Recent cybersecurity research has uncovered a striking vulnerability in Google Gemini’s AIpowered Workspace tools: hackers are exploiting hidden HTML code to manipulate AIgenerated summaries, turning trusted digital platforms into vectors for misinformation and phishing. This attack doesn’t rely on cuttingedge AI manipulation—instead, it uses decadesold web tricks to embed invisible instructions that only the AI sees. The situation is a stark reminder of how deceptive threats—both digital and biological—can operate invisibly, causing harm before they are even detected.

A pioneering study published in the journal Aging reports that psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms, may offer significant antiaging benefits. Researchers found that lab mice treated with psilocybin survived 30% longer than untreated controls. Notably, the treated mice exhibited slowed cell deterioration and showed visibly healthier, less gray fur—suggesting systemic rejuvenation at both cellular and physical levels. Scientists observed similar promising effects in laboratorycultured human cells, including preserved telomere length and reduced oxidative stress.
