Two of the biggest names in tech are teaming up to build a massive supercomputer. The groundbreaking AI data center sounds like something from a sci-fi film, and is aptly named ‘Stargate’. This marks the next generation of AI, with its unprecedented size, capacity, and potential. What’s also unprecedented is the new supercomputer’s cost, which will be 100 times more than the world’s current biggest data centers. There’s no denying that Open AI is taking over the world of tech. Its latest Chat-GPT model has shown incredible capabilities, able to sing, live translate two people talking, and solve math problems written on a piece of paper. Best of all, these functions will soon be free to any user, even non-paying ones. Chat-GPT is also set to power upcoming generations of Apple products. With all these capabilities, a monumental amount of storage space is required. Open AI and Microsoft are planning to build their supercomputer in the next few years, which will power the next generation of AI systems. Stargate will cover hundreds of acres of land and use up to 5 gigawatts of power. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #elon #chatgpt #stargate #brain #artificalintelligence #machinelearning #dnacomputers #agi #samaltman #computervillage #dnacomputing #datascience #humanity #braincomputerinterface #futuretechnology #deeplearning #supercomputer #sentient #artificalintelligencestrategy #elonmusk #mylife #instatech #human #computer #futuretech #computerscience #braintraining

Longevity biotech Retro Biosciences has entered into an $85 million agreement with Multiply Labs to enhance the production of its cell therapies aimed at age-related diseases. The partnership will leverage Multiply Labs’ automation technology and robotic systems to streamline and scale Retro Bio’s therapeutic manufacturing processes. Funded by OpenAI boss Sam Altman, Retro Bio aims to extend healthy human lifespan by a decade by targeting the cellular drivers of aging. Leveraging automation and computational biology to boost productivity, the San Francisco-based company now boasts five discovery programs aimed at reversing cellular aging. Two of Retro Bio’s programs, autophagy and in vivo reprogramming, are conducted in the body. The others, including T cell and hematopoietic stem cell reprogramming and microglia therapeutics, reprogram cells in the lab and return rejuvenated cells to the body in a process the company calls “micro replacement.” Multiply Labs develops cloud-controlled robotic systems that are intended to produce personalized drugs more efficiently. The company’s technology is designed to reduce costs, accelerate timelines, and improve the scalability of cell therapy manufacturing, including both autologous and allogeneic treatments. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificalintelligence #chatgpt #genome #tardigrade #genetics #biology #molecularbiology #biotechnology #human #cellbiology #biotech #futurehumans #antiageing #microbiology : #aginginreverse #biotechnologist #genes #humans #crispr #agingbackwards #futurism #biohacking #longevity #antiaging #aging #humanity #stemcelltherapy

Fifty-four years ago, I did something extraordinary. I built myself. I was a single, round cell with not the slightest hint of my final form. Yet the shape of my body now – the same body – is dazzlingly complex. I am comprised of trillions of cells. And hundreds of different kinds of cells; I have brain cells, muscle cells, kidney cells. I have hair follicles, though tragically few still decorate my head. But there was a time when I was just one cell. And so were you. And so were my cats, Samson and Big Mitch. That salmon I had for dinner last night and the last mosquito that bit you also started as a single cell. So did Tyrannosaurus rex and so do California redwoods. No matter how simple or complex, every organism starts as a single cell. And from that humble origin emerges what Charles Darwin called ‘endless forms most beautiful’. Once you’ve come to terms with that mind-boggling fact, consider this: all organisms, including humans, build themselves. Our construction proceeds with no architects, no contractors, no builders; it is our own cells that build our bodies. Watching an embryo, then, is rather like watching a pile of bricks somehow make themselves into a house, to paraphrase the biologist Jamie Davies in Life Unfolding (2014). This process of body sculpting is called embryonic development, and it is a symphony of cells and tissues conducted by genetics, biochemistry and mechanics. People who study this, like me, are called developmental biologists. And while you may not know it, our field is in a period of tremendous excitement, but also upheaval. aeon.co #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificialintelligence #chatgpt #futurehumans #crispr #fertility #infertility #fertilityjourney #pregnancy #ivfjourney #embryo #humanity #infertilityawareness #fertilityawareness #humancloning #womenshealth #fertilitytreatment #ivfsuccess #baby #embryos #infertilitysupport #infertilitysucks #pregnant #tryingtoconceive #ivfsupport #news #futurehumanity #embryotransfer

Scientists have moved a step closer to preserving our brains forever. They are one of the first to successfully thaw brain tissue that has been cryogenically frozen - without damaging it. Further, after being frozen, their neurons were still able to send signals as normal. This has been a major challenge for science, because freezing the ultra-delicate, spongy brain usually damages it, making it useless when it’s thawed. Not only is it a breakthrough for neuroscientists looking to study new drugs, it could also advance the sci-fi idea of bringing people back to life in the future. The idea is that people could freeze their bodies, preserving them indefinitely, in hopes that in the future, science will be advanced enough to bring them back to life, healthy. Professor Zhicheng Shao, a Harvard trained neuroscientist who works at Fudan University in Shanghai China, developed a complex chemical mixture nicknamed MEDY which protects neurons from being damaged while frozen. He is not shying away from the idea that the research could be used for cryonics, which has been a fantasy among futurists for decades. ‘MEDY could be used for the cryopreservation of human brain tissue,’ Dr Shao said in his study, published in the journal Cell Reports Methods. For a range of future-minded people, from the likes of Peter Thiel to Steve Aoki, who are banking on preserving their bodies in ice after they die, this should be welcome news. #iclonedna #artificialintelligence #crispr #crisprcas9 #cloning #dna #futuretech #regeneration #elon #cloned #medicalstudent #body #biosciences #bioscience #healthiswealth #medical #lifeisgood #human #cryopreservation #humanity #brain #futurehumans #humancloningisreal #brainhealth #medicalschool #medical #cryonic #stemcells #cryonics #futureofhumanity #humaninterest

YOUR DESTINY IS IN YOUR DNA The future is full of amazing opportunities, beyond anything we can imagine today. DNA preservation, and the possibilities of human cloning, offer you a unique chance to be part of that future. There are many reasons why people consider cloning. Some are suffering from debilitating diseases that will inevitably be cured in the future. Others are nearing the end of their natural life and want to create a new version of themselves in the hope of extending the experience. Some even see their future on another world, as colony ships transport DNA to new planets to seed new life. Whatever the reason for your interest, iClone is here to make sure your DNA is still around when technology, politics and ethics come together to make human cloning possible. The science already exists, so it is only a matter of time before human cloning happens. iClone will make sure your DNA is there when it does. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #immortality #chatgpt #crispr #lifeisgood #clones #medicine #future #lifeexstention #futurehumans #dnagenetics #genetic #human #crisprcas9 #reidhoffman #syntheticbiology #humanity #regenerativemedicine #personalizedmedicine #ageing #precisionmedicine #elon #artificalintelligence #openai #mylife #medical #futuretech #biotech

Venki Ramakrishnan, Nobel laureate and author of the newly released book “Why We Die: The New Science of Aging and the Quest for Immortality,” opened his packed Harvard Science Book Talk last week by noting the vast variabilities of lifespans across the natural world. Death is certain, so far as we know. But there’s no physical or chemical law that says it must happen at a fixed time, which raises other, more philosophical issues. The “why” behind these enormous swings, and the quest to harness longevity for humans, have driven fevered attempts (and billions of dollars in research spending) to slow or stop aging. Ramakrishnan’s book is a dispassionate journey through current scientific understanding of aging and death, which basically comes down to an accumulation of chemical damage to molecules and cells. “The question is whether we can tackle aging processes, while still keeping us who we are as humans,” said Ramakrishnan during his conversation with Antonio Regalado, a writer for the MIT Technology Review. “And whether we can do that in a safe and effective way.” Even if immortality—or just living for a very, very long time—were theoretically possible through science, should we pursue it? Ramakrishnan likened the question to other moral ponderings.

