Unlike previous AI simulations where agents existed in consequence-free bubbles, TerraLingua operates more like a real ecosystem. Agents have limited resources and finite lifespans. When an agent “dies,” it’s gone—but here’s the twist: anything it created “survives.” A tool, a rule, a piece of knowledge—these artifacts live on, shaping how future generations of agents behave and interact.
Introducing TerraLingua, a multi-agent LLM ecology that shows how AI agents interact, cooperate, and build shared culture over time in a persistent environment.
A machine-learning model that integrates data from wearable devices (such as smartwatches) with blood biomarkers and demographic data can predict whether someone has insulin resistance, enabling timely lifestyle interventions to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
Heart disease is the leading cause of adult death worldwide, making cardiovascular disease diagnosis and management a global health priority. An echocardiogram, or cardiac ultrasound, is one of the most commonly used imaging tools employed by physicians to diagnose a variety of heart diseases and conditions.
Most standard echocardiograms provide two-dimensional visual images (2D) of the three-dimensional (3D) cardiac anatomy. These echocardiograms often capture hundreds of 2D slices or views of a beating heart that can enable physicians to make clinical assessments about the function and structure of the heart.
To improve diagnostic accuracy of cardiac conditions, researchers from UC San Francisco set out to determine whether deep neural networks (DNNs), a type of AI algorithm, could be re-designed to better capture complex 3D anatomy and physiology from multiple imaging views simultaneously. They developed a new “multiview” DNN structure—or architecture—to enable it to draw information from multiple imaging views at once, rather than the current approach of using only a single view. They then trained demonstration DNNs using this architecture to detect disease states for three cardiovascular conditions: left and right ventricular abnormalities, diastolic dysfunction, and valvular regurgitation.
About this video: In this video, Elon Musk joins Lex Fridman to discuss one of the most profound questions of our time: Are we living in a simulation? When asked what single question he would pose to an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Musk delivers a mind-bending response that challenges our entire perception of reality. He dives deep into the Simulation Theory, questioning what exists beyond the “digital” boundaries of our universe and whether we can ever truly know the truth. If you’ve ever wondered about the Matrix, the future of AI, or the mystery of existence, this conversation is a must-watch!

Inside a diseased cell, the genes are in chaos. Some are receiving signals to overproduce a protein. Others are reducing activity to abnormal levels. Up is down and down is up. The right molecule could restore order, reversing dysregulation in specific genes. But finding the ideal compound could require examining millions of chemicals for their influence on hundreds or thousands of genes.
An MSU-led team of researchers has demonstrated a better way. Using machine learning trained on enormous amounts of published data, they were able to predict how chemicals will influence gene expression, based solely on the structure of the chemical.
Their study, recently published in the journal Cell, has discovered compounds that are promising for treatment of two difficult diseases: the most aggressive form of liver cancer and a chronic lung disease with no curative options.
By tracking nearly every movement of a tiny fish’s life from adolescence to death, a new Science study reveals a hidden behavioral blueprint of aging—one that can predict a fish’s age or how long an individual will live.
Mapping behavior of individual vertebrate animals across lifespan could provide an unprecedented view into the lifelong process of aging. We created a platform for high-resolution continuous behavioral tracking of the African killifish across natural lifespan from adolescence to death. We found that animals follow distinct individual aging trajectories. The behaviors of long-lived animals differed markedly from those of short-lived animals, even relatively early in life, and were linked to organ-specific transcriptomic shifts. Machine-learning models accurately inferred age and even forecasted an individual’s future lifespan, given only behavior at a young age. Finally, we found that animals progressed through adulthood in a sequence of stable and stereotyped behavioral stages with abrupt transitions, revealing precise structure for an architecture of aging.
Bulk and single-cell transcriptomics are widely used to characterize diseases and cellular states but remain underexplored for de novo drug discovery. Here, we present a strategy to screen and optimize compounds by matching disease transcriptomic profiles with compound-induced transcriptomic features predicted from chemical structures using a deep-learning model.
As part of Future Day 2026, we hosted a conversation between two of the most provocative minds in AGI – Ben Goertzel and Hugo de Garis (with Adam Ford as moderator/provocateur) – to tackle the ultimate existential question: Is an Artilect War inevitable, and should humanity accept becoming the “number two” species?
The discussion will build upon last years discussion between Ben and Hugo on AGI and the Singularity.
It will explore the idea of human transcendence. If we can’t beat them, do we join them?
Will humanity transcend into a Jupiter brain quectotech utility fog?
Is the Artilect War the inevitable conclusion of biological intelligence? Or can we find a path toward existing in a universe that still finds us aesthetically pleasing?
