Year 2022: Scientific progress

15 January 2023 · 1 min

The year 2022 is over. As with every year that passes, we have made some scientific progress. I found the following achievements interesting:

Diluting the blood plasma of older human beings rejuvenate them.
In a nuclear fusion reactor, we have technically produced more energy than we put in.
You can rejuvenate old human skins by grafting it on young mice.
ChatGPT is widely regarded as an AI breakthrough: it can produce full length English essays that could pass as high school work.

In a *fusion* reactor. We have been able to produce more energy than we put in with fission reactors for decades now.
