Diabetic Man With Gene-Edited Cells Produces His Own Insulin
Currently, it is not clear whether any animal reaches an age comparable to a human in their 80s. Most species seem to age differently compared with humans. Some preliminary observations suggest that cats may share common patterns of aging with humans. We studied pet cats, research colony cats, and wildcats living in zoos to encapsulate species variation in the speed of development and aging. We found that cat and human brains atrophy with age, and that their age-related patterns in brain aging are sufficiently similar that we could use them to generate cross-species age alignments.

Humans are endowed with a powerful capacity for both inductive and deductive logical thought: we easily form generalizations based on a few examples and draw conclusions from known premises. Humans also arguably have the most sophisticated communication system in the animal kingdom: natural language allows us to express complex and structured meanings. Some have therefore argued for a tight relationship between complex thought and language, postulating that reasoning, including logical reasoning, relies on linguistic representations. […] Our findings reveal that the language system is not engaged during logical reasoning, and patients with severe aphasia exhibit intact performance on logic tasks. [PDF]
There are no new ideas in AI — only new datasets — All four big breakthroughs in LLMs happened because we unlocked a new source of data. What will be the next one?

An Australian scientist says probabilities are the leading cause of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances […] every instance contains a degree of poor weather or likely human error (or both, as in the case of Flight 19) as the true culprit.
