"When… in the course of all these thousands of years has man ever acted in accordance with his own interests?"

"A team of researchers backed by Alzheimer’s Research UK and the Alzheimer’s Society have launched a £5m project to trial simple blood tests in the NHS, with the hope of speeding up diagnosis and reaching more people. They aim to be able to determine whether someone has the disease using a single drop of blood."

"Then, 20-odd years ago, some researchers began to ask a heretical question: is the brain really so isolated? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no — and has important implications for both science and health care."

This chart is scary.

Many people have said AI can potentially increase human jobs due to the massive productivity boost it offers.

In reality, freelancing jobs and income have been almost in a free fall since ChatGPT was launched.

What do you think, will this turn around? Or are we headed to an AI-driven jobocalypse?

"The NLOS that spits out the Transplant Benefit Scores is one of dozens of algorithms in use in healthcare systems around the world. These applied statistical systems are used by physicians and hospitals to aid decisions such as who receives heart surgery and organ transplantation, which patients are at the highest risk of surgical complications, and in diagnosing cancers and brain injury. The intent behind predictive algorithms, like the NLOS, is to make consequential decisions fairer."

"The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report projects that, by 2050, global average sea levels will likely rise by 7 to 9 inches, or 18 to 23 centimeters. By 2100, they will likely rise by more than a foot or even more than two feet. The behavior of ice shelves is one of the biggest uncertainties currently complicating these estimates."

Getting lots of spam to my uni email address from “42 market research" based in Dubai. Asking me to fill out a questionnaire about cancer (the type varies) in exchange for £60 (the sum varies). A few messages per day. Seems the Uni spam filter has not yet caught on.
