One of my birthday presents. My family figured out I'm weird

IT WORKS FOR CHIMPANZEES TOO. Toxoplasmosis makes Chimps seek out big cats! youtu.be/aSR2-YAvEjg?...

youtu.be/xQXDrsFvhTU?... What's new with trying to create sentient machines with human brains at the helm. Also I think I may be desensitized if my audience reaction means anything

This week I learned: The name Angle is a name roughly 5k people in the US have because... I imagine people with dyslexia.

Every now and again I remember that time a professor told me to stop asking questions and start looking things up. Now the internet is mostly just AI articles. I'm still mad. Dr. Castello, I see you. I answer infinite questions now. 🫠

I gotta say, maybe making drones that run on fully autonomous AI is not the best idea considering they will copy themselves to external servers and pretend to be dead if threatened.

People often ask me how I live knowing all the crushing knowledge I spread. The answer is my friends and family find me insufferable. I kid, but they're tired of it which is why I make content.

One of the most horrifying realizations I've made in recent years is that I am well adjusted.

Working on the second novel while the first still isn't out. The thing that shocks me is I finished the last one.

I am constantly amazed by people's capacity for tolerance of cognitive dissonance

Biohybrid robotics is on the forefront of medicine, and that's a great thing youtu.be/EQbyd5JXQ6I?...

I apologize for advance for this. My mom asked me if I'm dating anyone. No. Her: better luck next time I said: I'm not sure there is a next time. I'm not sure I like men... Her:... Me: That doesn't mean I like women, though I do. I just don't like people. I like me, though. 😂

So we're trying to make skynet now youtu.be/0V3iAWnx4Gc

My favorite line of the week: So help me, I will put a cone on you so you will stop licking your attachment wounds.

Why we won't get genetic treatments for aging even though they exist youtu.be/uJuXA7hQ8RQ?...

youtu.be/verfo3GCidY?... Yep, disembodied brains kept alive for 5 years

I had a break in. I left a door unlocked when i went for a walk. I came back and smelled cigarettes. I shrugged. I invited a friend over, we binge walked AHS till 2:30am. They left and I heard something in my guest bedroom. A man bust out of the closet and out the door. I shrugged. Nothing taken.

I'm pretty sure a dentist nearly gave me lidocaine poisoning and I have have a bruised nerve. 5+ injections. Couldn't lift my head or swallow. At some point I just said "STOP" I felt instant numbness with the first one and that can mean a damaged nerve. I can't feel my face at all 6 hours later. 🙃

Forces removal of medical devices after trials. This is quite literally the worst thing I've ever covered youtu.be/AqzIX6w9SJo

looks like your houseplants can see you youtu.be/I05R_SyXraI?...

I actually hate that they trolly problemed people and made them bond with a robot and forced them to kill it with a Hatchet to save the others. Who does this as research? youtu.be/5fDalx3ghv0?...

Systems trap both the jailer and the prisoner simultaneously, neither fully knowing how they got there, only dimly aware they cannot leave.

Some cool news! I got one of my favorite artists on board to do art for the book! www.instagram.com/warpsol?igsh...

Did you guys know I'm writing a scifi-horror book? If you're interested open.substack.com/pub/bearbait...

Allow me to introduce you to bio-inspired computers and robotics. Computers with blood! youtu.be/FaZFWVcCGqg

We hit Black Mirror full stop youtu.be/Q1dhgFZc7Js?...

Hello all, I'm writing a book. Scifi horror. If you want to keep up with that, get updates or give feedback. This is where to go substack.com/@bearbaitoff...

First biohybrid computer released commercially. It runs on tiny lab-grown human brains youtu.be/q8AgmVaxlVM?...

Gene editing may be a standard treatment for many diseases youtu.be/0GL6qzYOMN8?...

Have you ever wondered why so many diseases come from bats? There's good reason youtu.be/BPSh6M9wTmY

Can animals experience mental illness? youtu.be/Df02pavxklY?...

Algae can cause neurological disease, photosynthetic hamsters and life on earth youtu.be/2wt-sJpO1eM

Facebook finally removing their racist AI bot accounts. They were designed for entertainment but ended up being something else. youtu.be/1VZwb_zxgNQ?...

It appears tiktok is dead. The SC has signalled they plan to uphold the ban. I am saddened as a chapter closes. I have no idea what app will take its place. But you'll always find me on Youtube. I will miss everyone deeply, I'm grateful I had the chance to teach so many so much.

What I believe to be the most important discovery of my lifetime. Silicon was the missing piece to creating all the materials needed to make protocells. Life before life. We forgot the soil beneath our feet. The sands of the earth. youtu.be/6iX67hDCJiI?...

What does the research say about screens and IQ? youtu.be/Dm-dJOjEiqQ?...

Working on some designs. I have been trying to make clothes I would wear, what do you think? What could change? bearbaitofficial.printify.me/product/1674...

Updates on the brain organoids: Treatments for strokes and parkinsons youtu.be/PeZNEHZhzcU?...

DNA can be used as a processor. 1000x more storage per volume compared to SSD. youtu.be/nk8PCVd8QLM

Making tiny VR goggles for mice, making cows and humans feel like they're in a more natural environment. Good, bad or dystopian. Why not all 3 youtu.be/e29eL9rEnjg?...

If you're looking for brain organoid updates. Implanting chips and then implanting into the brain. youtu.be/HXc_vxxsyzQ?...

I don't especially know now to feel about the death of Bob Bryar. I loved the band as a kid. People are complicated, and I wish people would act with compassion. People are laying it on someone whose dead, it feels strange. You can't hurt that person, only their friends and family.

The Rise of Brain Computer interface that gives sight to the blind resulted in hundreds losing their vision when the company went bankrupt. Worse the damage done to their eyes ensured there could be no intervention. No doctor would remove the device. youtu.be/HziQ3LwOO9w

Be kind to eachother. We are mostly all doing our best. Most of what we disagree on is a misunderstanding

NASA reports frog was launched unfortunately LADEE spacecraft launch in Virginia

Ive been talking with Matt about starting a podcast. I do the radio show every other tuesday and it's posted as mostly an afterthought. It's made for Radio. We may start a news show as permanent cohosts. Matt is used to doing social news. I do science and technology. It would make a nice mix.
