THESE MOLECULAR JACKHAMMERS TAKE ON CANCER CELLS IN THE LAB, KILLS 99%

Scientists have discovered a way to combat cancer cells using vibrating molecules. The molecules vibrate synchronously to rupture the membranes of cancer cells. They are activated with near-infrared light, which allows for deeper penetration into the body than visible light. The technique demonstrated 99% efficacy in destroying cultured cancer cells in laboratory tests. When tested on mice models, half of the animals became cancer-free.

STUFF WE FIGURED OUT ABOUT AI IN 2023

This article attempts to round up the highlights in AI development over 2023. It covers how to run LLMs on personal devices, fine-tuning models, the problem of gullibility, LLM applications, and more.
