Two years before Demis Hassabis made headlines asking if AI could discover the theory of relativity from scratch, I was already testing AI on that exact premise.
Good to see Demis and #DeepMind are finally catching up to my old prompts!

@RealEmirHan If the receding wave wasn't INTENTIONALLY designed by the VFX artists to be the same one that killed Laura Miller, then it’s ΝΟΤ the same wave.
The observation is just a random coincidence and ultimately meaningless.
It's a movie, not a documentary.
@mkaristianou Απίστευτη ομοιότητα!
Προφανώς κάποιος είδε το email που στάλθηκε με την πρόταση για το όνομα και το αντέγραψε.
Το όνομα "Ελπίδα για τη δημοκρατία" είναι κατά τη γνώμη μας χαζό.
Δημοκρατία υπάρχει. Δεν χρειάζεται να ελπίζουμε.
Και περιστέρι+κλαδί ελιάς = ειρήνη, όχι δημοκρατία.
Are you diabetic?
How can you know?
You may think you just check your blood sugar, but that's just a snapshot of the moment.
𝗛𝗯𝗔𝟭𝗰 is more important. It's the average of the last 3-4 months.
Diabetes causes devastating complications for your eyes and body.
The case of 117 yo Maria Branyas shows longevity isn't just about telomere length.
Despite having 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀, her DNA stability and exceptional epigenetics protected her, challenging traditional cellular aging dogmas.

@PeterDiamandis University of Rochester transferred the naked mole rat nmrHAS2 gene into mice → more HMW-HA.
Result: +4.4% median lifespan.
Naked mole rats live 10x longer than mice.
One gene gives just 4%?
Proof of concept or “it worked a bit, by luck” with unknown long-term side effects?
@ParrishLiz In Greece, they've been performing Luxturna gene therapy since 2022 at a certified center in Athens.
It's available via full EOPYY coverage for eligible RPE65 patients from ~12 months and up — with best outcomes in younger children who still have sufficient viable retinal cells.
Sad to learn that J. Craig Venter died today.
A visionary pioneer who led the race to sequence the human genome and opened the door to synthetic life.
His immense contribution to science and biotechnology changed the world forever.
A true legend who will be deeply missed.
@davidasinclair Wrong.
Cloning doesn’t prove that “youthful digital information” remains intact. It proves the oocyte wipes the aged epigenome and rebuilds a new one.
Somatic cells have no factory-reset.
The youthful program isn’t preserved, it’s overwritten and degraded.
James D. Watson, co-discoverer of DNA’s double helix, has passed at 97.
His vision reshaped biology and illuminated the code of life.
His legacy will continue to inspire us all.
At GENORASIS, we honor his vision, advancing gene therapies to unlock human health’s full potential.
@nurhn_EK Exactly!
In NTG, the optic nerve fibers are less tolerant to what we usually consider a normal IOP.
For these patients, even 'normal' IOP is high enough to cause damage.
PERSONALIZATION IN TREATMENT.
Elevated intraocular pressure causes glaucoma, and patients ask what the “normal” limits are.
In reality, there are none.
Different people have different optic nerve tolerance.
Only GENE THERAPY can strengthen the optic nerve and make it resistant.
Prof. Georgios Daikos, a towering figure in Greek medicine and pioneer in Infectious Diseases, passed away at the age of 107.
A life spanning over a century of scientific progress — he remained intellectually active until the very end.
