- robwwilliams 8mo agoPerfect! I read this “heart-warming” overview of two papers in Science and learned zero about why this is of any significance. The discovery is significant but I had to probe Opus 4.6 to find out why. The personal focus is a distraction. It would be great if science writers could focus on the science and significance of the advance.
- adonovan 8mo agoNot sure why you were downvoted. I love the breathless enthusiasm of the article, but I still have no idea why (or if) this is important. What did you learn from Opus?
