Maybe they should build in a test/reward system somehow to make it more appealing to use by humans. Gamification is the corporate buzzword I think

From your perspective, which arguments were not convincing, are you able to share why not?

I was thinking more that it could poison the reputation of gene therapy by causing folks to falsely associate cancer with gene therapy. And that false stigma could carry on even if one day chemo was no longer needed.

>the cancers were caused by the chemotherapy conditioning regimen for the treatment, not Lyfgenia itself.

I am certain some media group is going to conveniently leave this part out of the title of their article, and surely no one is gonna waste time reading the actual article and the rumors will take off.

New comment by confused_boner in "Harvard-led team develops logical qubits to enable scalable quantum computers"

confused_boner — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 06:38:08 +0000

    “If anyone had predicted three years ago when the ONISQ program began that Rydberg neutral atoms could function as logical qubits, no one would have believed it,” said Dr. Guido Zuccarello, a DARPA technical adviser who has supported the ONISQ program since its start in 2020. “It’s the DARPA way to bet on the potential of these less-studied qubits along with the more well-studied ions and superconducting circuits. As an exploratory program, ONISQ gave researchers the leeway to explore unique and new applications beyond just the optimization focus. As a result, the Harvard-led team was able to leverage much more of the potential of these Rydberg qubits and turn them into logical qubits, which is a very significant discovery.”
