At this point there's enough capital and talent being pumped into the industry that debating about whether and how we can reach AGI is moot. Enough or not, LLMs have shown that you can train an extremely advanced fascimile of intellige

Gonna be honest, most strategy games bog you down in uninteresting, obnoxious micromanagement, and most of them are very nearly the same game with different content. Most of the time there's a certain central archetype of optimal play(

To be fair, there is absolutely nothing within known physics that would explain why we're more than a complex biological computer and how subjective experience and qualia arise from it. So we genuinely cannot even begin to guess as to

If AI CSAM hides real material in a sea of fake, it means the fake has displaced it and killed its profitability. There will definitely be cases where it will make rescuing victims and persecuting criminals harder, but at the same time it&#

And so it serves as yet another reminder that any corporation trying to "do good" is just the usual sociopathic anti-human bullshit doing unusually good PR.

There's got to be some discoverable biomarker for it. If it's significant enough to affect gross brain function, it's got to have some effect on for example brain waste clearance, neurohormones, assorted growth factors, or pr

Essential tremor is a potential marker of prodromal Parkinson's, which has been fairly conclusively linked to gut microbiota alterations with evidence of dysbiosis, transmission to animals via PD feces, and improvement following FMT:

Don't we just need to induce new stem cells from the patient's own cells, and transplant those in?

1. I only read scientific publications. No way to find anything but SEO spam on Google nowadays. 2. Some probiotics might help, not sure which or how much. FMT should help. Healthy diets should shift bacterial composition favourably, though

That case report demonstrates why careful donor selection is critical. You want someone who maintained healthy weight their entire life, never had any chronic or mental illness, no GI symptoms, limited antibiotic use, no ADHD, autism, no fa

For the most part, as an adult, your microviome has a fixed composition - what you eat will rapidly alter the relative proportions of your gut microbes, but even drastic dietary shifts are unlikely to either kill strains off, or introduce n

The problem is not obsession with the gut, but that the entire notion of gut microbiota is being misappropriated by snake oil salesmen and "alternative medicine" crazies while healthcare professionals continue to have zero incenti

It really isn't that simple. Diet has a huge influence on which of your gut microbes flourish and even their gene expression, but as an adult, its effect on its overall composition are absolutely minimal - it can't kill any specie

Welcome to healthcare science, pretty much all of it is like this while the actual groundbreaking papers get 2-3 citations and no replications each.

He never followed any scientific method or tried to do a good job either. The Maslow's hierarchy of needs is literally just some random dude's harshly biased opinion that somehow became a huge part of our popculture, and this peev

I hate to be cynical, but all of healthcare is like this. The focus is on a quick fix for whatever symptom is present and anything that affects people's state and wellbeing is dismissed as in their head for decades until(if ever) the e

Nerve damage does not necessarily mean irreversible consequences, depending on the degree. E.g. any amount of sleep deprivation, both in terms of quantity and quality, causes (minuscule) brain damage, but even people with severe sleep apnea
