This looks really cool, looking forward to the spider version

Maybe not exactly big news, but ever since the internet became a thing, information started to flow a lot faster and farther than before. You may have a point, and this article is more an opinion than anything but I don’t think it’s unreasonable. Here’s why:

Scientists and academics are used to think and develop concepts and ideas for decades. As individuals, each usually has a very firm stance on one particular issue, but as a collective, the sciences will keep several contradictory hypothesis in consideration for a long time until there is enough evidence to cement a theory. And even then, there’s always some whacky theory floating around.

The general public on the other hand, isn’t used to this kind of nuance. Most pre internet people see " scientific publication = truthful fact " as this is more or less what they grew up with. They didn’t stay in school long enough to see their textbooks get updated, had no easy access to new research contradicting the mainstream.

Today there is an overabundance of information floating around, especially online, and tons of articles based off on scientific papers which most people take for gospel without any understanding of how the scientific body of knowledge grows over time. Add to that the noise caused by pseudoexperts and conspiracy theorists and… would you like a cup of Ivermectin?

Bit draconian hey. I admit the whole thing was stupid but considering he didn’t hurt anyone with this toy or show intention to do so a fine alone would have been more than enough. 4 months prison? Wtf

I would love to hear what’s going on from the perspective of centrist living in France right now (as opposed to what the media says).

I see, thanks for sharing!

I don’t understand why someone would downvote you or why this opinion would cause an impact of any kind? People say all sorts of crazy things online. Was she particularly rude, trollish or baitey?

I’m missing out on this particular bit of Lemmy Lore, did something happen?

“And YOU get a FREE EV! And YOU get and EV! And YOU! EVERYBODY GETS AN EV!!!”

What’s Bild reputation like? First time I hear about it

I can’t say I know a lot about cloning. But isn’t it already an established thing? Aren’t people cloning their favourite pets and polo horses already? What’s the main difference with this older method, why bother with it?

I had to double take to make sure it wasn’t Jokes and Humor but actually World News

Pardon my ignorance but I’m OOTL- why is substack a bad thing? ( I didn’t know of its existence before this post)

Lost lemmings…

Amigo te confundiste de comunidad, esto no es noticia

It’s only been one year. I’d like to see how this topic aged in 2026. AI is developing at an unprecedented speed for a socioeconomic phenomenon of its calibre.

Edit: And yes we might need some kind of government support. What scares me is, where do you get the money to support such a large population?

Couldn’t agree more, you make a point with the timeline. It’s changing too fast. And it’s not only ChatGPT but also image generation tools such as Midjourney. There are AI for 3D models too now, which I believe will be of industry standard quality in a year or two.

AI is a phenomenon of a similar weight as the Industrial Revolution, but its much faster development means a lot of people can’t keep up or change careers

You are right but the problem here is it’s happening all at once on several fields. It’s not just elevator operators, it’s anyone doing basic design tasks, writing, translating, voice narrating, and basic programming. And that’s a lot of jobs.

Can we all stop with war starting trend already? :(

Yes, I think the person you replied to meant exactly what you put in words- they just left it vague to accommodate for all the other factors involved not only in the Chinese case at hand, but worldwide. I don’t think they meant to say it’s not ok to not want to have kids.

Possibly to give the tourism sector enough notice. Lots of people plan their trips almost a year ahead, if there are changes like this it’s fair everyone knows beforehand

“polo obsessed nation” is a bit of a stretch. Sure it’s popular but among the very wealthy only. The average Argentine is pretty much indifferent to polo. Football (soccer) is clearly the national obsession. I’d dare say rugby and tennis have more fans than polo.

It’s a really good article though
