- GPT-4 was integrated into the channel via a new bot command (.gpt4) that supports 8 k-token context windows and can be used for brainstorming or protocol generation; users tested it on whole-body cryonics concepts using super-cooled nitrogen or helium gas chambers.  
- A PNAS paper was shared describing the first successful derivation of viable mammalian offspring from single unfertilized oocytes via artificial parthenogenesis, prompting discussion of replicating the process in mouse somatic cells.  
- Channel members crowdsourced a step-by-step protocol for inducing parthenogenesis in mouse somatic cells, identifying key reagents: mitotic inhibitors (colcemid/nocodazole), calcium ionophore A23187, SrCl₂ activation medium, and cytochalasin B to block polar-body extrusion.  
- The Zuzalu “pop-up city” experiment in Montenegro—focused on crypto governance, longevity research, and network-state prototypes—was linked and briefly critiqued as a “crypto-hipster” luxury-hotel event rather than a true city.  
- Conversation touched on practical cryobiology details, including the need to cool internal organs (not just surface layers) and the thermal-conductivity properties of noble gases versus insulating materials like silica aerogel.  
- Historical and religious references to human parthenogenesis were humorously analyzed, with speculation about karyotype anomalies (e.g., XY androgen-insensitive individuals) as rationalizations for ancient “virgin birth” claims.
