It often tends to be forgotten, but solar energy has a twin - renewable lunar energy - harnessing the power of the tides. Not everywhere in the world is suited to it. However, this company says there's enough of it to meet 10% of global electricity demand. Some places are especially well suited,, and they point out Alaska could get 100% of its electricity from tidal power.
For sure, I find it very useful for those purposes. But I think it says something significant so many people are using it for companionship.
This is a tentative result, it's only one patient, and large scale trials would be needed to confirm it. Still, if it is confirmed it's a significant breakthrough. HuidaGene is also working on treatments for Huntington's Disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD among other diseases. It's also working on various Ophthalmology related conditions.
I pretty sure that is the tariffs, this doesn't look like its replacing 20,000 just yet.
The big caveat here is that 'cured in lab tests' and a viable human treatment are two different things, and sadly the former doesn't always lead to the latter. Still, this points to what may work in the future. Just how much of our tissue could be replaced by brand new 3-d printed tissue?
We tend to focus on the many bad effects of AI, but its doing, and will do, plenty of good too.
There's a few different efforts like this. DeepMind have another one. I follow these types of developments as much as possible, because I think robotics is soon going to take off thanks to recent advances in AI.
Yeah they mention it can reduce stress on joints, for people with arthritis and other conditions this could be a lot more than a hiking toy.
I've no relationship with the company! In fairness, it does seem to work. I posted it as it seemed quite cool.
I disagree. There are definitely people who sincerely believe in AI 'consciousness'. Ironically, they are usually the first to throw about terms like 'woo woo' in any discussions about human consciousness.
Unless they are trained otherwise, AI will pick up all the biases in its training data. So far, as that's the content of the entire internet, I'm not surprised at this outcome. I'd guess AI training is the next battleground for the woke/anti-DEI crowd, so they can preserve these prejudices.
