Two large maneless male lions known as the "Man-eaters of Tsavo" terrorized workers constructing the Kenya–Uganda Railway until they were shot in 1898. Exact number of their victims is unknown, but they probably killed at least 31 people.. Lions were stuffed and displayed in museums. Ancient DNA confirms that the nineteenth-century carnivores hunted humans and a variety of wild game, including a surprising animal...humans. #nature #DNA #genetics https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03278-5

I'm an organic chemist and I oversee the manufacture of pharmaceuticals for a living. I have never used AI (knowingly) for anything, so to dip my toe in I asked Google Gemini how one would synthesize ibuprofen. The answer Gemini provided was so wrong that I would have fired Gemini if it were one of my reports. In the event you're an organic chemist, the route to ibuprofen Gemini came up with is presented below.
My job is not threatened by AI at all.
