“Teams of AI agents working together” ― The Sci-Fi Future Being Built RIGHT NOW

Posted by in categories: economics, robotics/AI, singularity

When I have described my rationale for the likelihood of the Economic Singularity, key to this has been the ability of this new form of machine intelligence to make decisions and to make plans.


SummaryTatiana Mamut, co-founder of Wayfound AI, explains that AI agents are like human workers with the ability to interact and make decisions on their own…

New Dual-Target Drug Could Make Antibiotic Resistance 100 Million Times Harder

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, cybercrime/malcode

It’s easy to think of bacteria as one of the greatest scourges on Earth for the diseases and deaths they cause, and how they repeatedly thwart our best antibiotics, evolving into drug-resistant superbugs.

But really, bacteria are just doing what they’ve always done – finding new ways to survive.

While the search for new antibiotics continues, combination therapies are increasingly being tested to try to clamp down on multiple bacterial escape pathways at once, and limit the chances of microbes developing resistance with successive biological hacks.
