“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

I stumbled across this article about alternative protein sources. Many of them I had never heard of before.
It mentioned:
-winged beans
-grasspea
-lupins
-Bambara groundnut
Also, duckweed species can have protein contents of up to 43% (dry matter) and provide all essential amino acids.

Are the oligarchs investing more and more on chatbots and AI so as more water gets wasted implying not enough water for the poor implying no more communism? They will have a solid argument against it: not enough resources for everyone. Now is the time where resources are in surplus for the world.

I don’t think people yet fully appreciate how the “lethal trifecta” restricts agentic AI use cases. When private data access, untrusted inputs, and external actions converge, you create a structural vulnerability we don’t yet know how to contain.

A four-sided shape that will always come to rest on the same side no matter what side it starts on has been built by mathematicians, decades after it was first proposed to exist.
Mathematicians create a tetrahedron that always lands on the same side
With the help of powerful computers, researchers discovered a four-sided shape that naturally rests on one side, and built a real-life version from carbon-fibre and tungsten

Reposting this article solely for its outstanding #sciart (credited to actual human artist Simon Prades) depicting a theropod dinosaur track succeeded by green vegetation & yellow butterflies, underlain by orange-yellow lava & black basalt. 🧪🎨
The idea that there were five mass extinctions may be wrong – and it might force us to rethink whether we’re really living through a sixth.
There’s growing evidence the big five mass extinctions never happened
Surprising new fossil evidence undermines the idea that there was ever a mass extinction on land – and may force us to reframe the current biodiversity crisis

This is hardly surprising, the message that scientists should “stay in their lane” is just nonsense. Shifting research focus takes courage and sometimes necessary as times change. One make take a hit in citation metrics, but the broader impact as well as career longevity can be profound. 🧪
