Meta and Elon Musk are concerned about potential market distortions and the misuse of charitable assets as OpenAI transitions from nonprofit to for-profit status. They argue this could set a dangerous precedent for Silicon Valley startups.
OpenAI released emails showing Elon Musk's attempt to gain control of the company in 2017, seeking a 50-60% stake and the CEO position, which OpenAI rejected due to concerns about concentrated power.
Mirror bacteria, with reversed molecular structures, could evade natural biological defenses, disrupt food webs, alter microbial communities, and pose significant containment challenges in labs, potentially leading to ecological disruptions.
Reports indicate hundreds of safety breaches occur annually in labs handling dangerous pathogens, highlighting the risks of mirror bacteria escaping containment.
The model suggests that cellular death is a process rather than a fixed state and that under certain conditions, cells may be revivable, challenging the traditional binary view of life and death at the cellular level.
The model aligns with observations of a third state of cellular function, where cells exhibit increased gene expression, altered communication patterns, and heightened metabolic activity after death.
Potential applications include revolutionizing organ transplantation by extending organ viability, offering new cancer research insights, and enabling personalized medicine approaches for diseases characterized by cellular dysfunction.

In this episode of Discover Daily, we dive into the latest developments in the AI industry, where Meta and Elon Musk have formed an unexpected alliance to challenge OpenAI's transition from nonprofit to for-profit status. The controversy deepens as OpenAI reveals past emails showing Musk's attempts to gain control of the company, while Meta raises concerns about potential market distortions and the misuse of charitable assets
The scientific community sounds an alarm about the emerging threat of 'mirror bacteria' - synthetic microorganisms with reversed molecular structures that could potentially evade natural biological defenses. Leading scientists, including Nobel laureates, warn about these engineered organisms' ability to disrupt food webs, alter microbial communities, and pose significant containment challenges in laboratory settings
Our main story explores groundbreaking research from the University of Tokyo, where scientists have developed a revolutionary mathematical model suggesting cells may be revivable after traditional death. This pioneering framework challenges our understanding of cellular death as a binary state, offering potential applications in organ transplantation, cancer research, and regenerative medicine. The model's implications could transform our approach to treating degenerative diseases and reshape our understanding of cellular life cycles.From Perplexity's Discover Feed):https://www.perplexity.ai/page/meta-wants-openai-for-profit-b-S1cwQgnXQPeKw9naUsvNfQ)https://www.perplexity.ai/page/mirror-microbe-threat-warning-_ZXTBw9cTj6jbVaTlnz4vQ)https://www.perplexity.ai/page/cells-can-be-revived-mOenkjuITQi_ZQAxxmQHmg)
