MicroRNAs in Bamboo May Be Rewiring Panda Genes

『V』𝚃『B』Casts┋
Despite their carnivorous digestive systems, giant pandas thrive on bamboo, and now scientists may have uncovered a key reason why. Researchers found that microRNAs from bamboo enter pandas’ bodies through digestion and help regulate gene expression, potentially shaping their taste preferences and dietary adaptations. These plant-derived molecules may influence senses like smell and taste, allowing [...]

Leading artificial intelligence companies including OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Meta and others have jointly pledged to prevent their AI tools from being used to exploit children and generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The initiative was led by child-safety group Thorn and All Tech Is Human, a non-profit focused on responsible tech. The pledges from AI companies, Thorn said, “set a groundbreaking precedent for the industry and represent a significant leap in efforts to defend children from sexual abuse as a feature with generative AI unfolds.” The goal of the initiative is to prevent the creation of sexually explicit material involving children and take it off social media platforms and search engines. More than 104 million files of suspected child sexual abuse material were reported in the US in 2023 alone, Thorn says.