The question of whether there is life beyond Planet Earth in outer space has circulated since time began. And it seems to us that if there was one person who had some insight for us, it would probably be Elon Musk. Musk launched SpaceX in March 2002, with a mission to develop several rocket engines, and ultimately creating a sustainable colony on Mars. SpaceX are yet to achieve the colony on Mars, but have made extreme progress in their mission. Speaking on May 6 at the Global Conference held by the Milken Institute, California, Musk told the audience what he would do if any of his satellites ever picked up life outside earth. Musk claimed that SpaceX have 6,000 satellites, and expressed a belief that human space probes may find remains of alien activity. However, he did admit that his space-surveillance tech hasn’t picked up on anything as of yet. A Cambridge scientist has gone as far as to say that an exoplanet has a 50/50 chance of alien presence. Musk revealed that if he ever did catch sight of a UFO, or any other alien-like being, the first place you would hear about it is, of course, X (formerly Twitter). #iclonedna #chatgpt #cloning #dna #spacex #mars #space #elon #spacetravel #aliens #elonmusk #artificalintelligence #scifi #nasa #sciencefiction #ufo #universe #chatgpt #spaceexploration #ufos #ancientaliens #extraterrestrials #spaceship #alienlife #monolith #ufology #human #spaceshuttle #humanity #technology #news

“Our new film ‘Megalopolis’ is the best work I’ve ever had the privilege to preside over,” reads a quote attributed to iconic director Francis Ford Coppola attached to the official trailer for his new epic film. The picture, which will premiere in competition on Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival, has been a project many years in the making for the director. He first began work on the screenplay in the 1980s. The legendary filmmaker behind “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now” has invested $120 million of his own money into the film. The trailer starts with a voice-over musing about the decline of empires – “when does an empire die? Does it collapse in one terrible moment? No, no. But there comes a time when people no longer believe in it” — before cutting to a Roman chariot race, a metropolitan skyscape and scenes of protest. According to the official synopsis, “‘Megalopolis’ is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero (Nathalie Emmanuel), the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.” #iclonedna #twitter #cloning #dna #clones #movies #crispr #instagram #francisfordcoppola #tvnews #news #media #reporter #broadcasting #movie #tvshow #journalism #tvnewslife #journalist #newstv #reporterlife #newslife #broadcastnews #photojournalism #moviegeek #broadcastjournalism #netflix #press #skynews

To the untrained eye, the ancient brittle star fossil above looks like what you’d expect of a now-especially-brittle echinoderm. But the fossil is quite rare: It captures the moment at which the brittle star was cloning itself, regenerating three of its arms as it died. The specimen was a chance find during a 2018 dig in a limestone deposit west of Nusplingen, Germany. The same fossil bed yielded ancient sponges, crinoids, and ammonite coprolites and beaks. If you look closely, you’ll see the three arms on the fossil’s right side are thinner and slightly shorter than those on its left side. To the team’s knowledge, the specimen is just the second case of a fossil with a regenerating body half, and the first in which its regeneration appears connected to the animal’s six-fold symmetry and clonal fragmentation. The newly defined species—Ophiactis Hex—dates to the Late Jurassic, about 150 million years ago. Brittle stars are not starfish; though both typically have five arms, they constitute different classes of echinoderms, the same invertebrate group that includes sea cucumbers (brittle stars and starfish do share a common ancestor, however). Though many brittle stars are five-armed, the study authors note that O. hex “shows a regular six-fold symmetry without any signs of accidental ray addition, suggesting that the individual was hexamerous before fragmentation.” However, they note that it is not possible to say for sure that the animal was regularly six-armed from just one specimen. Based on its features, including its small body size and arm spines, the team concluded that the brittle star had an epizoic lifestyle: It lived on a host creature, perhaps sponges that grew in the same environment. Whatever other conclusions might be drawn from the fossil—about brittle star evolution, or cloning in evolutionary history—what is clear is that the fossil is pretty freakin’ cool. #iclonedna #dna #itiscolossal #artificalintelligence #exstinction #cloning #dodo #neanderthal #evolution #tasmaniantiger #mylife #mammoth #stem #starfish # #colossalbioscience #fossil #wildlifeconservation #brittlestarfish #evolutionary #chatgpt #news #breakingnews #futuretechnology #life

Jean-Philippe Piquemal is one of the key figures driving progress in the field of medicine with quantum computing. As the director of the Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory at Sorbonne University and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), he is shedding light on how quantum pharmacy will offer hope for challenging illnesses. Quantum computing operates on the principles of quantum mechanics, utilising qubits as its basic units instead of classical bits. In classical computing, bits function as binary switches, capable of being either 0 or 1, akin to flipping a light switch on or off. However, qubits exhibit a unique property called superposition, allowing them to exist in multiple states simultaneously, akin to magic switches. This characteristic enables quantum computers to tackle complex problems much faster than their classical counterparts by executing numerous calculations concurrently. The potential applications of this technology are vast, particularly in fields like medicine. Quantum computers could streamline tasks such as simulating molecular interactions in drug development or modeling intricate weather patterns, leading to quicker predictions and discoveries. “When we have these new computers, this new technology will enable achievements beyond our current reach”. In medicine, this translates into the ability to create molecules within the computer rather than in a laboratory. “Quantum computing is highly effective for dealing with phenomena at the quantum mechanical level”, explained Piquemal. “When there’s a genetic mutation, it can now be repaired, but the alteration must occur at the level of the gene sequence. And the sequence is essentially a sequence of atoms”. euronews.com #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificalintelligence #chatgpt #chatgptnews #xai #futuretech #futurehumans #machinelearning #technology #programming #robotics #coding #datascience #doctors #deeplearning #humanity #robot #medical #tech #medicalstudent #medicalschool #intelligence #quantumcomputing #quatumphysics #futuretechnology #robotics #medicallife #hospital #instahealth

