Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed the company has begun to introduce the latest version of its ‘Full Self-Driving’ (FSD) semi-autonomous software in the US, with its ‘beta’ title – which refers to a product being tested by consumers – to be dropped.

Mr Musk confirmed Tesla employees are the first to experience the new system.

Known as version 12 (or v12), the new FSD could signify a major technological step forward in the industry – allowing the car’s computers to make its own judgements based on what its cameras see, rather than relying on “hard-coded programming”, website Not a Tesla App reports.

Yes, if it’s quality life this is good and maybe even use this as an example of helping humans live longer and why not cats?

For the first time, the FDA has indicated a willingness to endorse a longevity drug.

This is good news and there’s hydroponics for homes. Gardyn is one such company but it’s expensive. A dyi might be better.

A research accident in the Binder lab at the University of Tennessee led to an unprecedented discovery about how plants respond to a hormone called ethylene.

That’s good news. Maybe there’s gonna be fewer super bugs springing up.

Researchers have developed a method that identifies bacteria easily, cheaply and more precisely than before. This can help reduce use of antibiotics.

Far too many antibiotics are used around the world. As a result, bacteria are becoming resistant.

Brain chips are no longer science fiction. They have become a reality and are transforming lives thanks to technological advancements, which allow a computer to decode brain signals, deduce human intentions, and finally enact them directly through a machine.

These systems that are making it possible are called BCI or a brain-computer interface, which studies signals from brain activity. Neuralink is the most well-known company in this field, creating a generalized brain interface to unlock human potential.

Three forces will shape the business of generative AI.

Will AI now move faster and be less controlled?

It seems that the chaotic events of the last week at OpenAI have sped everything up, according to most observers.

Those warning about the risks of AI lost the battle on the drama over the control of 90 billion’s start-up OpenAI as two of the three external board members were replaced, and the outed CEO Sam Altman was reinstated.

AI agents are what they ingest. Rather than scraping the internet, it would be better to confine their diets to books and encyclopedias, says Sorin Adam Matei.

Longevity drugs for our canine companions are moving closer to reality. They also raise questions about what it might mean to succeed.
