and Swedish science leaders like Maria Leptin and Sten Linnarsson are already offering scientists jobs abroad.

Sam Altman of OpenAI says the company wants to concentrate on replacing human workers, not making dimes from selling advertising. (stratechery.com)

“I am more excited to figure out how we can charge people a lot of money for a really great automated software engineer or other kind of agent than I am making some number of dimes with an advertising-based model.”

Some people will argue this isn't replacing humans, just creating additional jobs for AI, and the human ones are safe. Somehow, I doubt it.

Also, Meta & Google are hardly making 'dimes' from selling advertising.
