Yeah, that's going to require a NYC-style revamp of Detroit, which is unlikely. It's clear they took Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Dubai as inspiration but wanted an American s...

Sweaty pal— oh..... I mean, NERVOUS palms!

https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/2106889174066622598 Great. Yet more far-right insanity and accelerated decline of the "lungs of the Earth". Why are so many voters so effing stupid and short-sighted these days? The world seems determined to plunge into a dystopian hellscape ruled by extre...

Is it "breaking", though? ... Seems to be an old story from last year. I mean, you know why that's BETTER news, right? Solar surpasses nuclear power globally for first time Solar and wind are increasingly outpacing nuclear power globally, with solar generation surpassing nuclear for the f...

It's always the letters
Always zoom in onto the letters to see them become bizarre alien gibberish (or, if they somehow ARE still legible, bizarrely too "crisp" for such zoomed in distortion)

This dude I know used ChatGPT to do a frame-by-frame edit of DBZ fight scenes to make this
So it's AI video in the "classical" sense of making animation

Now that we're 3/4 of the way through the year, I'm very glad I didn't post my 2026 predictions lol I would have gotten virtually nothing right. The year turned out to be so much weirder than I thought it'd be, mostly for the worse. The only thing I did call was that AI capabilities would continue a...

I think Burnham is playing a blinder right now. Much more hopeful and targeted at the most pressing issues compared to Starmer. So today's announcements are: – an end to the pensions triple lock, potentially saving billions, to help fund a new National Care Service – plans for electoral reform (pro...

The fantasy is so close, just imagine it:
solar + wind + hydro + nuclear fusion, providing an incredible energy surplus worldwide for the first (?) time in human history

Funny thing is, one of the few good things Biden did was set in motion a national plan that would have led to America ramping up electrification over the next decade at potentially China scales.
Trump fucked that one up royally.

Seriously I'm not doing this to glaze China, they're just doing this and we have to post it

Wowwww that halo around the tower is so cool

Why I get called a CPC Shill chingchong Tiananmen Square 1989 fifty cents deposited: repeating the facts listed in this video to USicans

Disease (including aging) Help us crack biology to solve diseases. More than anything else, that would be worth it. After that, room temperature superconductors, molecular assembly, and proving P=NP would be the logical secondary answers. Honestly, if those four were solved, said super AI could lite...

Indeed The state of AI discussion on BlueSky was so awful that it was a major reason why I just don't use it I barely use social media at all, to be fair, and I'm sure I use Mastodon and Instagram even less Like, I get hating AI slop. I get hating surveillance AI. I don't find "stop all AI rese...
