- A new YouTube explainer (https://youtu.be/heAOriNCEGQ) was shared that documents practical methods researchers use to freely access pay-walled scientific papers.  
- The Hugging Face “Open Medical LLM Leaderboard” (https://huggingface.co/spaces/openlifescienceai/open_medical_llm_leaderboard) was introduced as a public benchmark for evaluating open-source medical language models.  
- Discussion of a Lifespan.io report (https://www.lifespan.io/news/ai-outperforms-ai-assisted-doctors-in-diagnostic-reasoning/) highlighted that large language models now outperform physicians even when doctors have access to the same models, largely because clinicians under-utilize the models by treating them like search engines rather than providing full case context.  
- Participants debated whether everyday technologies—clothing, shoes, hygiene tools, writing systems, caffeine, birth control, corrective lenses—should be considered baseline human enhancements, with alcohol noted as an ambiguous anxiolytic with significant off-target effects.  
- The consensus emerged that modern humans are “far below baseline” in several critical health or performance dimensions, implying ample room for further enhancement beyond current common tools.
