Yeah, that’s probably not optimal… Researchers at the University of California-San Francisco, the University of California-Berkeley, and Salesforce Research, a science arm of the SF-based software company, developed an AI capable of copying evolution itself. This doesn’t mean the AI created some sort of evolutionary superior superhuman (yet), but instead, the AI designed sequences of…

I don’t normally post business news, but this is also a technology story. Intel used to be the gold standard in computer chips…but not anymore.

Scientists have created a self-repairing material from a tiny, but strong natural force. When two genetically modified bacterial cells come in close proximity, these proteins come together and keep the cells attached to each other. By surrounding each cell with this sticky, elastic material, bacterial cells will cluster together to form a living slime. For…

Let’s hope that 2023 will be a definite improvement over 2022!
