There's an entire grey-market industry of rich assholes traveling to third world countries for "young blood" transfusions.

Funny thing is, it apparently works and the current study is just one more bit of proof. One quick trip to Ecuador and bam, 70+ year olds get six months of being as healthy as a 30-something again. Hell, I have to admit some mornings I'm tempted to try it myself, though I'm nowhere near wealthy enough to fly halfway around the world every few months.

I'm sorry you're getting downvoted, because I get what you're saying and largely agree (though I love programming and have zero interest in working as a meat proxy / reverse centaur).

The problem here is, you're describing a world where human labor is worthless. And I'm okay with that in the abstract; I harbor no delusions about the "nobility" of work for its own sake. Know who won't be okay with that (labor-cost-savings aside), however? The billionaires with a vested interest in preserving cut-throat capitalism who currently own all the frontier AIs.

Are we on the verge of a post-scarcity society? Maybe. Are the guys dangling that carrot, while building massive survival bunkers as quickly as possible, the same folks who have the most to lose from exactly that? Absolutely. It'd be awfully nice if we could get there without half the human population starving to death in the process.

Ironically, restoring the old methylation pattern may increase, not decrease, the risk of cancer. Here's why. When you get older, the risk of a cell's DNA accumulating damage increases. Sometimes, this damage can provide the mutations to make the cell cancerous. In order to prevent that, the cell silences gene expression by methylating sections of the DNA.

Now when you go and do a fool thing like "restore the reduced DNA methylation patterns typically found in young cells" (without repairing the damaged DNA) .. you're actually undoing the bodies protective mechanism and actually increasing the risk of cancer.

Upon reading the paper I quickly realized, predictably, that it's all baloney. By new heart they mean methylation patterns imprinted in the DNA. Is methylation anything to give a shit about when it comes to the heart? Most likely no. At best you could fool someone like Peter Thiel I suppose. What makes your heart give out is muscle wasting and narrowed or cholesterol'd up blood vessels .. calcification at the valves, fibrous scar tissue. The methylation pattern in the cells don't do anything much, fucked up methylation can cause cancer I suppose. When was the last time you heard of anyone dying from (primary) "heart cancer"???

america wtf

The headline is reasonable if we all agree that AI gives us something worth the down sides. We do not.

Few outside the billionaires of Silicon Valley actually believe the hype. The average Joe is largely annoyed when their favorite productivity tools suddenly have "Smarter Clippy" shoehorned in. Or talk with some of AI's heaviest users (programmers) and you'll hear a pretty common theme: "Wow, Claude makes it easy to hit my Q3 targets, bummer it's going to put us all out of work (or far, far worse) five years from now."

I didn't know I was so interesting there'd be 12 GB of shit on me.

If we eliminated the second and fourth through eighth amendments to the US constitution, Uncle Sam would have a much easier time solving crimes. Nobody is disputing that. We as a society, however, have deemed it unacceptable for jackbooted thugs to kick down our - your - doors at any time without due process protections. We would prefer some crimes go unsolved over living in a constant state of fear toward an uncontrollable police state.

If you live in a high-crime area, I have some bad news for you - The USSC has bluntly stated the police have no "duty to protect". The police could already be doing far more to help you, and are instead choosing to focus on high-value property crimes over keeping you and your neighbors safe. Do you really believe they just need one more civil rights eroding tool to finally convince them to make a good faith effort at doing their damned jobs?

What you need is the erasure of the "thin blue line", not more ALPRs to allow the police to focus even more exclusively on crimes against the rich.

We need to be able to track how many such reports are made on a quarterly basis. Not necessarily the content, but at least the number of reports and to what agencies. This should be tracked from both the government and the company's side.

AI is a metric fuckton of cons and a tiny pinch of pros. Typically we allow bad things to happen if they come with a greater amount of good, not the other way around.

Hehe, true.

No idea what you want to say.

This satellite is just one.

Here is how the orbits look like: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

Yes, so eventually it will be just like Chrome?

Manufacturers will comply with the letter of the law and include AM radios, but then charge extra for ones with FM too.

Just to inject some reality into this conversation - Despite what social media would have you believe, doxxing someone is not a crime in the US, except in a very small number of specific situations.

And most of those situations involve either a credible threat of harm, or tampering with juries.
