Artificial intelligence agents in cancer research and oncology - Nature Reviews Cancer Artificial intelligence agents are autonomous systems that use large language models to reason and as such can perform complex, multistep tasks with minimal human oversight. This Review by Truhn et al. discusses how these agents — which have already been implemented in several industries — could transform cancer research and oncology, and looks at the challenges that need to be addressed before they can be efficiently and safely used.

Our review on AI agents in cancer research and oncology is out in @natrevcancer.nature.com. Already partly outdated at publication, but hopefully still useful. With Daniel Truhn, Shekoofeh Azizi, James Zou, Leonor Cerda-Alberich, Faisal Mahmood -> www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I've overhauled my puzzle level generation so a level is now "grown" like cell tissue in a triangle tessellation. New elements can be inserted anywhere, and the whole level deforms to make room. This makes it easier to control topology and create paths that loops around areas.

My recent trip to Brussels for the @NATO Ministerial meeting left me with one overriding impression: the US has long failed to address the glaring inconsistency between its relations with NATO and the EU. These are almost all the same countries in both organizations. When these countries wear their NATO hats, they insist that Transatlantic cooperation is the cornerstone of our mutual security. But when these countries wear their EU hats, they pursue all sorts of agendas that are often utterly adverse to US interests and security-including censorship, economic suicide/climate fanaticism, open borders, disdain for national sovereignty/promotion of multilateral governance and taxation, support for Communist Cuba, etc etc. This inconsistency cannot continue. Either the great nations of Europe are our partners in protecting the Western civilization that we inherited from them or they are not. But we cannot pretend that we are partners while those nations allow the EU's unelected, undemocratic, and unrepresentative bureaucracy in Brussels to pursue policies of civilizational suicide.

Trees on Paris

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

They’ll be planting a lot more.

oh good point, sorry! Openreview is not public for ACL. The quote is the last line from the meta-review for our submission . Unfortunately the meta-review mischaracterizes our submission. To be fair, I think controlled LLM use is a good idea (see: arxiv.org/abs/2504.09737), but not in this way.
