But wouldn't that make it a greased hamster, throwing off the potential to standardize? We're 5 minutes into this new measurement paradigm and we've already rediscovered the imperial vs US gallon problem.
 
Yeah, headline writer is admitting he thinks hamsters are a thing that goes inside the body.
 
yeah, even richard gere is impressed this guy was able to get four of them in there, greased or not.

The dam will burst now.

Count me as a contrarian on this for now.

I think what we're going to see now is a bunch of people who don't understand what today's AI actually is (we're still not remotely close to AGI, what we have now are basically high powered sequence guessing machines that are slaves to it's scraped data set...this is why we can't build self driving cars that can make human like driving decisions but instead have chat bots that scrape the internet and become nazis unless specifically instructed not to be) and make a bunch of business decisions they don't understand because "AI is the future" and suffer horrendously for it until they're fired, the AI is unplugged and people go back to working for those businesses.

So yeah, the dam will burst and then it will stop bursting when companies realize how much of a clown fuck show they've created and billions in shareholder value is wiped out.

In the future we're all totally robot food, but I don't think we're months or years away from that. More like decades or more.
 
A lot of it is really bad. Articles barely hang together, if at all.

The dam bursting, I think, is on the business side. Bild will force their competitors’ hands, so a lot will follow suit.

Content is life for those firms though. Shit content = declining clicky = declining ad rev = sucking dick at a bus station for a whopper jr to feed yourself.

Creatives pushed out of these jobs will make coffee and start substacks, which will end up paying as much as freelance writing did.
 
A bit click baity as that happened on a 2018 Netflix documentary about flat earthers. Remember watching it...wild how stupid we as a species are on average.

Anyway, luckily they finally had the proof they needed to give up the conspiracy theory, and we haven't heard from flat earthers since.
 
Humanity may be in the throes of another breakthrough that's every bit as impactful as the invention of the transistor and the advent (and eventual vindication) of quantum computing. LK-99, as it's been named, is a new compound that researchers believe will enable the fabrication of room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductors. Initially published by a Korean team last Friday, frantic work is underway throughout the research world to validate the paper's claims. For now, two separate sources have already provided preliminary confirmations that this might actually be the real thing — Chinese researchers have even posted video proof. Strap in; this is a maglev-powered, superconducting ride.
