OpenAI's Innovative Partnership Takes Aim at Longevity and Stem Cell Technology
OpenAI has joined forces with retro biosciences to enhance lifespan through a cutting-edge model named GPT-4B Micro. With a hefty investment of $180 million from OpenAI's Sam Altman, this collaboration seeks to transform skin cells into flexible stem cells efficiently. Current methods are slow, yielding poor results, but the innovative approach using GPT-4B has already improved the efficiency of two crucial proteins exponentially, potentially revolutionizing how we think about aging and regeneration in the human body.
A Cosmic Forecast: Astrophysicist Adam Frank Envisions a Million-Person Future in Space
In a lively chat with Lex Friedman, astrophysicist Adam Frank painted a fascinating future where millions of humans thrive in space. He debunked the myth that extraterrestrial civilizations are absent, likening our current search to sifting through the ocean with a mere jacuzzi-sized net. With the discovery of exoplanets in the '90s marking significant strides, Frank pointed out that the universe harbors more potential habitats than we can imagine. He suggested that we might find evidence of civilizations long gone, and intriguingly speculated about what alien life might look like, from intelligent bacteria colonies to creatures incomprehensible to our human psyche.
