Okay, so it is a clickbait title that “disproves” the claim. The bigger issue, in my opinion, is what about all the energy needed to recharge the batteries? Last I checked, most of…

What I find so odd about all this stuff is the target is very rarely OpenAI/ChatGPT. I understand it can be a useful tool, but if your concern is that AI has scanned your books wit…

I have received Apple satisfaction surveys before and the options are basically this: How satisfied are you with your new iPhone? * Insanely satisfied * Extremely satisfied * Very …

I am not entirely sure why you are getting downvoted. It says right in the study > Vaccine-expanded T cells were durable, persisting up to 2 years despite post-vaccination mFOLFIRI…

Of course this isn’t and wasn’t ever about TikTok. The same way the original Patriot Act was never really about catching terrorists. When a bill has broad bipartisan support you ca…

Yeah. Bitcoin is on a four year cycle due to the supply cutting in half every four years. Look at 2014, 2018, and now 2022, they are all pretty similar. I think it may still drop a…

While I agree that the Bee should never have been banned, the answer to this problem is less censorship, not more. It sounds like you are calling for people who have different ideo…

I think the key point in this article is this: > I think it all stems from Apple’s desire to simplify things for themselves This is the only logical explanation for a lot of Apple’…

I don’t think there is much doubt that traditional media companies put profits over reporting and facts. It is difficult to critique war when defense contractors buy up much of you…

While they frame the post as if this is a positive and something they want to do, reading between the lines, it sounds to me like something has them rattled. They mentioned regulat…

I think it is quite possible that humans attempting to “fix” nature is what will ultimately lead to the extinction of the human race. It is pretty fitting too since we are the ones…
