Transhuman hackers are a growing subculture that implants technology into their bodies, but now, some hackers are weaponising their implants.
Len Noe is an ethical transhuman hacker and joins us to explain.

Ray Kurzweil tightened his timeline for reaching “the singularity,” reflecting technological advances that are bringing us much closer to AGI.
Is AI singularity going to happen in the period of our lifetime? What will be its effects? Learn all this and more from an AI expert.
What is the best way to think about human consciousness? This post helps you understand it seeing it as three loops.
“Bridge recombination can universally modify genetic material through sequence-specific insertion, excision, inversion, and more, enabling a word processor for the living genome beyond CRISPR,” said Berkeley’s Patrick Hsu, a senior author of one of the studies and Arc Institute core investigator, in a press release.
CRISPR Coup
Scientists first discovered CRISPR in bacteria defending themselves against viruses. In nature, a Cas9 protein pairs with an RNA guide molecule to seek out viral DNA and, when located, chop it up. Researchers learned to reengineer this system to seek out any DNA sequence, including sequences found in human genomes, and break the DNA strands at those locations. The natural machinery of the cell then repairs these breaks, sometimes using a provided strand of DNA.
Summary: Researchers have identified how the brain’s default mode network (DMN) collaborates with other regions to produce creative thought. By using advanced brain imaging techniques, they tracked real-time brain activity during creative tasks.
This study reveals that the DMN initiates creative ideas, which are then evaluated by other brain regions. Understanding this process could lead to interventions that enhance creativity and aid mental health treatments.
How and to what degree we respond emotionally to the real world is handled by a region at the back of the brain called the occipital temporal cortex.
Scientists reveal how brain activity predicts a person’s response — normal or abnormal — to an emotionally charged image