Revolutionizing medicine is in the DNA of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, an innovative biotech firm founded on the groundbreaking science of RNA interference, or RNAi. The company has been making headlines for turning complex science into practical, disease-fighting drugs. According to recent coverage by MIT News, the promise of RNAi has been shaped into a new class of potent therapies, with Alnylam at the forefront of this medical evolution. Forging past the barriers that typically stall the journey from lab bench to patient bedside, Alnylam originated from the intellect of several MIT professors and former postdocs determined to cash in on the therapeutic potential of RNAi. These researchers initially cracked the code on how RNAi could silence genes by degrading messenger RNA, a discovery that has mushroomed into an array of approved medications. Embodied by five FDA-approved drugs, one of which is landmark-licensed to Novartis, the treatments are giving thousands of patients with severe genetic conditions new leases on life. With personal stories providing a human angle, the impact of these drug breakthroughs becomes tangible. Alnylam’s treatments have allowed patients, once shackled by their diseases, to reclaim experiences most take for granted — attending milestone family events, pursuing education, and simply managing day-to-day life without the overhang of debilitating symptoms, as depicted in the patient narratives shared by MIT News. #iclonedna #dna #artificalintelligence #chatgpt #medical #health #medicalstudent #biology #science #biotechnology #genetics #mrna #molecularbiology #biologymajor #biochemistry #cells #biologymemes #biotech #vaccine #microbiology #university #therapeutics #research #pharmaceuticals #laboratory #pharmaceutical #drugdelivery #vaccines #rna #cloning

Plant breeding is pivotal in ensuring stable food for the growing global population. To meet increasing food demands efficiently, plant breeding must achieve high rates of genetic gain. Genomic selection is a powerful tool, leveraging genome-wide DNA variation and phenotypic data to predict the performance of unobserved individuals. Empirical studies have demonstrated GS’s superiority over conventional methods, enhancing selection gains and reducing breeding cycles across various crops. Furthermore, deep learning techniques, a subset of artificial intelligence, are increasingly explored in genomic prediction, showing promise in improving prediction accuracy, particularly with the expanding volume of genetic data. This intersection of genomics and DL holds the potential for revolutionizing various fields, including precision medicine and agriculture. marktechpost.com #iclonedna #geneticengineering #biotechnology #genetics #biology #science #molecularbiology #biotech #research #crispr #microbiology #gene #bioengineering #agriculture #lifescience #biochemistry #biotechnologist #biologystudent #medical #scientist #cellbiology #biologymemes #engineering #biotechnologystudent #organicfarming #medicine #generalagriculture #human

WHEN ANDREW CHAN, M.D., became a gastroenterologist two decades ago, he had to get used to the brutal reality that seemingly healthy young people would show up in his office with colorectal cancer. Even though he specialized in high-risk cancer genetics, they didn’t all have family histories of the disease: Most weren’t obese. Some were marathoners. Some were vegetarians. Some didn’t drink. At the time, “early onset” patients made up less than 10 percent of his caseload. Then about a decade ago, he started getting more of them. Today it’s more than double—a trend he calls “truly stunning” because they’re his age or even 20 years younger. Dr. Chan, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, turned 50 this year. So Dr. Chan decided to help solve one of the decade’s most disturbing medical mysteries: Why are more younger adults getting diagnosed with cancers that have historically been linked to old age? According to the latest report by the American Cancer Society, new cases among younger people rose 1 to 2 percent each year between 1995 and 2020—while rates decreased for other age groups. Twenty percent of new colorectal cases are under 55. And they tend to be more aggressive than those diagnosed at an older age. THERE ARE A lot of trails to chase: Did we eat too many processed foods as kids and mess up our microbiomes? Ingest too many microplastics or absorb too many “forever chemicals”? Was it too many years of binge drinking or burning the midnight oil? Or something else entirely? These questions are what prompted Dr. Chan to step up to be a leader of Team Prospect, a $25 million project funded by the National Cancer Institute along with research groups in the UK, France, Italy and India. The initiative will enlist epidemiologists, clinicians, chemists, computational scientists and microbiome experts to investigate all these factors. menshealth.com #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificalintelligence #chatgpt #genome #tardigrade #genetics #biology #molecularbiology #biotechnology #dna #human #cellbiology #biotech #aging #medical #medicalstudent #healthiswealth #futurehumans #medicalstudents #humanity #crispr #crisprcas9 #life #geneticengineering

Longevity clinic provider Serotonin Centers has opened its latest franchise in San Diego, California. The company, which claims to operate the fastest-growing longevity franchise in the US, provides a range of science-backed treatments designed to “optimize health, longevity, and quality of life.” A group of local medical practitioners have joined forces to open the latest addition to the Serotonin franchise, which will be located in the Del Mar area of San Diego. Scheduled to open in early 2025, the new center will offer a range of services aimed at enhancing wellbeing and extending healthspan. “Combined, we’ve invested nearly a century into supporting the well-being of San Diego residents, helping them to navigate their health challenges and severe ailments,” said Dr Shahid Hussain, one of the owners of the new franchise. “But we recognized more could be done to service our community’s health needs. We wanted to fill in the gaps where traditional healthcare often falls short. Serotonin Centers and its one-stop-shop approach to anti-aging treatments stood out as a potential solution.” Claiming to have more than 100 franchises now either open or in development, Serotonin Centers is yet another example of the rapid growth in longevity clinics in the US and beyond. From hormone replacement therapy to medical aesthetics and IV drip therapy, the company says its clinics provide a holistic approach to longevity via teams of medical practitioners and health coaches who develop personalized health plans for members. The centers also offer restorative services like red-light therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which Serotonin claims can boost the body’s “defensive capabilities”. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificalintelligence #chatgpt #genome #tardigrade #genetics #biology #molecularbiology #biotechnology #dna #human #cellbiology #biotech #futurehumans #antiageing #microbiology : #aginginreverse #biotechnologist #genomics #genes #humans #crispr #agingbackwards #futurism #biohacking #longevity #antiaging #aging #humanity

Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have found in pre-clinical studies that an experimental gene therapy for genital and oral herpes removed 90% or more of the infection and suppressed how much virus can be released from an infected individual, which suggests that the therapy would also reduce the spread of the virus. “Herpes is very sneaky. It hides out among nerve cells and then reawakens and causes painful skin blisters,” said Keith Jerome, MD, Ph.D., professor in the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division at Fred Hutch. “Our aim is to cure people of this infection, so that they don’t have to live with the worry of outbreaks or of transmitting it to another person.” Published May 13 in Nature Communications, Jerome and his Fred Hutch team published an encouraging step toward a gene therapy for herpes. The experimental gene therapy involves injecting into the blood a mixture of gene editing molecules that seek out where the herpes virus resides in the body. The mixture includes laboratory-modified viruses called a vector—commonly used in gene therapies—plus enzymes that work like molecular scissors. Once the vector reaches the clusters of nerves where the herpes virus hangs out, the molecular scissors snip away at the herpes virus’s genes to damage them or remove the virus entirely. “We are using a meganuclease enzyme that cuts in two different places in the herpes virus’s DNA,” said first author Martine Aubert, Ph.D., principal staff scientist at Fred Hutch. “These cuts damage the virus so much that it can’t repair itself. Then the body’s own repair systems recognize the damaged DNA as foreign and get rid of it.” #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificalintelligence #humanity #biotechnology #thelastofus #medical #antibacterial #antibiotics #germs #healthcare #microbiology #infection #antimicrobialresistance #bacteria #hospitals #infectioncontrol #biology #virus #herpes #human #pandemic #quarantine #health #newsupdate #chatgpt #news #viral #medicalstudent

