In preliminary research released this week, the vaccine appeared to reduce inflammation and other important biomarkers in the brains of mice with Alzheimer’s-like illness, while also improving their awareness. More research will be needed before this vaccine can be tested in humans, however.” [// Gizmodo »]( [/hustle] [30 seconds a day can make you 100x more productive | ProductivityGlide]( [30 seconds a day can make you 100x more productive]( ProductivityGlide is a bite-sized email with huge benefits.

They found that the animals need to be exposed to cadaverine, a food signaling chemical, at a concentration 10 times higher than normal before they register its presence.” [// Hakai Magazine »]( [/yikes] [Giving AI direct control over anything is a bad idea – here’s how it could do us real harm | The Conversation]( [Giving AI direct control over anything is a bad idea – here’s how it could do us real harm]( “One of the key reasons we shouldn’t let AI have executive power is that it entirely lacks emotion, which is crucial for decision-making. Without emotion, empathy and a moral compass, you have created the perfect psychopath. The resulting system may be highly intelligent, but it will lack the human emotional core that enables it to measure the potentially devastating emotional consequences of an otherwise rational decision.” [// The Conversation »]( [spacer image] [/cosmos] [PLATO mission could detect tens of thousands of habitable planets | Interesting Engineering]( [PLATO mission could detect tens of thousands of habitable planets]( “In 2026, the European Space Agency (ESA) will launch the PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO), an exoplanet-hunting mission that will investigate over 245,000 stars to look for planets similar to Earth. The mission is expected to find tens of thousands of potentially habitable planets.” [// Interesting Engineering »]( [/bites] [Get ready to empty your wallet]( [// Become the ChatGPT master you’ve always wanted to become »]( [// 30 seconds per day can grant you a lifetime of sheer productivity »]( [// Absorb the knowledge of business gurus, productivity hackers, health experts in just 15 minutes for 76% off »]( [/art] [@damonxart on Instagram]( [@damonxart]( Interested in having one of your social posts featured in The Futurist?
