Supercharging the gut’s immunity with butyrate
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, health
Researchers at the University of Oxford, UK have found that butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by gut bacteria, can boost the antimicrobial activity of immune cells in the gut, possibly helping them better fend off bacterial infections and improve immune health.
The study, which exposed human monocytes and macrophages (immune cells) to bacterial infections to simulate real-world scenarios in the lab, backs up ongoing research into the benefits of butyrate as a therapeutic component to combat conditions—from food allergies to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and support immune system function.

Can’t quite develop that dangerous pathogen? AI may soon be able to help
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in category: robotics/AI
AI tools are close to being able to do a host of dangerous things, like walking people through the mistakes they made during a failed attempt at making dangerous pathogens and guiding them to a better protocol. There needs to be a durable way to probe the ways these systems might be misused, even as newer and more powerful technologies are continuously released.

AI Industry Insider Claims They Can No Longer Tell Apart Real and Fake
Posted by Zola Balazs Bekasi in category: robotics/AI
The people building the next iteration of AI technology are growing concerned with how lifelike the next generation of generative content has already become.
In an interview with Axios, an unnamed “leading AI architect” said that in private tests, experts can no longer tell whether AI-generated imagery is real or fake, which nobody expected to be possible this soon.
As the report continues, AI insiders expect this kind of technology to be available for anyone to use or purchase in 2024 — even as social media companies are weakening their disinformation policies and slashing the departments that work to enforce them.