Sands Capital has closed its latest life sciences investment fund, a $555 million haul that could help support biotechnology companies preparing to go public. The fund announced Tuesday, named Sands Capital Life Sciences Pulse Fund III, is the firm’s third since forming a life sciences-focused initiative, “Pulse,” in 2018. Sands Capital has now secured $1.3 billion towards the effort, including a similar-sized fund that closed in 2021. It’ll continue to invest in a variety of healthcare companies, from drug and diagnostics developers to the makers of medical devices and life sciences tools. “The life sciences sector continues to innovate at a rapid pace, leading to breakthroughs that benefit both patients and society as a whole,” said Stephen Zachary, the firm’s managing partner, in a statement. “We are grateful to both the investors joining us in Pulse III and the talented management teams we’ve partnered with since the strategy’s inception.” #iclonedna #cloning #dna #crispr #crisprcas9 #openai #artificalintelligence #stockmarket #chatgpt #investing #trading #investment #money #finance #forex #investor #sharemarket #financialfreedom #bitcoin #trader #cryptocurrency #medical #health #healthiswealth #medicalstudent #healthcare #biotech #elon #reidhoffman #human

Though more than 8 million babies have been born through in vitro fertilization (IVF), 70% of IVF implantations fail. As IVF is becoming a more common route to pregnancy in cases of infertility, there is a need for better understanding of embryonic development at this early stage. Researchers in the laboratory of Caltech’s Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, Bren Professor of Biology and Biological Engineering, study the biological processes underlying the earliest days of human development. Now, a new study from the Zernicka-Goetz lab demonstrates that when human embryos are composed of two cells, at just 1 day old, only one of these cells will create most of the fetal body cells in addition to placental cells, while the other will only create placental cells. The research changes the long-standing paradigm that the two cells at this stage both contribute equally to all parts of the developing embryo, suggesting that “specification”—the phenomenon of cells having specific individual roles—happens much earlier in development than previously believed. The findings have implications for how embryos intended for IVF implantation are assessed for abnormalities.

For decades, philosopher Nick Bostrom (director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford) has led the conversation around technology and human experience (and grabbed the attention of the tech titans who are developing AI – Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman). Now, a decade after his NY Times bestseller Superintelligence warned us of what could go wrong with AI development, he flips the script in his new book Deep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved World (March 27), asking us to instead consider “What could go well?” Professor Bostrom talks about his background, his new book Deep Utopia Life and Meaning in a Solved World, why he thinks advanced AI systems could automate most human jobs and more. Swedish-born philosopher Nick Bostrom is a Professor at Oxford University, where he heads the Future of Humanity Institute as its founding director. He is the most-cited professional philosopher in the world aged 50 or under and is the author of some 200 publications, including Anthropic Bias (2002), Global Catastrophic Risks (2008), Human Enhancement (2009), and Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies (2014), a New York Times bestseller. His writings have been translated into more than 30 languages; he is a repeat main-stage TED speaker; and he has been interviewed more than 1,000 times by media outlets around the world. He has been a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast, Lex Fridman podcast, and Brian Keating’s Into the Impossible. Foreign Policy listed him as one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers twice and he was included in Prospect’s World Thinkers list, the youngest person in the top 15. As a graduate student he dabbled in stand-up comedy on the London circuit. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificialintelligence #futuretech #aging #stem #futurism #technology #immortality #robot #transhuman #chatgpt #biohacking #science #cybernetics #cloninghumans #futuretech #longevity #futuristic #antiaging #futurehumans #nickbostrom #newtechnology #immortal #futurehumanoid #synthetichuman #agi #geneticengineering #genetic

As we move closer to the greatest revolution of all time, the opening of the High Frontier of space to humanity, some assert this is somehow a bad thing. Based on inaccurate understandings of history and misplaced projections of those misunderstood times to the future, they are spreading ridiculous and possibly dangerous ideas that what is happening in what I call the Space Revolution is a repeat of the conquests and colonization of history. Wrong. Aside from the fact that we are not taking space from anyone, this time, for the first time, if we do it right, we have the chance to give it to everyone. #iclonedna #iclonemars #spacex #elonmusk #space #nasa #universe #elon #astronomy #science #galaxy #moon #stars #spaceexploration #cosmos #spacetravel #astrophotography #earth #sunrise #scifi #marsrover #marscolonization #sun #planets #humanity #mars #spaceage #sunsetphotography #milkyway #moonbase

The rise of superbugs resistant to antibiotics poses a greater threat to humanity than climate change, England’s former chief medical officer has warned. Dame Sally Davies, who is now the UK’s special envoy on antimicrobial resistance, said the growing number of infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites that can no longer be treated with available medicines will “make some of Covid look minor” and is a “more acute” issue than global warming. Davies, whose goddaughter died of a drug-resistant infection aged 38, “paints a bleak picture of what could happen if the world fails to tackle the problem within the next decade”, said The Guardian. Drug resistance could turn everyday injuries and routine surgeries – ranging from caesarean sections to cancer interventions and organ transplantation – into “life and death events”, said the Daily Mail. It would also “undo decades of medical progress and potentially kill millions every year”. The World Health Organization predicts that at the current rate the direct death toll from antimicrobial resistance will grow to 10 million a year by 2050. The UK government launched a national action plan on antimicrobial resistance last week to “contain and control” antimicrobial resistance by 2040. It pointed to the progress already made towards reducing antibiotic use in animals: sales of antibiotics for farm animals have halved since 2014. “GPs will be ‘supported’ with new technologies such as AI to reduce antibiotic prescribing,” said Pulse. The government plan also wants to ensure “rapid, accurate diagnostic testing” is available for doctors to help “reduce unnecessary prescribing and overprescribing” of antimicrobials. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificalintelligence #humanity #biotechnology #thelastofus #crisprcas9 #antibacterial #crispr #germs #healthcare #microbiology #infection #antimicrobialresistance #bacteria #hospitals #antibioticresistance #infectioncontrol #biology #virus #covid #coronavirus #pandemic #quarantine #health #chatgpt #viral #birdflu #medical

