The models also failed to accurately parse calendar images or identify times on clocks with Roman numerals. The failure is attributed to the models being trained on digital-first data sources like Reddit.

Using CRISPR DNA editing technology, the plan aims to suppress the population similarly to methods used for mosquitoes. The discussion touches on the potential for "garage scientists" to unleash edited organisms into the wild and the broader implications of human DNA editing.
