OpenAI #ChatGPT is the new Google + StackOverflow for #DataScience #Bioinformatics #ComputationalBiology and might be the new 'underappreciated coauthor' in near future. What a time to be alive, watching a species evolve to invent an extension of one of its most crucial organs.

I genuinely enjoy writing. Writing feels like everything I have been trying to hold in my brain spills down onto the paper. You set the pieces of information free, and help them find their relatives and acquaintances to form a structure together. Eventually, they find their home.

Free software is crucial for science. Without free software, science would lose its reproducibility, and objective peer review would be harder. Free software accelerates the advancement of knowledge by enabling scientists to utilize new algorithms. #fsf35 https://t.co/2aZoXdLFqt
