ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web | The New Yorker
I'm more and more into idea that ChatGPT is like human on shrooms, much more creative and at the same time not capable of making simple tasks. It's like my first experience with shrooms, when you suddenly understand the whole world in it's multiple dimensions but can't concentrate to write a single word on mobile phone about any insight let alone simply remember where is your phone and how to write 😅

With Aera, CRISPR pioneer Feng Zhang goes after gene therapy’s delivery problem | BioPharma Dive
Cracking the code for delivery may also lead to new targets, perhaps in the central nervous system, heart or lungs, Akinc said. And it could also help with some of the problems associated with manufacturing the complex medicines.

Lipophilicity helps explain psychedelic drugs’ therapeutic effects | Research | Chemistry World
One more article about the recent research on internal serotonin receptors activated by Psychodelics👌
"He suggests that an ‘obvious candidate’ would be endogenous psychedelics. These are psychedelic drug-like compounds, like DMT, that are produced naturally in mammals, and whose purpose remains something of a mystery. According to Olson, it’s possible that these molecules might play a more important biological role than is currently realised."

The idea that ChatGPT is simply “predicting” the next word is, at best, misleading - LessWrong
Finally someone described it nicely
"I am reminded, moreover, of the late Walter Freeman’s conception of consciousness as arising through discontinuous whole-hemisphere states of coherence succeeding one another at a “frame rate” of 6 Hz to 10Hz – something I discuss in “Ayahuasca Variations” (2003). It’s the whole hemisphere aspect that’s striking (and somewhat mysterious) given the complex connectivity across many scales and the relatively slow speed of neural conduction."

Suppressing Symptoms – A Neuro-Chip To Manage Brain Disorders
"NeuralTree functions by extracting neural biomarkers – patterns of electrical signals known to be associated with certain neurological disorders – from brain waves. It then classifies the signals and indicates whether they herald an impending epileptic seizure or Parkinsonian tremor, for example. If a symptom is detected, a neurostimulator – also located on the chip – is activated, sending an electrical pulse to block it."
