World First: Patient Receives High-Risk Therapy to Make Cells Young Again

An eagerly awaited and controversial clinical trial to ‘wind back the clock’ on aging cells in the eye and restore them to a more youthful state has officially begun.

This week, the United States biotechnology company Life Biosciences, Inc. announced that it had dosed its first patient with an experimental therapy designed to reverse age-related vision loss.

The ambitious idea is to turn back aging by activating three genes in retinal ganglion cells, which connect the brain to the eyes.

Microsoft just announced the Majorana 2 — a topological quantum chip with qubits 1,000 times more reliable than its predecessor. I got exclusive access to Microsoft’s quantum lab in Copenhagen and sat down with Chetan Nayak (Director of Quantum Hardware at Microsoft) to find out what actually changed, whether the results hold up, and what this means for the timeline to a useful quantum computer.

Google Just Revealed What Comes After AGI And It’s Shocking

Google DeepMind just dropped a massive paper called From AGI to ASI, and the message is bigger than another AI release. The paper argues that AGI may not be the finish line everyone is waiting for. It may be the moment the real race begins. Once human-level AI can be copied, sped up, connected into agent teams, and used to build better AI, the jump after AGI could matter even more than AGI itself.

🚨 Why It Matters.
This is bigger than another AI paper. Google DeepMind is already talking about what happens after AGI. If human-level AI can be copied, sped up, connected, and used to build better AI, then intelligence itself could become an industrial process.
