This guy has a new theory of aging – that's it a program, not just systemic breakdown. There does seem to be evidence that accelerated aging occurs in timed points in our lives. So I suspect that there is indeed a program to it, much like puberty. It would be great if this guy could decode the program and figure out how to modulate it.

Mathematicians are getting serious about AI now. They created a  The Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics. It's kind of an odd thing to do. Like when feminists say "This circle is my safe space." It's just a gesture, and has no real impact. You don't see physicians making a declaration like that, when you know AI potentially threatens traditional medicine, too. Doctors probably know that such declarations are meaningless. It just makes you feel that you've achieved something.

Some people are taking Cialis because they think it will help them live longer. Well, it'll make something longer. Anyway, if you choose to go that route, don't get your supplements from Amazon.  You might get their "nearest unit in stock". I ordered Korean sunscreen from Amazon once, and got the American version instead, which contained avobenzone. Had to return it.

Bruce Schneier has a handy way of helping you decide it should use AI for a task or not. The idea actually came from AI researcher, Daniel Meissler. I like it.

It seems people are using AI assistants (probably ChatGPT, which is like Google to chatbots) to get recommendations for what doctors to see. Sounds like doctors better get on Reddit and start recommending themselves. That's what I would do. But using a chatbot for this purpose is really stupid.

Sad tromboneCEO who fired 900 employees over Zoom gets fired, demands job back.  Karmic retribution!

Imagine this:
A mother is suing Portland Public Schools and two school officials, saying she was banned from her children’s elementary school after criticizing its display of an “Intersex-Inclusive” pride flag and alleged gender identity lessons. 
Why is an elementary school getting involved in putting on a display of gender identity and some teacher's sexual preferences? This is what Portland public school students rank so poorly. This is what takes up time in the school curriculum instead of essentials.

People don't care about climate change crap. Even CNN is forced to admit this:
Blue state governments make you think this is something of urgent concern. Pay climate tax. Or carbon tax. And get rid of your gas-powered car. Build windmills and convert farmland to solar panel installations. Germany followed this to their detriment, and now they are frantically trying to recover
