🤖 Moravec's Paradox shows that what's easy for humans—like walking, seeing, or grasping—is hard for AI, while abstract tasks like math or chess are easier for machines.

🧠 Evolution honed our sensorimotor skills over millennia, making them intuitive for us but deeply complex to replicate in code.

🚶‍♂️ So while AI can solve equations, it still stumbles at stairs.

🧬 Clonal haematopoiesis (CH)—especially with DNMT3A-R882 mutations—increases with age and raises leukemia risk.

💊 New studies reveal that metformin targets mutant blood stem cells by suppressing mitochondrial metabolism, sparing healthy cells.

📉 UK Biobank data shows lower CH prevalence in metformin users.

🔋 Targeting oxidative phosphorylation may offer a safe, preventative strategy against CH progression.
