    AI is finally breaking open cancer's most stubborn targets

    Revolution Medicines just showed that a drug targeting the slippery RAS protein nearly doubled survival time in advanced pancreatic cancer patients, jumping from 6.6 to 13.2 months. Now, researchers are deploying AI to screen millions of molecules against notorious, smooth-surfaced culprits like p53 and MYC that fuel roughly 70 percent of cancers. What used to take decades of chemistry trial-and-error might soon become a solved computation problem.

    Your unconscious brain predicts words just like an LLM

    Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine just discovered that the human brain continues advanced language processing even under general anesthesia. Using Neuropixels probes in the hippocampus, the team found neurons actively distinguishing parts of speech and predicting upcoming words in stories—mirroring the predictive coding behind LLMs. The findings challenge assumptions about consciousness and could advance brain-computer speech prosthetics.
