AI-ready biological data: $1.8B global commitment biohub.org

I’ve been toying with the idea of a SETI@Home successor that uses leftover subscription credits from the (currently) subsidized AI providers to help contribute to a collective goal like this.

I wonder if there will be any opportunities to combine resources collectively like that again in the future.

I built a small prototype that would let people in less-developed countries get AI responses from it for free. But it’d be super neat to work together and put our laptops and subscriptions to work on something like this.

Sounds like a great way to get your account suspended… My Claude account was once mysteriously suspended (I wasn’t doing any reselling/sharing and not asking anything sensitive) then mysteriously restored three days later, so I’d say actually violating ToS is likely more risky, given that they seem to not mind suspending false positives at all, and you have zero recourse once you’re suspended. Their customer support is an AI chat bot and even that chat bot page just redirects to the suspended page lol.

I feel like it would be better to create open synthetic training data for all to benefit from,or something along those lines, as opposed to giving it to those claiming to be in need, as such a system would be exploited and abused in a matter of days.

Meanwhile the current administration is actively taking formerly publicly available data sets that are critical for research offline.
