Can Ozempic Make You Live Longer? AI Jedi Mind Tricks & Other Strange Things | Episode 6
What do longevity drugs, accidental inventions, ancient discoveries, strange plants, dinosaurs, and gullible artificial intelligence have in common?
Apparently, they all ended up in this episode.
I start with a fascinating new study in which older mice treated with semaglutide—the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy—lived about 12% longer. That leads me down a rabbit hole about how science and technology rarely develop in a straight line. Sometimes we invent something for one purpose only to discover that its real significance is something completely different.
From there, things get stranger: an unusual archaeological discovery, a rather demonic-looking flower, a newly discovered dinosaur—and finally, researchers finding ways to essentially Jedi mind-trick artificial intelligence into ignoring its own rules.
