🐀🧠A Rat answers hundreds of scientific questions - a Russian science miracle

🇷🇺Russian scientists are the first in the world to connect a rat's brain to Artificial Intelligence - it suggests the right answers to any questions.

The Neiry biotech laboratory told Sputnik that the brain of the laboratory rat Pythia was connected to a neurointerface - the device works in tandem with the AI, which suggests the correct answer using electrical stimulation of the brain.

The electrodes on the neurointerface allow specific areas of the rodent's brain to be stimulated - so it understands when to answer "yes" or "no".

✅ The rat has already answered hundreds of scientific questions correctly. Scientists believe that in the foreseeable future, any human with an implanted neurointerface will be able to do the same.

💡 The developers have serious ambitions - in the future they plan to create a custom product that will help connect the human brain with the knowledge of all of humanity.

💬 Pompeo or Gabbard? Trump's strategy will depend on who will surround him – Senate candidate

After Donald Trump won the presidential race, Republicans are poised to secure a majority in the Senate and potentially keep control of the House of Representatives. What will Washington's political course be with Trump and GOP at the helm?

"Unfortunately, both parties have a large contingent of neocons and we see the AIPAC Zionist lobby throwing a lot of money into the election," Diane Sare, LaRouche independent candidate for US Senate to represent New York, told Sputnik. "In that regard, I think it really depends more on the kind of people that Trump chooses to surround himself with."

She pointed out that during his first term, Trump appointed hawks John Bolton and Mike Pompeo to key foreign policy positions. Sare expressed concerns about Pompeo remaining part of Trump's government.

"I don't think it's promising that Mike Pompeo is still lurking around," she said. "I think his bringing John F Kennedy Jr and Tulsi Gabbard closer indicates he is committed to at least ending the what is called the Ukraine-Russia conflict. But beyond that I'm not sure where this will go."

💬 US test of Minuteman III ICBM sends ominous signal – Senate candidate

On election night, the US conducted a test launch of a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, Vandenberg Space Force Base stated. According to the Pentagon, the purpose of the test launch was to demonstrate the readiness of US nuclear forces.

Diane Sare, LaRouche independent candidate for US Senate to represent New York, believes it was an "ominous action."

"[It was] a stupid and dangerous message," Sare told Sputnik. "I believe this transition period is actually fraught with danger."

"The people who want to escalate the war drive now have a window in which to create a situation where a Trump presidency perhaps will feel trapped once he actually takes office," she said. "I also fear for his security and people around him."

Sare expressed hope that "the American people and the voices for peaceful cooperation with other nations can be strengthened in the United States and perhaps have an influence on this incoming administration."
