Timelapse of Future Gaming Worlds (2030 & Beyond)
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in categories: education, Elon Musk, robotics/AI
The story of future video games starts when artificial intelligence takes over building the games for players — while they play them. And human brains are mapped by virtual reality headsets.
This sci fi documentary also covers A.I. npc characters, Metaverse scoreboards, brain to computer chips and gaming, Elon Musk and Neuralink, and the simulation hypothesis.

Cancer Cells Thrive in Body’s Sweet Spots: Study
Posted by Paul Battista in category: biotech/medical
Cancer researchers have discovered how mutated cells can sense the Goldilocks sweet spots in a human body.
Led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, an international group of researchers has shed new light on how cancer thrives.
Previous studies have shown how cancer cells can sense the stiffness of the environment they are in, from hard bone and tough muscle to soft, fatty tissue.

Cognitum S2 Episode 6 // Epigenetic Rejuvenation
Posted by Montie Adkins in categories: genetics, life extension
Things I learned:
1. Various tissues will have different safe zones of rejuvenation before they become pluripotent but we could make tissue specific treatments and treat them separately without effecting others.

Elon Musk’s brother ramps up vertical farming venture
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: Elon Musk, sustainability
Circa 2020
In 2016, Elon Musk’s younger brother, Kimbal Musk co-founded Brooklyn-NY-based vertical-farming operation Square Roots as part of a broader quest to grow fresh, local produce close to population centres and empower young people to participate in the sustainable urban farming trend. Over four years, Square Roots has grown more than 120 varieties of crop, including salad greens, vegetables and strawberries.

Firm managers may benefit from transparency in machine-learning algorithms
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: business, education, employment, information science, robotics/AI
In today’s business world, machine-learning algorithms are increasingly being applied to decision-making processes, which affects employment, education, and access to credit. But firms usually keep algorithms secret, citing concerns over gaming by users that can harm the predictive power of algorithms. Amid growing calls to require firms to make their algorithms transparent, a new study developed an analytical model to compare the profit of firms with and without such transparency. The study concluded that there are benefits but also risks in algorithmic transparency.
Conducted by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of Michigan, the study appears in Management Science.
“As managers face calls to boost transparency, our findings can help them make decisions to benefit their firms,” says Param Vir Singh, Professor of Business Technologies and Marketing at CMU’s Tepper School of Business, who coauthored the study.
