Share a medical fact that would surprise most people💡


iShowSpeed is currently going viral after showing off his one year gym transformation 🔥


🚨 Futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts: by 2030, humans could be closer than ever to immortality, thanks to nanobots. Ray’s been right about ~86% of his past predictions. This could be his boldest yet.



this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get



JUST IN: Petri dish of human brain cells grown on a microchip has learned to play DOOM.


Scientists have trained 200,000 human brain cells grown on a microchip to "play" the original Doom “If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, Doomguy shoots. If they fire in another pattern, he moves right, and so on"

Did anyone realize what just happened here? This is one of the strangest things happening in tech right now. Scientists put 200,000 human brain cells on a chip and taught them to play Doom. Yes. Real neurons. > $35K per system > 30 units run on ~1000W > Your brain runs on ~20W > AI data centers burn megawatts They’re now selling Wetware as a Service. Developers can literally deploy code to living neurons in the cloud. This neither simulation nor silicon, this is Actual brain cells. Welcome to biological computing.

i quit bluesky this week because it's evil in ways that i haven't encountered online in decades