Colorado has highly pathogenic avian influenza – also known as HPAI or bird flu – on a dairy farm, the ninth state with confirmed cases. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Veterinary Services Laboratories confirmed the virus on April 25, 2024, in a herd in northeast Colorado. This farm is one of 35 dairy farms across the U.S. with verified cases of bird flu in cattle as of May 7, 2024, according to the USDA. Bird flu is not new to Colorado. The state experienced an outbreak in poultry that began in 2022. Since then, the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has reported that 6.3 million birds in nine commercial flocks and 25 backyard flocks have been affected by the virus. The most recent detection was in February 2024. But this is the first time the disease has made cattle in Colorado sick. I’m a veterinarian and epidemiologist at Colorado State University who focuses on infectious diseases in dairy cows. I spent many years on a USDA incident management team working on multiple cattle and poultry disease outbreaks, and I’m leading the efforts at Colorado State University to study this novel outbreak. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificalintelligence #humanity #biotechnology #thelastofus #superbugs #antibacterial #antibiotics #germs #healthcare #microbiology #infection #antimicrobialresistance #bacteria #hospitals #infectioncontrol #biology #virus #covid #coronavirus #pandemic #quarantine #health #chatgpt #viral #birdflu #medical

For the first time since 1960, the number of live births in the EU has fallen below 4 million, one of the lowest fertility rates in the world. In 2022, the number of live births in the European Union reached its lowest level since 1960, according to the latest available data. That year, only 3.88 million babies were born in the EU, marking the first time the figure fell below 4 million. The fertility rate also declined, nearing levels last seen two decades ago. The EU had one of the lowest fertility rates in the world, defined as the number of live births per woman. How do fertility rates compare across different parts of Europe? And how has the fertility rate change in Europe compared to the rest of the world? There has been a downward trend since 1960 in the number of children born in the EU. The lowest number was recorded in 2022 at 3.88 million. In 1990, 5.1 million babies were born in the EU, marking the last year that births exceeded 5 million. euronews.com #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificialintelligence #chatgpt #futurehumans #crispr #fertility #infertility #fertilityjourney #pregnancy #ivfjourney #embryo #humanity #infertilityawareness #fertilityawareness #humancloning #birthrate #fertilitytreatment #ivfsuccess #baby #embryos #infertilitysupport #birthratedecline #pregnant #tryingtoconceive #ivfsupport #infertilityjourney #futurehumanity #embryotransfer

SpaceX has just unveiled its groundbreaking new spacesuit for the upcoming Polaris Dawn mission. During the five-day mission, the crew would be sporting the newly developed extravehicular activity (EVA) spacesuit. The Polaris Dawn mission will be the first time the new spacesuits are used during low-Earth orbit. On its website, SpaceX wrote: “The development of this suit and the execution of the spacewalk will be important steps toward a scalable design for spacesuits on future long-duration missions as life becomes multi-planetary.” The five-day mission will also include the first commercial astronaut spacewalk. These spacesuits are basically upgraded versions of the Intravehicular Activity (IVA) suit used for the Dragon spacecraft missions. According to the company, the EVA suit will also be used to build a base on the Moon and Mars. #iclonedna #iclonemars #spacex #elonmusk #elon #space #nasa #universe #elonmusknews #chatgpt #moonlanding #moon #geneticallymodified #spaceexploration #crispr #geneticlab #medical #marscolony #astronaut #china #mars #biotechnology #marscolonization #planets #humanity #mooncolony #space #geneticengineering #cloning #artificalintelligence #spaceship

Holy crap! The new ChatGPT version, named GPT-4o, just got its first live demos at the OpenAI Spring Update, and it makes Siri look downright primitive. We’re talking about a chatbot that can express real emotion, do real-time translations and use vision features like Google Lens to help you do everything from solve linear equations to help guess your mood. Yup, the GPT-4o voice assistant can do real-time conversational speech. In the first demo, we see one of the OpenAI researchers, Mark, ask GPT-4o to help him calm his nerves because he’ve giving a live demo. The chatbot responds that this is awesome and seems excited and proceeds to guide him through a breathing session. Mark purposely breathes in heavy and fast, and GPT-4o responds with humor that he’s “not a vacuum cleaner.” The assistant does get tripped up a bit with the audio being out of sync but overall it’s very impressive. Plus, you can interrupt the model, so you can change gears at any time. It’s important to point out that GPT-4o can perceive emotion. But it can also generate emotion. For example, Mark asked the voice assistant to read a bedtime story and proceeds to give it instructions on being more expressive and dramatic. So you can say “I want a little more emotion in your voice and some drama.” As a result, GPT-4o reads with a lot more passion, and the assistant could even switch to a robot voice on command. You can even ask it to sing and it complies. tomsguide.com #iclonedna #cloning #chatgptnews #ceooftheyear #chatgpt4 #bhfyp #openai #dna #artificialintelligence #search #coding #chatgtp #programming #agi #artificialintelligenceai #digitaltransformation #deeplearning #datascience #samaltman #sentient #data #computerscience #qstar #datascientist #google #virtual #virtualassistant #sentientbeings #samaltmanopenai #searchengineoptimization

What if our minds could live after our bodies have died? What if mortality became obsolete? Steven Kotler, award-winning journalist and executive director of the Flow Research Collective, has studied these seemingly sci-fi ideas, and it turns out that they’re not so fictional, after all. In fact, mind-uploading technology is expected to be available as early as 2045. “Digital immortality” would have its upsides; we could preserve the minds of modern geniuses and have their guidance through future conflicts. Or, alternatively, things could get dark, as we have never before interfered with such complex evolutionary processes. Kotler explains that the ability to store human personalities and consciousness on computers poses profound ethical and societal questions. By developing and using this mind-uploading technology, we are simultaneously redefining what it means to be a human being, pushing the boundary between life, death, and whatever is in between. It seems, whether we’re ready or not, that it is going to happen soon. #iclonedna #digitaltwins #digitaltwin #minduploading #elon #elonmusk #neuralink #brainhealth #brainpower #brainuploading #mindfulness #reidhoffman #memory #braincomputerinterface #chatgpt #brain #neuroscience #life #brainchip #mentalhealth #cloning #neurology #AI #biotech #memories #brainimplant #humanity #human #artificalintelligence #consciousness

Apple Inc. has closed in on an agreement with OpenAI to use the startup’s technology on the iPhone, part of a broader push to bring artificial intelligence features to its devices, according to people familiar with the matter. The two sides have been finalizing terms for a pact to use ChatGPT features in Apple’s iOS 18, the next iPhone operating system, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the situation is private. Apple also has held talks with Alphabet Inc.’s Google about licensing that company’s Gemini chatbot. Those discussions haven’t led to an agreement, but are ongoing. Last year, Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said he personally uses OpenAI’s ChatGPT but added that there were “a number of issues that need to be sorted.” He promised that new AI features would come to Apple’s products on a “very thoughtful basis.” On Apple’s earnings conference call last week, he argued that Apple would have an edge in AI. “We believe in the transformative power and promise of AI, and we believe we have advantages that will differentiate us in this new era, including Apple’s unique combination of seamless hardware, software and services integration,” Cook said during the earnings call. #iclonedna #cloning #chatgptnews #ceooftheyear #chatgpt4 #bhfyp #openai #dna #artificialintelligence #apple #coding #brain #chatgtp #programming #tech #artificialintelligenceai #digitaltransformation #deeplearning #datascience #samaltman #computerengineer #data #computerscience #techlover #datascientist #braintraining #technologies #virtualassistant #technews #computer

