The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet. 1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them
🚨: Scientists mapped 1 mm³ of a human brain ─ less than a grain of rice ─ and a microscopic cosmos appeared.

.@jamestalarico: I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes. The only minority destroying this

As we think about President Lincoln on what would have been his 217th birthday, let’s listen to, and be inspired by, his words. Each generation is asked to preserve and extend the ideas of freedom and democracy.
