Combat Age: More Advanced Systems Ex CEO Of Google Eric Schmidt Speaks and more
A US government agency is funding a controversial research project aimed at extending human life by replacing ageing body parts, including the brain.
The work of scientist Jean Hébert. His theory is that by gradually replacing old brain tissue with new, lab-grown tissue, it’s possible to maintain cognitive function and potentially extend life indefinitely.
Key points:
- Radical Approach: Hébert’s idea of total body replacement is highly controversial and not widely accepted in the scientific community.
- Brain Focus: The initial focus is on replacing sections of the brain with lab-grown tissue.
- Ethical Concerns: The use of foetal tissue and the potential creation of “non-sentient” human bodies raise significant ethical questions.
- Scientific Challenges: There are numerous scientific hurdles to overcome, including the ability of new tissue to integrate and function within an ageing brain.
- Government Backing: ARPA-H’s support of Hébert’s project signals a significant investment in this radical approach to ageing.
While the concept is far-fetched, the research could potentially lead to breakthroughs in treating brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and stroke. However, the path to achieving Hébert’s ultimate goal of immortality is fraught with challenges and uncertainties.
Why America Needs a National Compute Strategy (like the Apollo program)
According to Eric Schmidt who was the CEO of Google from 2001 to 2011 we urgently need to get behind innovation, as did president Kennedy with Apollo. If we don’t then we run the risk of not realising the potential and losing out.
If you go back to the investment President Kennedy made into the space race you will not believe what we take for granted from those innovations. I have included a list below of some of the most important innovations to come from this investment. In today’s money, it would have equaled 100 Billion USD. Just think that phone you are reading this on, or that laptop would not be here without this…!
“From 1961 to 2000, MIT received a total of $794 million in NASA funding. Draper Laboratory received an additional $248 million from NASA since its divestment from MIT in 1973. During the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2000, MIT received $21.5 million in NASA funding. Read more on the Apollo Program here: https://legacymediahub.com/what-will-the-future-look-like/

- AI is a global competition: Countries are racing to develop AI capabilities, with significant investments in computing power.
- US needs more computing power: To maintain its leadership in AI, the US must invest in high-performance computing infrastructure.
- Government-led initiative: A national compute strategy, similar to the Apollo program, is necessary to fund research and development.
- Focus on talent: Attracting and retaining top AI talent is crucial for the US to succeed.
- Hybrid approach: Combining government-owned supercomputers with commercial cloud services is recommended.
- Benefits for the public: Investing in computing infrastructure will lead to advancements in various fields and improve public services.
- Urgent action: The US must act quickly to avoid falling behind other countries in the AI race.
