Submission + - Here Come the Robot Swarms (wsj.com)
fjo3 writes: Forget teaching robots to think like humans. A field called swarm robotics is taking inspiration from ants, bees and even slime molds—simple creatures that achieve remarkable feats through collective intelligence.
Unlike traditional robots that take orders from a central computer, swarm robots work like ant colonies. No single robot is in charge, but the swarm accomplishes complex tasks through simple interactions between neighbors. Each robot interacts only with those nearby, sometimes communicating with sounds or chemical signals in particles they release.

A pony isn't good enough for Altman - he wants a unicorn that farts rainbows, shits chocolate, and pisses lemonade.
Submission + - Bill Gates Rejects 'Doomsday' View of Climate Change (msn.com)
fjo3 writes: According to Gates, who has long stood out as a vocal defender of the need to fight global warming, prioritizing the fight against rising temperatures above all else means that issues such as human health and equality risk being overshadowed.
“Climate change is serious, but we’ve made great progress,” he said in the memo. “We need to keep backing the breakthroughs that will help the world reach zero emissions. But we can’t cut funding for health and development — programs that help people stay resilient in the face of climate change — to do it.”

You should really try dog piss, it's got a bad rep but it's a great way to start the day!

Likewise. Ads are blocked, it's good enough for me. I do still watch movies and shows unavailable there, but when I'm sitting down to eat, or want something on in the background while I work, YouTube more than suffices.
Submission + - Vaccine Skeptics Said That COVID Shots Would Cause Mass Death. We're Still Here. (reason.com)
fjo3 writes: Millions, perhaps even billions of us who got ourselves vaccinated against COVID-19 should be dead by now, or if not yet, very soon. For years, prominent wellness influencers and other internet personalities have predicted that mRNA vaccines will lead to mass casualties. Infectious disease clinician Neil Stone has helpfully (and amusingly) compiled a number of such dire predictions.

Once I realized that a mix, once clicked, can never be removed, I deliberately click "not interested" every time I see one in my feed. Allow them to be removed from my account and I might click one, but until then stop showing me them!

If someone is crazy enough to storm a stage with a gun, I don't care what they say, or where they point that gun - always assume the worst. I would have dived for the floor, because I am not a brave person. But well done to the two people who took the gunman down, saved his life, and prevented the entire crowd from being traumatized. I have seen some dark stuff on the internet (Daniel Pearl; the Christchurch massacre) but I have never seen anyone kill themselves right in front of my face, and I can only imagine it would be a memory I would want to forget.
