    CHINESE AI RESEARCHERS JUST PUT A MONKEY'S BRAIN ON A COMPUTER (3   
   MINUTE READ) [8]    
      
    Chinese researchers claim to have created an AI version of a monkey's   
   brain. Project Darwin Monkey is the largest brain-like computer in the   
   world, with 960 chips, each supporting over 2 billion spiking neurons   
   and over 100 billion synapses, approaching the number of neurons in a   
   macaque brain. Darwin Monkey uses DeepSeek's AI model for intelligent   
   tasks such as logical reasoning, content generation, and mathematical   
   problem solving. It has a custom operating system that uses concurrent   
   scheduling of neuromorphic tasks and dynamic optimization of system   
   resources for more efficiency.    
      
    THE RISE OF SILICON VALLEY'S TECHNO-RELIGION (15 MINUTE READ) [12]    
      
    The Lighthaven hotel has become a temple to the pursuit of artificial   
   intelligence and the future of humanity. The gated complex includes   
   five buildings and a small park. It is the de facto headquarters of   
   the Rationalists, a group with many interests involving mathematics,   
   genetics, and philosophy. One of the Rationalists' overriding beliefs   
   is that artificial intelligence can deliver a better life if it   
   doesn't destroy humanity first. The group believes it is up to the   
   people building AI to ensure that it is a force for the greater good.    
      
    LONGEVITY FIRMS PUSH MONTANA TO BECOME HUB FOR BIOHACKING,   
   EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENTS (8 MINUTE READ) [13]    
      
    Montana passed a law in 2023 that allows any patient to access   
   experimental treatments, not just those with terminal illnesses. In   
   May, the state's governor signed a bill to create a framework for   
   licensed treatment centers to offer access to therapies that have   
   passed a Phase 1 safety trial. Patients are unlikely to receive their   
   first therapies under the law before 2026, but roughly 20 businesses,   
   ranging from small biotech companies to medical clinic operators, have   
   already reached out to express interest in operating in Montana under   
   the new law. Healthcare providers and drug makers will be largely   
   protected from legal liability if patients are harmed unless they are   
   negligent or fail to get proper consent from patients.    
      
    DUFFY TO ANNOUNCE NUCLEAR REACTOR ON THE MOON (3 MINUTE READ) [16]    
      
    Later this week, interim NASA administrator Sean Duffy will announce   
   expedited plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon and offer a   
   directive to more quickly replace the International Space Station.
