Is this why the orcas are mad, because we're noisy neighbors?

This guy is bringing it. Every tweet cuts deep, every image is arcane, every opinion is fire. Twitter is winning today. And if the rocks float... We are all winning.

These tracks are actually very human, the AI is not composing the song, it is only spoofing the voice of the singer. The creativity is coming from a human artist, while the voice is 'stolen'. So the music industry has to decide what they really own, the art or the artist.

Room temperature superconductivity has been the holy grail of experimental physics for exactly 111 yrs since H. Kammerling Ones discovered Mercury cooled to 4.2K could hold an electric current for... ever. I want to believe. Let this be true. I want to live in the age of heroes.

AI makes errors that no human, not even a child, would make. Yet it effortlessly nails details that takes 10,000 hours for an artist to master. Truly an alien intelligence.

Massively under-reported science story because there's so much going on right now but...it turns out that we might have figured out what's causing this very scary spike. Quick thread, on how WE'VE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY GEOENGINEERING FOR DECADES...but then we stopped:
