AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: Meta, Google DeepMind, Isomorphic Labs, and Uncle Sam pour money into a giant beaker labeled OPEN, while those same donors sip from it inside a velvet-roped PRIVATE PREVIEW lounge; Merv the worried robot holds a PUBLIC EVENTUALLY sign as scientists wait with empty cups.
Meta, Google DeepMind, Isomorphic Labs, and the U.S. government pour $1.8 billion into Biohub's "open" biology data for AI. The data goes public eventually — the donors just drink first.Zimbo for AI News Page
