New Genes Linked to Muscle Aging Discovered https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/new-genes-linked-to-muscle-aging-discovered https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/new-genes-linked-to-muscle-aging-discovered#respond Mon, 21 Oct 2024 11:24:52 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/new-genes-linked-to-muscle-aging-discovered

Source: Nottingham Trent University.

Scientists have identified previously unreported genes which appear to play a key role in the muscle aging process. It is hoped that the findings from a Nottingham Trent University study could be used to help delay the impact of the aging process.

The study, which also involved Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, Karolinska University Hospital, and Anglia Ruskin University, is reported in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle.

Hacker tricks ChatGPT into giving out detailed instructions for making homemade bombs https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/hacker-tricks-chatgpt-into-giving-out-detailed-instructions-for-making-homemade-bombs https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/hacker-tricks-chatgpt-into-giving-out-detailed-instructions-for-making-homemade-bombs#respond Mon, 21 Oct 2024 11:22:28 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/hacker-tricks-chatgpt-into-giving-out-detailed-instructions-for-making-homemade-bombs

When I was a kid we had the anarchist cookbook.


But an artist and hacker found a way to trick ChatGPT to ignore its own guidelines and ethical responsibilities to produce instructions for making powerful explosives.

The hacker, who goes by Amadon, called his findings a “social engineering hack to completely break all the guardrails around ChatGPT’s output.” An explosives expert who reviewed the chatbot’s output told TechCrunch that the resulting instructions could be used to make a detonatable product and was too sensitive to be released.
