If the nutrients are not as available, that should point to processing for extracting proteins and such rather than eating the insects directly. Like they do with some fungi for creating meat replacements. I think lab-grown meat and protein-rich plants make more sense, but anything that can feed people with less land use is a step forward.

Someone wise said that technology wants to spread into every corner of our lives. AI is no different. I just wish we could skip all the hype and realize it's a useful tool for some things, and that's it. Just like my fridge doesn't need to have wifi.

I've been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I'm waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.

I want my applications to be like this:

"So we've published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?"

(Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)

And still it forms the central cogs in the corporate machine.

 

(I couldn't find a sub for hypotethical questions..)

We wouldn't forget this soon. And king Harald is 88 years old, so it won't be long before his son takes over. If she becomes his queen, she would be an unpopular one.

Why? They want their millitary officers to stay racist, so it's easier for them to adopt a "us and them" mindset?

In Norway we only have the red ones. Shy small things that run to climb up a tree when you approach. You're lucky to see one.

I saw the grey ones first time when I visited Oxford. Students were sitting in the grass, and a hundred squirrels just ran around in-between them. Very different creatures indeed.

Ah, I recognize their cool flag from my vexillology days. 🤓

I suggest people should just stop doing that.

An operating system should only be infrastructure to keep programs running. If I want an AI program, I'll seek it out and get it myself.

They should stop calling them GPUs. Maybe PPU (parallel processing unit) would work as a general term. But there's higher chance of someone using something like AIPU as a marketing term.
