A cryptic six-word tweet from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman— Near the singularity; unclear which side—has left the tech world buzzing with speculation. Is this a warning about the dangers of AI, a revelation of progress, or a subtle message about the inevitability of the singularity? As whispers of superintelligence grow louder, it seems we’re on the brink of a technological revolution once considered pure science fiction. OpenAI’s groundbreaking advancements, such as the rumored o3 model, suggest that the singularity may already be unfolding before our eyes. But what’s really happening behind the scenes? Are these advancements paving the way for a brighter future or setting the stage for unforeseen challenges? And why has Sam Altman, one of the leading voices in AI, sparked controversies with his cryptic remarks and bold predictions? In this video, we’ll uncover the mystery behind Sam’s tweet, explore OpenAI’s latest breakthroughs, and dive into the implications of living in a world teetering on the edge of the singularity. Are we prepared for what’s coming?

Visualizing cells after editing specific genes can help scientists learn new details about the function of those genes. But using microscopy to do this at scale can be challenging, particularly when studying thousands of genes at a time.

Now, researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, along with collaborators at Calico Life Sciences, have developed an approach that brings the power of microscopy imaging to genome-scale CRISPR screens in a scalable way.

PERISCOPE—which stands for perturbation effect readout in situ via single-cell optical phenotyping—combines two technologies developed by Broad scientists: Cell Painting, which can capture images and key measures of subcellular compartments at scale, and Optical Pooled Screening, which “barcodes” cells and uses CRISPR to systematically turn off individual genes to study their function in those cells.

Through his research, the physician believes there are clues hinting at our reality being a simulation, an has even suggested that mutations are not random — which would debunk the theory of evolution.

The abstract of Vopson’s study read: The simulation hypothesis is a philosophical theory, in which the entire universe and our objective reality are just simulated constructs.

Despite the lack of evidence, this idea is gaining traction in scientific circles as well as in the entertainment industry.
