    Jump

  • I think they mean that content addiction (which we generally see in a negative light and has negative consequences) is fed by content creation (which we usually see in a positive light and is something that gets encouraged).

  • Under a new ordinance passed by Houston, riding an e-bike between 8PM and 4AM is now illegal. The Mayor of Houston says they are a major security risk

    Jump

  • Given how many lanes Houston’s highways already have I’m starting to wonder if the cars are the ones in charge there.

  • Did Scientists Just Achieve "Inception"? Experiments Show “Dream Engineering” May Be a Reality

    Jump

  • If this works out it’ll eventually take more than that. For example, if you’re accustomed to charging your phone on your nightstand and using it as an alarm clock, you’ll probably have to stop. Or if you ride the train or bus to work and nap along the way, you’ll do it without your earbuds in. And ANY smart device with a speaker in your bedroom will eventually be ripe for abuse, whether it’s a phone, smart mirror, TV, gaming system, etc.

  • So you’ve never fallen asleep thinking “I’d really love to dream about X tonight”?

  • Do you think intergalactic travel will ever be possible?

    Jump

  • Humans? Nope. Some kind of actual AGI that doesn’t care about long time scales and can be lashed to a metal rich asteroid and flung out of the solar system? Still probably not, but it could maybe make it to some interesting intra-galactic destinations.

  • My kids had a scouts "camping" trip here one year. Very surreal at night.

  • I think this is looking up at the shark tank (which is on the roof) at the Frost Science Museum in Miami. If it’s not, it’s something that looks exactly like looking up at the shark tank (which is on the roof) at the Frost Science Museum in Miami.

  • Neat ! What’s the reason for the influx of new users?

  • AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast

    Jump

  • It was also hacked almost immediately, having apparently been vibe-coded into existence.

    How Americans describe politician's views

  • Everything about this is nuts, but a special lol Kamala Harris on the far-left.

  • “This Was Not Accidental”: Scientists Unravel Video Supposedly Showing a Pet Cow Using Tools

    Jump

  • To me it sounded like someone was trying to manipulate the video or the findings or something. They could have gone with the much more straightforward "researchers observe signs of tool use in cow", but they didn't.

  • “This Was Not Accidental”: Scientists Unravel Video Supposedly Showing a Pet Cow Using Tools

    Jump

  • I think they make a distinction between acting on an object and merely using the environment. The first requires more agency, I guess.
