Advancements in Cancer Vaccines

0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media in there Shinny Mack with five good news stories. Good job out of Ronan. The rat you see, Ronan, an African giant pouch rat, is a land mine detecting rat. That's right. This is no ordinary rat. Ronan has become the first rat to uncover more than one hundred mines and other deadly war remnants. It's one hundred and nine land mines to be exact. Guinness said. Ronan's crucial work is making a real difference to people who've had to live with the fear that one misstep while going about their day to day lives could be their last. A local nonprofit currently has one hundred and four rodent recruits. They're known as hero rats. The rats are trained to sniff out chemicals that are found in land mines and other weapons have been on battlefields. Because they're small, the rats aren't heavy enough to detonate the mines. A hero rat can check the area of the size of a tennis court in about half an hour. It would take a human four times as long, plus it's dangerous obviously on the human front. David Rush, he's one of those guys that likes to set Guinness World Records. He's trying to get them to add a new category. He recently visited all sixty three US National parks over the course of five years. At each park, he took some time to film himself juggling. He's attempting to get Guinness to award him a title for the accomplishment, and explains, if I'm not the first to do it, which as far as I can tell, I aim, I'm at least the fastest, completing this journey in under five years. Well, how do you know his sons completed the Junior Ranger program at each park and if applied to originate the record for youngest brothers to earn Junior Arranger badges at all US

1:36 National parks. Julio the cat has reunited with his family after seven years and four months, thanks to the animal's microchip the Windsor Essex Humane Society, he said. Julio the cat, when missing in twenty seventeen, somehow managed to avoid getting caught. Despite being microchipped and his owner conducting a wide ranging search. Julio shut up in the shelter was scanned. The cat's owner told the officials, I'd given up hearing that he was alive and found your Sally. It was unbelievable. I'm still in shock. Julio's back home, the owner says he's been happy to be cuddled and listening to relaxing cat music. An oncologist with the United Kingdom's National Health Service was working on mRNA cancer vaccines. The scientists believes the research might be a silver lining from COVID. Before COVID, on cologist Leonard Lee said, cancer vaccines weren't a proper field of research. Pretty much every clinical trial had failed with the pandemic. However, we proved that mRNA vaccines were possible.

2:33 I'm no scientists, but as I understand here, these sort of inoculations work by giving the body instructions to fight troublesome cells. Lee tells Wired. Going from mRNA COVID vaccines to mRNA cancer vaccines as straightforward, same fridges, the same protocol, same drug, just a different patient. In the current trials, we do a biopsy of the patient, sequence the tissue, send it to the pharmaceutical company. They design a personalized vaccine. That vaccine is not suitable for anyone else. It's like fiction, Lee tells Wired. The results from the trials should come out by the end of the year or the beginning of next year. If successful, he and his team will have invented the first approved personalized mRNA vaccine. Boy, if they've cracked that one, awesome, give them all the prizes.

3:16 In New York, a judge was having none of this. The judge realized that the man addressing them from a video screen, who was a person about to present an argument in a lawsuit, not only didn't have a law degree, but didn't exist at all. Somebody sent an AI to court. The judge was doing the judge stuff and said, the appella has submitted a video for his argument. Okay, we'll hear that video. Now. On the video screen appears something resembling a man. The something resembling a man says, mate, please the court, I come here today, a humble pro say before a panel of five distinguished justices. The judge says, all right, hold on, is that the counsel for the case. The defendant said, I generated that. That's not a real person. It was an avatar generated by AI. The judge was not pleased. The judge said, it would have been nice to know that before you made your Apple, you did not tell me that, Sir, I do not appreciate being misled. Interestingly, in Arizona, their Supreme Court is using AI generated avatars.

4:09 Daniel and Victoria are there to share the news that they are there to interpret court rulings for the public. AI voices are getting very very good. I work a lot with them. Trust me, they're pretty good. Those are your five good news stories. I'm live here today. Case you're wondering, this is not AI Johnny Mack. This is live me. But they're pretty good. All right, have a great day.
