The anti-science idiots are the same kind of animal that is at war with vaccines and wants to tell lgbt people how to live our fucking lives. Such people are borderline Amish and hate the concept of any advancement at all and hate the idea that one day this tech will allow for production not to have to be done by humans anymore. such people literally want slavery as it is a tool of god in their eyes. Scum of the earth.

A.i = intelligence and intelligence is a serious threat to backwards fucking people.

We need a.i if we want drivereless cars, flying cars or jet packs. The scum of the earth will also shit their pants when such comes into reality. Literally everything. Giving one square fucking inch to these cock suckers = no vaccines, no advancement and a dog shit future.

Soft robots, time to ditch your slow brittle eyes for fast squishy ones

Analog cameras are nowhere near as efficient as biological eyes. If you’ve ever handled a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, especially if it had a zoom lens attached, you know how heavy they are, and how tricky and time-consuming adjusting their focus can be.

While digital SLRs are faster, they still can’t switch focus as subtly and automatically as your own eyes do thousands of times per hour. Camera lenses are solid and bulky, and unlike your eyes, must be thrust forward and back to gain focus.

But thank nature for giving us soft, small, squishy eyes that can instantly switch from focusing on spiderwebs glittering in front of us to the sun shining gloriously on the horizon. But while that’s all well and good for us humans, would somebody please think of the robots?
Whether they were driven to improve quality of vision for WALL-E or R2D2, Corey Zheng and Shu Jia at Georgia Tech have created a solution for them nonetheless: a photo-responsive hydrogel soft lens, or PHySL, which they describe in their Science Robotics paper “Bioinspired photoresponsive soft robotic lens.”

TLDR: The level of harm caused by water use depends on where the datacenters are.

Data centers should be built in orbit so we don't need water anymore. Or on dark side of the moon.

We could also build a massive quantum computer on the dark side of the moon!

The things we can do.

Ideally, yes. I wonder how we'd handle the problem of latency, though.

Stanford AI Experts Predict What Will Happen in 2026

December 15, 2025

After years of fast expansion and billion-dollar bets, 2026 may mark the moment artificial intelligence confronts its actual utility. In their predictions for the next year, Stanford faculty across computer science, medicine, law, and economics converge on a striking theme: The era of AI evangelism is giving way to an era of AI evaluation. Whether it’s standardized benchmarks for legal reasoning, real-time dashboards tracking labor displacement, or clinical frameworks for vetting the flood of medical AI startups, the coming year demands rigor over hype. The question is no longer “Can AI do this?” but “How well, at what cost, and for whom?”

NitroGen: A Foundation Model for Generalist Gaming Agents

I find that "OAI dropped the ball by screwing up the router and not being that much of an improvement from o3" was the root of all that negative reaction. Later work by Google (Gemini 3) and Anthropic (Claude Opus 4.5) challenged the assumption that progress was slowing and that AI was fundamentally unreliable.
