Büro UHFO from Singapore made this fantastic Poster for an Akira Artshow in Virtual Reality.
From craft beer to molotovs: “A Ukrainian craft beer brewery has converted its bottling facilities to a petrol bomb factory, making Molotov cocktails that can be thrown at Russian tanks.”
Scientists found “attention, working memory and conscious awareness-like capabilities in fruit flies, cognitive abilities typically only tested in mammals. The researchers were able to watch the formation, distractibility and eventual fading of a memory trace in their tiny brains.”
AI-assisted criminal careers going well: “Tips from a GPT-3-based model on how to steal from a restaurant and do other nefarious things.” I like the option of the GPT3-assisted Louvre-heist, where your criminal engaging AI simply suggests it might be easier to go to the souvenir-shop.
TIL there is a phenomenon called pupillary contagion, which is when you see someones pupils change size, your eyes will synch and do the same. This is a form of brain synchrony and you also do it with cats and dogs, which is pretty cool. Even cooler: They trained a bunch of pigeons to synch their brains and they became more cooperative. Other studies found that brain synchrony is independent from stimuli, which means that you don’t need to see or hear the same things to synch brains, all you need is a common goal to cooperate. What I’m saying is that the internet is the biggest brain synch machine in history of humankind and we ain't seen nothing yet.
Overly descriptive color palettes. I still prefer my links in premeditative shocking pink and/or encircled sandy yellow, don’t tell me otherwise!
“I built mind-controlled cat ears.”
“What's the one thing you like doing that isn't considered ‘punk’?” Besides unironically loving cheesy 80s-songs which, yes, includes Bon Jovis “I’ll be there for you” and a lot of Phil Collins, I really dig warm, cuddly slippers.
When Hulk/Bruce Banner snipped his Finger in “Avengers: Endgame”, half of humanity just popped into existence from the realms of the dead, exactly the place they were before, when Thanos killed them. Now, half of humanity is a LOT of people and some of them were shitting on a toilet the moment they died. And when they reappear, they reappear on that toilet — and it might be occupied. You’d surely be able to calculate the number of awkward toilet encounters caused by the Hulk/Banner-Snip. And because the internet is what it is, someone did exactly this. Here’s the conclusion from the paper:
Using conservative estimates for average toilet use and worldwide toilet availability, it is calculated that roughly 50 000 toilets have a surprise second visitor. For the most favourable case of toilet use at the time of the reappearing occupants, it is calculated that the probability that at least one toilet ends up with two occupants is 1 − 10^−30892. The difference between the calculated probability and unity is so small that it can be considered a practical certainty that, while the world was saved, at least one humble bathroom fixture is the scene for interrupted business. It is … inevitable.