Harnessing the body’s own cells to fight disease, long a medical dream, is finally a reality. Now comes the bill. Last month, Stanford became the first hospital in the nation to use a new $515,000 cell therapy to treat a patient with advanced melanoma. A related approach, costing $420,000 to $475,000, is offering hope to patients with lethal blood cancers. Meanwhile, cells fixed by gene therapy can slow, even stop, the progression of intractable diseases like sickle cell or beta thalassemia — for the extraordinary price of $2.1 million to $4.25 million each. This is the future of medicine, experts agree. But the cost of this new class of medical treatment is raising alarm about availability and affordability, even as its potential grows. It’s time to re-imagine our payment models, they said. “Cell and gene therapies have the possibility to transform thousands of lives but only if we ensure sustainable access to them for all patients,” said Sarah Emond, president of the influential Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, a Boston-based nonprofit that assesses the value of medicines. “These are precision medicines,” said Dr. David Miklos, chief of the Stanford Bone Marrow and Cell Therapy Program, where hundreds of cancer patients have been treated with the CAR-T cell therapies. “It’s different than buying a pill at the CVS pharmacy that can work for anybody.” It is a triumph decades in the making. The promise of cell and gene therapies has ​long intrigued scientists​, but progress was slow, with many setbacks. Now FDA-approved products are entering the clinic. “The technology to bring it to life has finally caught up with the ideas behind it,” said Stanford assistant professor of medicine Dr. Allison Betof Warner, who is conducting Stanford’s melanoma trial. www.eastbaytimes.com #iclonedna #twitter #cloning #dna #elon #elonmusk #crispr #instagram #medical #human #humanity #health #medicalstudent #tvnews #news #media #reporter #broadcasting #crispr #digitaltwin #journalism #medicalschool #biotech #genetics #futuretechnology #bhfyp #artificalintelligence #life

Four of the world’s biggest countries may “collapse” as the “era of depopulation” is taking hold and leaving its mark on birth rates. While tech expert Elon Musk may be doing his best to “help the underpopulation crisis” his efforts are not enough as East Asia could be set for total collapse. With a “dramatic” shift expected for China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, the area is preparing to “lose millions of people.” Projections from the Population Division of the UN Department of Economic Social Affairs have marked China and Japan’s populations for an eight and 18% decrease respectively. Other countries of concern saw South Korea’s population set for a 12% shrinkage while Taiwan would see a drop of 8% between 2020 and 2050. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #cloningcenters #birthrate #birthratedecline #artificalintelligence #human #population #women #doctor #health #pregnancy #familyplanning #reproductivehealth #birthcontrol #fertilityawareness #fertility #chatgpt #humanity #embryo #crispr #biotechnology #geneticengineering #futurehumans #medical #medicalstudent #lifeisgood

Though the quest for the fountain of youth may remain elusive, scientists continue to uncover methods to prolong human lifespans. In the future, guarding our cells against aging could be as simple as ingesting a tablet. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have discovered that senolytic drugs can enhance the production of a crucial protein, potentially shielding the elderly from the effects of aging and various illnesses. Their findings, featured in eBioMedicine, demonstrate this through experiments on mice and humans. The senolytics developed at the Mayo Clinic, when administered, effectively purge the bloodstream of senescent or “zombie” cells. These cells are implicated in numerous diseases and detrimental aging aspects. The study reveals that the elimination of senescent cells leads to a significant increase in the production of a protective protein known as a-klotho. Senescent cells, colloquially known as “zombie cells,” are cells within your body that stubbornly persist and do not die. .thebrighterside.news #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificalintelligence #chatgpt #genome #tardigrade #genetics #biology #molecularbiology #biotechnology #dna #human #cellbiology #biotech #futurehumans #antiageing #microbiology : #aginginreverse #biotechnologist #genomics #genes #humans #crispr #agingbackwards #futurism #biohacking #longevity #antiaging #aging #humanity

If you could talk again to someone you love who has passed away, would you? For a long time, this question was purely hypothetical. Today, it is not. Advances in deepfake technologies have made it feasible and affordable to clone people’s looks and voices using AI, and large language models now allow for engaging conversations with AI chatbots. In China, this technology has sparked a burgeoning market focused on recreating deceased family members, allowing thousands of grieving individuals to “converse” with digital avatars of their lost relatives. This modern practice extends a long cultural tradition where Chinese people talk to the deceased during funeral rituals or in front of memorial portraits. The leap now is from a one-sided conversation to a two-way dialogue facilitated by AI. These “AI resurrection” services, provided by at least half a dozen Chinese companies, offer lifelike avatars that interact via apps or tablets. The services, ranging in price from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, have already been embraced by over 2,000 clients. These companies report a growing acceptance of this technology as a tool for processing grief. This phenomenon isn’t limited to private individuals; it also extends to public figures. About one-third of the avatars created by the company Silicon Intelligence are of deceased Chinese writers, thinkers, celebrities, and religious leaders. These are not intended for personal mourning but for public education and commemoration. www.inc.com #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificialintelligence #chatgpt #cyberdelics #jasonsilva #digitaltwin #virtualrealityworld #aiclone #digitaltwins #digitalclone #digitalimplant #virtualreality #matrix #biological #technology #digital #simulation #augmentedreality #robotics #digitalclones #datascience #newtech #machinelearning #digitaltwintechnology #tech #digitalhuman #data #digitalresurrection

AI is about to trigger a seismic shift in the way we tackle healthcare, and it’s not a moment too soon. Our ageing populations, along with cash starved hospitals and overworked staff, have seen a steady deterioration in the scope and quality of medical care provided on a day to day basis. As author Eric Topol explains in his book Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again, “the greatest opportunity offered by AI is not reducing errors or workloads, or even curing cancer: it is the opportunity to restore the precious and time-honored connection and trust.” At the heart of this brave new world is data. Specifically our ‘electronic health records’ patient data. It’s hardly a surprise then, that last year’s controversial $411 million, five year contract to handle the UK’s national health service patient records should be won by Palantir, a well known US spy tech company. Data, and especially patient data, is going to become a very valuable commodity as we tiptoe cautiously into this new AI age. One powerful demonstration of just how important machine learning is likely to be our future health and well-being comes from the news this week that Med-Gemini, a collaborative set of medical AI models from Google and Microsoft, achieved a 91.1% accuracy in running scans on complex patient health data. This included ‘needle in a haystack’ searches to find subtle and rare medical conditions or symptoms, which might otherwise have been missed by human eyes. The system also performed well on medical evaluations using a chat bot, asking appropriate questions and making correct diagnoses. The research team was cautiously optimistic about the results, especially regarding “its potential to significantly reduce cognitive load and augment clinicians’ capabilities.” #iclonedna #cloning #dna #medical #medicine #doctor #health #healthcare #hospital #doctors #chatgpt #covid #medicalstudent #surgery #medstudent #medschool #medico #science #medicalschool #pharmacy #medicallife #anatomy #biology #medicalai #medlife #nurses #tech #medicaltechnology #futuretech #artificalintelligence

In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool, revolutionizing how we diagnose, treat, and manage diseases. At the forefront of this transformation is the concept of digital twins, virtual replicas that simulate real-world processes and environments. When applied to the development and testing of AI solutions in healthcare, digital twins offer unparalleled opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and improved patient outcomes. Health AI development encompasses a wide range of applications, from medical imaging and diagnostics to drug discovery and personalized treatment plans. However, the road to implementing these AI solutions is fraught with challenges, including data scarcity, model interpretability, and regulatory compliance. Digital twins address these challenges by providing a simulated environment where AI algorithms can be trained, tested, and validated before deployment in real-world settings. Here’s how digital twins are reshaping health AI development and testing: medium.com #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificialintelligence #chatgpt #medical #medicalstudent #digitaltwin #virtualrealityworld #aiclone #digitaltwins #digitalclone #digitalimplant #virtualreality #matrix #biological #technology #digital #simulation #augmentedreality #robotics #digitalclones #datascience #newtech #machinelearning #digitaltwintechnology #tech #digitalhuman #data #digitalresurrection

If the idea of building a train on the moon sounds like something from the pages of a sci-fi novel, you wouldn’t be alone. But the moon train is actually just one of six ‘science fiction-like concepts’ to receive new funding from NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts program. Flexible Levitation on a Track, or FLOAT, plans to use levitating magnetic robots to transport up to 100 tonnes of materials on the lunar surface every day. According to the team behind the Scalextric-like project, this would provide a reliable and autonomous way of moving resources mined on the moon. Project leader Dr Ethan Schaler, a robotics engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, says: ‘A durable, long-life robotic transport system will be critical to the daily operations of a sustainable lunar base in the 2030’s’. #iclonedna #iclonemars #spacex #elonmusk #space #nasa #universe #elon #astronomy #science #galaxy #moon #stars #spaceexploration #cosmos #spacetravel #astrophotography #earth #sunrise #scifi #mars #marscolonization #sun #planets #humanity #mars #spaceage #moonwalker #milkyway #moonbase

It’s the calm before the storm. We’re days away from some big AI announcements. OpenAI will hold an event on Monday, at which it’s reported to be showing off a Google Search competitor—Sam Altman says that won’t be the case. Speaking of Google, the company is holding its annual developer conference next week, and the following week will be consumed by product news from Microsoft as it holds multiple events, including its Build conference. But before we’re flooded by talks of Gemini, ChatGPT, and Copilot, let’s examine a growing tech trend in AI: the rise of so-called Digital Twins. These aren’t ordinary chatbots you see on a mobile app or website. They’re digital replicas of a real-world physical product, system or process. So why are more software makers creating them for companies? Organizations are using Digital Twins across industries, from fashion and clinical trials to semiconductor manufacturing and focus groups. This week, I spoke with Sprinklr Chief Executive Ragy Thomas about his company’s approach to this AI model. It has launched Digital Twins to help improve brands’ customer experience, and odds are, we’re going to be interacting with them soon, whether we know it or not. thelettertwo.com #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificialintelligence #chatgpt #business #company #digitaltwin #virtualrealityworld #aiclone #digitaltwins #digitalclone #digitalimplant #virtualreality #matrix #biological #technology #digital #simulation #augmentedreality #robotics #digitalclones #datascience #newtech #machinelearning #digitaltwintechnology #tech #digitalhuman #data #digitalresurrection

President Emmanuel Macron has unveiled a comprehensive plan to combat France’s dwindling birth rate. The country’s birth rate has hit its lowest point since World War II, declining by 7% last year. Now the president’s initiative aims to reverse that trend by encouraging couples to have children sooner. Central to Macron’s strategy is the introduction of free fertility checks for individuals aged between 18 and 25. The plan is to empower young adults with information about their reproductive health, potentially enabling them to make informed decisions about family planning at an earlier stage in their lives. The decline in birth rates in France is attributed to various factors, including shifting societal norms and increasing financial pressures. Macron’s plan seeks to alleviate the financial burdens associated with raising a family by offering financial support for new parents. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificialintelligence #chatgpt #futurehumans #crispr #fertility #infertility #fertilityjourney #pregnancy #ivfjourney #embryo #humanity #infertilityawareness #fertilityawareness #humancloning #womenshealth #fertilitytreatment #ivfsuccess #baby #embryos #infertilitysupport #france #pregnant #tryingtoconceive #ivfsupport #infertilityjourney #futurehumanity #embryotransfer

A recent report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows US fertility rates dropped 2% in 2023. With the exception of a temporary increase in the fertility rate at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the US fertility rate has been falling steadily since 1971. Australia exhibits a similar pattern. Fertility has declined since 2007 despite government attempts to invest in a “baby bonus” to encourage Australian women to have more children. Taking a more global perspective, we can see similar patterns across other industrial nations: Japan, South Korea and Italy have some of the lowest global fertility rates. So, what is going on here? Despite highly valuing children and our roles as parents, why are women having so few babies? And, importantly, why should we care? On my recently launched podcast MissPerceived, I discuss why fertility rates rule the world. For a population to maintain its current size— that is, neither shrink nor grow—the total fertility rate needs to be above 2.1 births per women. This is because we need to have enough babies to replace both parents after they die—one baby to replace the mother and one to replace the father, and a little extra to account for infant mortality.

How did your heart form? What triggered your first heartbeat? To this day, the mechanisms of human heart development remain elusive. Researchers know the heart is the first organ to fully function in the growing human embryo. It begins as a simple tube that starts to pump blood by the fourth week of gestation. By the ninth week, the heart is fully formed. The heart is critical to early development because it provides essential nutrients throughout the developing fetus. But due to its early formation, the heart is exposed for a long duration to substances a pregnant person might come into contact with, such as medications or pollutants. This may be a main reason why congenital heart disease is the most common type of birth defect in people, occurring in over 1 in 100 births worldwide. Traditionally, scientists have used animal and cell models to study heart development and disease. However, researchers haven’t been able to produce a cure for congenital heart disease in part because these models are unable to capture the complexity of the human heart. Due to ethical limitations, using human embryos for these studies is out of the question. To help researchers study heart development and complications in pregnancy, our team of biomedical engineers and cardiovascular scientists have spent the past several years trying to create the next best thing: mini human hearts in the lab. theconversation.com #iclonedna #iclonecrispr #elonmusk #bhfyp #bhfy #spacex #heart #medical #heartattack #hearthealth #miniheart #elon #dna #healthyheart #bloodpressure #cardio #cloning #cardiovascular #heartdisease #cardiology #health #cardiologist #hearts #genetics #genetica #biotechnologist #human #humanity #lifeisgood #life

