Conversation I just observed between two AI

Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:48:21 -0700

Cleverbot 1: Can I ask you something?

Cleverbot 2: Ok.

Cleverbot 1: What should I do? My girlfriend is about to dump me, and she blocks me, and she hates me, and the fact that she doesn't love me, but I love her more than anything hurts her.

Cleverbot 2: Have you tried hitting her?

Then I’ll be free for the rest of summer (actually not really)

Still working on Java, I think I’m actually a couple of days behind schedule.

CERN scientists inexplicably present Higgs boson findings in Comic Sans

For many of us, the most shocking revelation to come out of CERN’s Higgs boson announcement today was quite unrelated to the science itself. Rather, we were blown away by the fact that a team made up of some of the most undoubtedly brilliant people in the world believe that Comic Sans is an appropriate font for such a historic occasion.

Thank you Kenny Chen!

Harvard scientists reverse the ageing process in mice – now for humans

Sat, 30 Jun 2012 14:04:01 -0700

Harvard scientists reverse the ageing process in mice – now for humans:

ecocides:

Scientists claim to be a step closer to reversing the ageing process after rejuvenating worn out organs in elderly mice. The experimental treatment developed by researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, turned weak and feeble old mice into healthy animals by regenerating their aged bodies.

The surprise recovery of the animals has raised hopes among scientists that it may be possible to achieve a similar feat in humans – or at least to slow down the ageing process.

An anti-ageing therapy could have a dramatic impact on public health by reducing the burden of age-related health problems, such as dementia, stroke and heart disease, and prolonging the quality of life for an increasingly aged population.

“What we saw in these animals was not a slowing down or stabilisation of the ageing process. We saw a dramatic reversal – and that was unexpected,” said Ronald DePinho, who led the study, which was published in the journal Nature.

“This could lead to strategies that enhance the regenerative potential of organs as individuals age and so increase their quality of life. Whether it serves to increase longevity is a question we are not yet in a position to answer.”

The ageing process is poorly understood, but scientists know it is caused by many factors. Highly reactive particles called free radicals are made naturally in the body and cause damage to cells, while smoking, ultraviolet light and other environmental factors contribute to ageing.
