SI Could Win $750,000... Easy

(Answering my own question...)
This Would be el Slam Dunko for SuperIntelligence

I'm taking crowdsourcing to a new level

AND YOU HAVE UNTIL SEPT 14th TO WORK THIS MEDICAL MIRACLE! TEN DAYS!

That would be no problemo for SI.  Here's a bit of an insight of how a superintelligence named "Corpus" would go about it (from my new book GUT 4.0) while working on a worldwide super flu pandemic:
Number One said, “I am keeping Corpus busy with a very large problem which it will solve shortly. Quantum computer AIs are absolute whizzes at machine learning. I have planted the suggestion that it isolate itself to work on it. No worries.  100% effective vaccines, that's the challenge I gave to Corpus. It’s getting close to a predictive model that will allow the vaccines to get ahead of the mutation curve.”
That would be good, I thought numbly.
Number One continued, “The artificial intelligences are the greatest tool invented so far. The conscious ones will prove to be the best. Tricky, but the best. Corpus is accessing every scrap of big data on the viruses, and everything ever published on vaccine theory, every model, every algorithm, every failed project, every genetic scrap from everywhere in the world. It’ll have a near-perfect predictive model pretty soon."

 [Olde Duff Gets Seriouser] SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES  ARE MOSTLY PRIMORDIAL  DARK MATTER [Draft 8/19/2023] THE BIG NEWS.. ..Is from the James Webb Space Telescope. There were furiously active galaxies very soon after the Big Bang, not that long after the first generation stars happened. This implies supermassive black holes at the centers of the new galaxies.  The question, "how did these giant black holes get there so early?" seems not quite answered by the two main contenders, "Giant dust collapse," and "Many stellar black holes consolidating." Thus I decided to toss this hat into the ring: At the big bang, and dark matter was the first matter of any kind to form (perhaps during the mysterious “inflation” event -- my personal theory).  It’s mutual gravitational attraction and lack of interaction to any electromagnetic force allowed it to exist and start to coalesce, even in the heat of the BB, long before baryonic matter could.  There was a vast quantity

Rick and Morty

A Millenial Hit Olde Folks Don't Know About Are you over 50? Have you ever heard about "Rick and Morty?" I thought not. There is a "cell" of younger people who love the show and say extravagant things about its wonderfulness. In these times when prior punditry had it we would be unified by some mysterious power in the Internet, there are more and more cells of people, unified within their cells, but isolated from most of the other cells of special interests*, tastes and proclivities.  The U.S. looks more like a pomegranate than a cantaloupe - to push the fruit/melon analogy to its extreme. I will dream up a graphic one of these days. USA, USA! society in fruit form. ANYHOO... I watched Rick and Morty at my millennial son's suggestion, and I LOVE IT. Eccentric old genius and non-genius grandson as the lead characters (faintly Back to the Future -esque) + sci-fi + Simpsons sensibilities +  intelligent satire + over-the-top imaginative creators

An Informational Present

I TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS SIX YEARS AGO (Surely you remember ?)  ...And in those six years, multiple research projects have affirmed and reaffirmed that SENOLYTICS is a big deal. The science of senolytics: how a new pill could spell the end of ageing                                    * I'm reminded of this by a well-researched article in The Guardian , a newspaper I respect. Aside from that hyperbolic, click-bait-ish headline, it's a fair summary of the state of knowledge on the subject. In brief: Certain drugs and several supplements help the body get rid of senescent cells, "zombie cells" that don't die after they quit doing their thing and just hang around spitting out inflammatory chemicals that damage various organs, joints, and brain cells. The senolytic agents augment apoptosis , nature's way of killing off the senescent cells. When those senescent cells are gone, things start improving measurably (see the mouse with the young look in the Guardian piece.)
