AI and artificial life.

 

AI can modify life itself, and artificial cells can also modify AI. When we think about the DNA as data storage, we must realize that the problems are how to create synthetic DNA that involves only the things that researchers want. The other thing is how to transport. That data is sent to the microchips so that the computer can read that data. The answer can be electric impulses that the computer can read. AI is the tool that can read DNA better than play chess. The DNA is a linear data storage. And that makes the AI able to read it using microscopes and spectrometers. 

The AI can search data that is stored in CRISPR datasets. And search for similarities in the DNA that is taken from people or animals that have certain abilities. The AI can make virtual cells and simulations. About what kinds of things certain base pairs at certain points in DNA make. The AI can also connect and search data across species borders. And that allows developers to connect chlorophyll genomes to skin cells. That forms the green man. 

The same nanoparticles that can transport medicines to certain receptors can transfer the mRNA molecule in the same way in targeted cells. 

The AI can connect that data with datasets about the advancement of the fetus. Nanotechnology, along with advanced tools, makes it possible for the AI-controlled system to cut DNA and connect the new bits of DNA into those holes. The other way is to create artificial mRNA whose mission is to control the cell organelles. The system must just create the mRNA molecule that controls the cell organelle, and then that cell can create anything that the mRNA encodes it to create. 

The pathogen that can basically transform species into new ones can be based on the mRNA viruses or packages. Those mRNA molecules order the cell to create copies of itself. And then finally transform the cell into another. The mRNA is the tool that can order the mitochondria to decay in the muscle cells and that increases those cells' power. The artificial cells can also create neurotransmitters and electric impulses that allow the system to transfer memories into the nervous system. And basically, all our skills are based on memories. That is one of the things that we should know when we create new artificial species: are they bacteria or more complicated species? 

Natural bacteria cannot communicate or transmit data to the nervous system. But artificial cells can do that. And when we think about the ability to live forever or fix large-scale injuries, we must create neurons and then transmit lost data to those neurons. The single neuron involves only 1-5 bits of data. Thoughts and memories are formed in connections and states of those neurons, which humans have over 86 million, but our brains can connect those neurons into virtual neurons. 

And the connections between neurons are as important as the number of physical neurons. When a neuron is lost in an accident, the data that is involved is lost. The artificial cell can transport memories back into those cells. But that requires that the lost data is stored somewhere. And the second thing is that the system must have the ability to create artificial DNA that involves data that is normally stored in the brain. 

Things like intelligent tattoos that involve small-sized nanotechnical microchips or neurological microchips that are implanted into people’s brains can make it possible to return those memories. If the neuroimplanted microchips can transport data from memory centers to hard disks, it makes it possible to return those memories using artificial cells. That thing can restore the abilities of the badly damaged people. The brain-implanted microchips can also make it possible to read people’s minds. And that thing can turn humans more than we are today.

Could viruses be more active than researchers expected?

(Right:)"A delta bacteriophage. The first was identified in a new study in Frontiers in Microbiology to have binding sites for CtrA. A protein produced by the bacteriophage’s host that regulates the production of pili and flagella. The presence of these binding sites only in phages that require their host cells to have pili/flagella to infect them suggests that the phage is monitoring the presence of this protein to “decide” whether to stay put or replicate and emerge from its host cell.

Could viruses be more active than researchers expected? 

Some viruses might be more active than nobody expected. The bacteriophages can even swim to their target cell. So in that case virus will not just wait for the cell it swims to its target. This ability is suitable for bacteriophages that are hunting for bacteria from nature. 

There is the possibility that some viruses have a more complicated data-analyzation system than nobody expected. We know that the DNA plasmid of bacteria can operate as the chemical brain. But the new research shows, that also the DNA or RNA of viruses can act similar way, as the DNA plasmid of bacteria. 

So also, viruses might have this kind of chemical computer or chemical brain. The chemical brain of viruses could also have some kind of sensors. The proteins that form viruses could act as sensors and at least some viruses can swim to their target. 

The reason, why some people believe that especially bacteriophages must swim to their target is that those viruses must find the bacteria that are not resistant to those viruses. If viruses have this swimming ability they could revolutionize medical work. That ability makes it possible to create intelligent medicines that DNA or RNA controls. And this thing can make it possible to create also small but complicated nanomachines. 

When we look at the form of bacteriophages. It looks like a tiny space rocket. And the small feet of the virus can also help it to track the cells and swim to the target. The idea is that when a certain molecule hits a certain point of a virus. It activates an electrochemical reaction that moves the feet of the virus. And the form of the virus helps it adjust the direction where it moves. 

Then this genius system turns the virus upside down and makes it to "land" over the ion pump of the cell. The ion pump pulls the bottom of the virus to it. And then it simply pulls the genome of the virus to the cell. Or there is a possibility. That there is a cutter enzyme at the front of the DNA or RNA of the virus. When a virus touches the core of its victim it shoots its genome straight through the cell.
