    The robots-the aliens , and other cultures are fighting back with original people and driving the oppressors off Earth, forcing them to retreat to colonies on Mars.?😲🔥
    @cosmology bey

    Don't think that genetically modified people are not walking among you. A Chinese researcher by the name of He Jiankui modified the genes of twins .

    Yes. It's real "Jiankui" engineered twin girls—offspring of a healthy mother and an HIV-positive father. The twin girls were born to be resistant to HIV, the virus that causes AIDS- by using a nascent gene-editing technology called Crispr-Cas9 stunning the global scientific community… Look it up!

Anthropic insider warns AI could ‘kill all humans’. Should we be scared? | BBC News

Published

on



A top safety researcher at Anthropic has warned AI is advancing so quickly he believes there is a greater than 10% chance it “could kill all humans” within the next decade.

Evan Hubinger said the risk from the models which currently exist was “low” but he was “worried” the technology might develop and improve itself soon to the point where it posed an existential risk to humanity.

Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher who has just quit Anthropic and previously worked at OpenAI, has also said “neither company is acting responsibly”.

In this video…

Are AI smart glasses the future, or have they gone too far? | BBC News

Published

on



AI-powered smart glasses are rapidly moving from science fiction into everyday life.

Meta has already sold millions of pairs, with supporters claiming they could become the next major computing platform, helping people make calls, translate languages, identify objects and navigate the world hands-free.

Privacy campaigners warn they could enable covert surveillance and lawsuits have raised concerns about consent and data collection, and some venues have banned them altogether.

Some critics have labelled them “spy glasses” and “pervert glasses”.

So are smart glasses a new surveillance threat? Or are we in danger of demonising a technology with the potential to benefit millions?

Joining the discussion are AI ethicist Dr Stephanie Hare, Silkie Carlo from Big Brother Watch, and consumer tech expert Ben Hatton from CCS Insight.

We also hear from women concerned about the impact of Meta’s smart glasses in a BBC News report.

🎧 Watch now and decide for yourself: are AI smart glasses the future, or have they gone too far?

Will the new cancer vaccine survive RFK Jr’s America? | BBC News

Published

on



A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.

But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.

In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.

We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.
