f you'd like to take this up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a coffee mug, a glass, a tankard, a stein, a can, a jug, or a flask. A vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's call…
← Previous segment →make robots and they can make robot dogs, but can they make a robot dog that walks underwater? Yes. Yes they can. It's called the Honey Badger. And according to the site, these engineers have a quadruped robot dog that's about a foot long, and it can walk onto your pool and it can hide in the water. Now I can't think of anything scarier than seeing a robot dog come out of the water. If I'm ever by a stream and a robot dog ever comes out of that stream and starts coming at me, I'm going to run very, very fast. But then the other robot dogs will catch up with me and overtake me and put me in a cocoon and harvest me for energy, I assume. I mean, I don't want to read too much into it, but I do think robot dog walks underwater, harvests me for energy, giant cocoon. I think it follows.
And now, according to Science Blog, scientists can create cancer patients as digital twins to predict how well something will go. That's right. They can create your digital twin, and then they can put that digital twin in some digital medical study, and then they can see how you do as a digital twin before they do it to your real body.

For example, might I create a digital twin that figures out how to solve all the water-related damage in my house every single day? It could be that you're already a digital twin and that you've been created just so the real person who is you can see how your solutions work. And so having a digital cancer twin makes perfect sense.
And by the way, there are a number of efforts in the world where people are trying to figure out whether medicines are working the way they're supposed to work for your cancer patients and other people as well. So digital twin. Now when they talk about it, they don't mean it's like a simulation. Digital twin, but it will be your digital twin should not only have the same DNA that you have and the same comorbidi

ties, but it should live the same lifestyle. So if you eat a carrot, your digital twin should eat a carrot, because it's all part of the... did you do enough? Did you exercise? Apparently people who take Ozempic, the weight loss drug, they have far lower Alzheimer's risk. So far I'm surprised they know that because that drug hasn't been around that long. But they say a 40 to 70 percent reduction…
