How to Cure Aging – During Your Lifetime?
Why Age? Should We End Aging Forever?
The #rebirth of the #renaissance - or the renaissance of #modern #man in the light of #artificial/#artistic #intelligence
The essay focuses on the #image of man, #art, #science and #thinking of that #time and attempts to build a #bridge to the #new #age. Based on the #assumption that we are currently also in a kind of “Renaissance”, the aim is to establish links to the era of that #time.

I’m pretty sure it’s written in the Dutch constitution that you have to ask “what do you do?” before “who are you”… 😅
Anyone else got some fun (culturally unnuanced) facts about other countries?
"#Brain #Age" is a neuroimaging-based #Biomarker that estimates an individual's brain health and "biological" age by analyzing structural features from MRI scans.
The difference between this predicted brain age and one's chronological age can indicate whether the brain is aging faster or slower than expected.

AI isn't just missing the wisdom of older people; it is missing any resemblance to wisdom. After all, AI is designed to make quick decisions, not sit back, think about it, and ask you to reformulate it. Without listening and understanding, there can be no wisdom.

Pornhub offline... Et après ?
Ils ont 13 ans, un smartphone... et ils savent déjà contourner toutes les règles. La loi française pousse Pornhub à "quitter" le pays. La protection de nos enfants des images de la pornographie est un enjeu de société.
Mais pendant que les États tentent de légiférer, nos enfants naviguent plus vite que la régulation.
Entre vide juridique, enjeux éthiques et défis éducatifs : comment protéger efficacement les mineurs, à l’ère du tout numérique ?