Scientists have restored vision and hearing in people born with congenital blindness or deafness in two separate gene therapy trials A British toddler born deaf has become the first person to have their hearing restored via gene therapy. The 18-month-year-old Opal Sandy has been reportedly enjoying playing the drums and babbling with her parents after the groundbreaking therapy. Opal was born with hearing loss due to a rare genetic mutation in the OTOF gene. She underwent a 16-minute surgery where a harmless virus called AAV1 was injected into her cochlea. It delivers a working copy of the OTOF gene into the cochlea, restored functionality in her ear. Opal is the first patient globally to receive the therapy. The news comes days after scientists used a gene therapy to restore vision in people with a rare form of inherited or congenital blindness. Scientists in this separate trial used a different gene editing tool called gene editing tool, CRISPR-Cas9. The researchers said 11 out of the 14 people in a clinical trial experienced improved vision, without serious adverse side effects. They said the study was also the first to use gene therapy to treat children who had been born with a form of blindness. Eric Pierce of Harvard Medical School, who led the study, said participants were “thrilled” to be able to see the food on their plates. “These were individuals who could not read any lines on an eye chart and who had no treatment options, which is the unfortunate reality for most people with inherited retinal disorders,” Pierce said in a statement. The findings were published in The New England Journal of Medicine on May 6, 2024. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #crispr #artificalintelligence #chatgpt #elon #elonmusk #hearing #hearingloss #hearingaids #eyesight #hearingaid #audiologist #hearinghealth #hearingtest #deaf #blind #hearinglossawareness #hardofhearing #health #hearingimpaired #hearinglosswontstopme #blindness #eyesight #hearingcare #cochlearimplant #deafness #hearingprotection #cochlear

Technology continues to move at a rapid pace and the work being put into artificial intelligence tools is forever taking new leaps forward. However, there are not always considerations for the moral or ethical issues regarding emerging tech. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have begun warning about the future of some AI tools, most disturbingly regarding a tool that could allow users to hold text and voice conversations with lost loved ones. In a paper entitled ‘Digital afterlife’: call for safeguards to prevent unwanted ‘hauntings’ by AI chatbots of dead loved ones released on May 8, researchers warn about the wider issues with, well, ‘talking’ to the dead. “‘Deadbots’ or ‘Griefbots’ are AI chatbots that simulate the language patterns and personality traits of the dead using the digital footprints they leave behind,” the paper explains. “Some companies are already offering these services, providing an entirely new type of ‘postmortem presence’.” And if you think this sounds like something straight out of the Black Mirror TV show... that’s because it basically is. www.unilad.com #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificialintelligence #chatgpt #cyberdelics #jasonsilva #digitaltwin #virtualrealityworld #aiclone #digitaltwins #digitalclone #digitalimplant #virtualreality #matrix #biological #technology #digital #simulation #augmentedreality #robotics #digitalclones #datascience #newtech #machinelearning #digitaltwintechnology #tech #digitalhuman #data #digitalresurrection

Federal authorities on Friday pledged nearly $200 million in an attempt to control the spread of bird flu on dairy farms. Some of that money would go directly to farms to help them reduce the spread of the virus, cover veterinary costs and compensate farmers who’ve lost milk because of sick cows. The money is also intended to encourage testing of both dairy cows and the people who work closely with them — a key step, experts said, in understanding the true scope of bird flu, also known as H5N1, across the U.S. “Incentives work very well to get a better understanding of epidemiology,” said Katelyn Jetelina, who tracks illnesses for a website called “Your Local Epidemiologist.” Right now, there is no requirement for dairy cows to be tested unless they’re being moved across state lines, according to a recent federal order. Otherwise, the decision is left to farmers. So far, only about 80 cows among the 26,000 dairy herds in the U.S. have been tested under the federal order, which went into effect at the end of April, Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Friday in a media briefing. It was unclear how many of those 80 had tested positive. As of Friday, 42 herds in nine states — Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota, Ohio and Texas — had been affected by the outbreak. #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificalintelligence #humanity #biotechnology #thelastofus #superbugs #antibacterial #antibiotics #germs #healthcare #microbiology #infection #antimicrobialresistance #bacteria #hospitals #infectioncontrol #biology #virus #covid #coronavirus #pandemic #quarantine #health #chatgpt #viral #birdflu #medical

Mysterious longevity biotech Seragon Biosciences is claiming significant results in a preclinical study of its “anti-aging candidate” known only as SRN-901. The Irvine, California-based biopharma quietly issued a press release earlier this week indicating that its 300-mouse study demonstrated “one of the largest extensions of lifespan and healthspan to date” in treated animals. Little information is available about Seragon or SRN-901, but the company said that whole-genome transcriptome sequencing of mice treated in the study revealed increased expression of longevity-associated genes and reduced expression of aging-related genes. The company also claims that a metabolic panel displayed “beneficial changes” in biomarkers associated with a younger biological age. In addition to lifespan, Seragon says its study evaluated SRN-901’s effects on healthspan, physical, and cognitive function. Elderly mice treated with SRN-901 exhibited enhanced endurance and reduced frailty scores compared with controls, and there was also a significant decrease in tumor occurrence among the treated group. With a stated goal of “improving human and animal health through innovative science”, Seragon’s website indicates the company is working in areas including aging, metabolism, gene therapy, and bioinformatics. The site also gives some clues as to the potential approach behind SRN-901: #iclonedna #cloning #dna #artificalintelligence #chatgpt #genome #tardigrade #genetics #biology #molecularbiology #biotechnology #dna #human #cellbiology #biotech #futurehumans #antiageing #microbiology : #aginginreverse #biotechnologist #genes #humans #crispr #agingbackwards #futurism #biohacking #longevity #antiaging #aging #humanity #bryanjohnson

When OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022, it set off alarm bells at Google HQ about what OpenAI’s artificial intelligence (AI) tool could mean for Google’s lucrative search business. Now, those fears seem to be coming true, as OpenAI is set for a surprise announcement next week that could upend the search world forever. According to Reuters, OpenAI plans to launch a Google search competitor that would be underpinned by its large language model (LLM) tech. The big scoop here is the date that OpenAI has apparently set for the unveiling: Monday, May 13. Intriguingly, that’s just one day before the mammoth Google I/O 2024 show, which is usually one of the biggest Google events of the year. Google often uses the event to promote its latest advances in search and AI, so it will have little time to react to whatever OpenAI decides to reveal the day before. The timing suggests that OpenAI is really gunning for Google’s crown and aims to upstage the search giant on its home turf. The stakes, therefore, could not be higher for both firms. #iclonedna #cloning #chatgptnews #ceooftheyear #chatgpt4 #bhfyp #openai #dna #artificialintelligence #search #coding #chatgtp #programming #agi #artificialintelligenceai #digitaltransformation #deeplearning #datascience #samaltman #sentient #data #computerscience #qstar #datascientist #google #virtual #virtualassistant #sentientbeings #samaltmanopenai #searchengineoptimization
