Ok, I'll tell my family that they should lay off the drugs and are just seeing things.
What, specifically, is your family seeing? So far there are some troops near the Polish border, and a possible helicopter incursion. There's not a lot that civilions could see unless they lived right on the border.
It's not a possible. And yes there are people living 'right on the border'.

There have been some incidents on the Polish border recently that put the whole thing on a knife edge.
No, that's just noise generated by the Russians and Belarus and then picked up by the press to make it sound dramatic. This is par for the course for Russian disinfo.
The adaptability of cancer makes me think it's in fact a parasitic distributed lifeform, similar to fungus, that turns cells into zombies.

First of all, the SO2 goes into the stratosphere , not the atmosphere. We know a lot about it because volcanoes do this occasionally. Temperatures cool down for about 2 years, which is how long it takes for the S02 to break down.
> First of all, the SO2 goes into the stratosphere, not the atmosphere. Considering that the stratosphere is part of the atmosphere, that's both pedantic and incorrect. > We know a lot about it because volcanoes do this occasionally. Temperatures cool down for about 2 years, which is how long it takes for the S02 to break down. Volcano's don't pump pure SO2. Yes, the science may be entirely valid, and it's not for me…

Cancer is your cells though, that's the problem.

Maybe? Really hard to say. We haven’t had any major advancements in planning, none of the current advances have done anything with memory (retrieval augmentation is a not very good hack and fine tuning doesn’t qualify for AGI), perception is getter better but still has a ways to go, we dont have any foundational multi-modal models that can extend to arbitrary new modalities like learning arbitrary new sensors, etc et…
Why is retivele a hack?

Self consciousness. Human-level of reasoning. Feelings, etc. We are NOT close to AGI. * Fancy Markov chain (LLM) is not AGI. * Stable diffusion style of image generation is NOT AGI. * Fancy computer vision is NOT AGI. Honestly, I don't think we are any closer to AGI. What we are seeing is the peak of "fancy tricks" for computer generated artifacts.
Look carefully at these goals and tell me if these are materially falsifiable. Can you imagine a test that determines whether or not a system has self consciousness? If such a test exists we could interrogate if a system of some design might pass it, but if such a test does not exist and we cannot even imagine it then you’re talking about something that is unfalsifiable - which is another way of saying “effectively f…
Plenty has been written about the requirements for decades now. That hasn’t changed.

Am i the only one wondering what this finding really means in practice when we read every other weak a similiar science article that claims to be a breakthrough in cancer treatment?
