Ukraine. Our land. Given by God. Kissed by the sun. Rocked by the winds. Tempered by fire. Defended by its sons and daughters. It cannot be mistaken for anything else. It can never be given away to anyone. Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!

The first human received an implant from @Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well. Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.

If you want anti aging interventions and therapies in the 2030s, the number one personal strategy is to make money. After the 2040s it will get much cheaper. eg freethink.com/health/mrna-th…

izumi3682 thinks the technological singularity would happen ~2029 amongst AGI. #neuralink is currently the main tech which would allow humans to "compete" by synchronizing with AI. I would suggest neuralink as a means to "more directly access" the technological singularity.

Neurons are often represented as isolated, but in reality they packed very tightly. Tyler Sloan made this animation showing 364 neurons packed into a box roughly the size of a grain of sand. [HD: buff.ly/3WoadGZ] [author: buff.ly/3j1jnuG]

Ever wondered why you wake up even when the alarm clock isn't making jarring noises? Your body has a protein called PER that determines when you wake up. You may wake up X minutes before the alarm, to prepare your body for the stress caused by the alarm ow.ly/s4nw30o8Ioc

(from izumi3682) Nobody is prepared for how AI (Read: "#ChatGPT") will transform academia. (And probably everything else...) reddit.com/r/Futurology/comm…

trying gptchat, it even gives you how-to guide. Imagine what #gptchat could do if it had access to pubmed and scientific papers. I can see how this kind of AI would significantly accelerate science and technology. The information gathering speed itself...

lol, no need to bang your head on api references anymore
I would very much like to see a GPTchat with access to pubmed research, and subreddits like r/nootropics.
