Gizmodo should be retracting their writeup and slapping the writer for needless sensationalism. The supposed "refuting a well established theory in physics" isn't real - the theory in question is about stability of crystalline lattice structures. And the writeup itself is self-contradictory.

Beyond those temperatures, superheated gold is supposed to reach the so-called “entropy catastrophe”—or, in more colloquial terms, the heated gold should’ve blown up....To be fair, this superheated state lasted for a mere several trillionths of a second. Also, it blew up.

In fact one of their justifications for invading Ukraine was "denazification".

So you're a Putin-Dicksucking little bitch who's too fucking stupid to understand that Putin the Nazi Shitbag's "denazification" claims were a smokescreen. Fucking kill yourself you disgusting Putin-Dicksucking Genocidal Little Nazi Bitch.

You're still here after all these years?

Notably though if we actually run out of work to do we have a post-scarcity utopia, and that happens when people are so rich that there's basically not a single person who, given even more money, would even be able to think of something to spend it on. That's not going to happen any time soon, so we're basically dealing with a distribution problem, which requires distribution (e.g. minimum wage, set it to 1/3 national hourly GDP, the reason for this takes a while to explain) and redistribution (negative income tax, do it as a universal dividend) policies along with monetary policy to properly increase the money supply to not fall behind productivity growth.

Submission + - Writer turns down grad school acceptance due to AI misinformation (businessinsider.com)

bluefoxlucid writes: A promising young writer rejected her invitation into the University of Sidney's creative writing program on speculation that AI will make creative writers obsolete.

In late 2023, I began noticing changes in the media landscape. Publications were laying off most of their writers, and friends in the industry lost out on great gigs and started competing with AI-generated writing.

As for the book industry, I realized AI will not spend years crafting a thrilling romance novel; it will instead churn out a thousand ebooks a month. For the commercial side of the industry, that will always be enough.

The link used for an example of AI-generated writing consuming the industry discusses cover letters and resumés, and in a great fallacy of equivocation the author decides this means creative writers like Brandon Sanderson, David Webber, and herself will be replaced by ChatGPT.

Instead of AI taking her job, the AI narrative took her job, or at least convinced her to give up on her career as a writer.
