This video provides a progress update on cutting-edge research exploring epigenetic reprogramming and small molecule cocktails for cellular rejuvenation.

Dr David Sinclair delve into the latest studies on how these approaches can potentially reverse the effects of aging at the cellular level. Topics covered include:

• The mechanisms of epigenetic reprogramming using Yamanaka factors. The development and testing of novel small molecule cocktails. Applications in various tissues and organs Research on reversing cellular senescence and restoring cell identity. The use of AI for high-throughput screening of potential rejuvenating compounds.
This update highlights recent advancements, challenges, and future directions in this exciting field of research.

A serious knock to the head may also deliver an insidious blow to the human immune system – a one-two punch that could reawaken dormant viruses in the body, potentially contributing to neurodegenerative disease.

A study using stem cell ‘mini brains’ has shown that a herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection already ‘arrested’ by the immune system can shake off its shackles when brain tissue is injured.

“We thought, what would happen if we subjected the brain tissue model to a physical disruption, something akin to a concussion?” says biomedical engineer Dana Cairns from Tufts University in the US.

What if a distant planet held the key to finding life beyond Earth? NASA’s discovery has scientists buzzing with curiosity.

This revelation might bring us closer to answering one of humanity’s biggest questions: Are we truly alone in the universe?

Over the years, NASA has had its share of controversies, from concealed data to accusations of manipulating the truth. Yet, amidst the whirlwind of skepticism, the space agency occasionally unveils findings that could potentially reshape our understanding of the cosmos and our place within it. NASA has recently spotlighted a super-Earth larger than our own, with an atmosphere containing a gas typically only associated with life. This discovery invites a torrent of questions and possibilities. What does this mean for our understanding of life beyond Earth?

Even so, many wonder: If the universe is at bottom deterministic (via stable laws of physics), how do these quantum-like phenomena arise, and could they show up in something as large and complex as the human brain?

Quantum-Prime Computing is a new theoretical framework offering a surprising twist: it posits that prime numbers — often celebrated as the “building blocks” of integers — can give rise to “quantum-like” behavior in a purely mathematical or classical environment. The kicker? This might not only shift how we view computation but also hint at new ways to understand the brain and the nature of consciousness.

Below, we explore why prime numbers are so special, how they can host quantum-like states, and what that might mean for free will, consciousness, and the future of computational science.

Theoretical physicists predict the existence of exotic “paraparticles” that defy classification and could have quantum computing applications.

By Davide Castelvecchi & Nature magazine

Theoretical physicists have proposed the existence of a new type of particle that doesn’t fit into the conventional classifications of fermions and bosons. Their ‘paraparticle’, described in Nature on January 8, is not the first to be suggested, but the detailed mathematical model characterizing it could lead to experiments in which it is created using a quantum computer. The research also suggests that undiscovered elementary paraparticles might exist in nature.

In today’s AI news, AI or Not is on a mission to protect individuals and organizations from the risks of generative AI misuse. AI or Not, a widely covered AI fraud detection platform, has raised $5 million in a seed funding round to accelerate its use of “AI to detect AI” in images, audio video and deepfakes to prevent fraud and misinformation.

Layoffs And, AI media tech provider Runway has announced the release of Frames, its newest text-to-image generation model, and it’s winning early praise from users for producing highly cinematic visuals — a fitting compliment given Runway is known primarily as an AI video model provider. Could Frames dethrone Midjourney as the go-to choice?

In other advancements, ChatGPT maker OpenAI has finalized a version of its new reasoning AI model o3 mini and would be launching it in a couple of weeks, CEO Sam Altman said on Friday. The Microsoft-backed company has considered user feedback and, consequently, plans to release the API and ChatGPT simultaneously, Altman wrote.

In videos, character consistency has never been easier! Now you can use just a single image to generate consistent AI videos. Hailuo (Minimax) Subject Reference is AMAZING. In this tutorial they show you how to use it, creative use cases and a honest review. Enjoy!

When super intelligence happens technology will greatly advance we must merge with this technology.

The Nobel Prize winning ‘Godfather of AI’ speaks to Newsnight about the potential for AI “exceeding human intelligence” and it “trying to take over.”

Geoffrey Hinton, former Vice President of Google and sometimes referred to as the ‘Godfather of AI’, has recently won the 2024 Nobel Physics Prize. He resigned from Google in 2023, and has warned about the dangers of machines that could outsmart humans.
