Sounds like a lot of room for human bias.

How would it have responded to these claims in the past:

THALIDOMIDE is safe

CIGARETTES are safe

ASBESTOS is safe

MERCURY is safe

DDT is safe

LEAD in gasoline is safe

bilsbie — Thu, 21 May 2026 22:11:20 +0000

For the first year I had no idea this was a real condition and my family thought I was crazy when I said things smelled wrong. It was a relief when I stumbled upon reddit group and found others.

I believe this condition is called parosmia. I had a mild version for four years. It’s finally resolving (except shampoos and some sodas smell really strange)

He should have done his own lab. He seems like someone capable of it and might bring some unique ideas.

GOOD POINT by my wife: it’s too early in the AI cycle to already have winners especially with sky high valuations. It’s like betting on ibm to win the pc race.
