Well, if you bothered to click on the second link that you for some reason didn't want to because of "corporate speak" - the associated Facebook post explains pretty clearly what Meta does.
> "Meta’s tools can dramatically accelerate scientific progress and move us closer to our goal: to support science and technology that will make it possible to cure, prevent or manage all diseases by the end of the century. Meta will help scientists learn from others’ discoveries in real time, find key papers that may have gone unnoticed, or even predict where their field is headed.
The potential for this kind of platform is virtually limitless: a researcher could use Meta to help identify emerging techniques for understanding coronary artery disease; a graduate student could see that two different diseases activate the same immune defense pathway; and clinicians could find scientists working on the most promising Zika treatments sooner. In the long run, it could be extended to other areas of knowledge: for example, it could help educators stay up to date on developmental science to better understand how children learn."
- edgarvaldes 10y agoThis is the key point, but still vague, I think. >help scientists learn from others’ discoveries in real time, find key papers that may have gone unnoticed, or even predict where their field is headed.
- metaphorm 10y agooh well when you put it that way... a platform with virtually limitless potential. WOW WOW WOW WOW! limitless. potential. why didn't you just say that in the first place? all my potentials have been limited so far. finally something with limitless potential.
