DrSingularity shares a Scientific American report: eye cells may have been rejuvenated in humans for the first time, with the trial focused on optic nerves damaged by severe glaucoma — potentially the first regeneration of its kind in people.
His framing: "Every time a doomer says 'humanity is doomed' a lab somewhere quietly ships a 'miracle'", using the breakthrough as a counter to AI/tech pessimism.
