Our brains are good at detecting spatial patterns with our eyes. They are better at detecting patterns in time with our ears. I think bringing a new dimension to the task of understanding "dark matter" has merit. It certainly inspires a new approach and way to think about it. The quotes around dark matter are because I think they are way off on what it really is.

How about banning the editors from using AI? They want more output, they expect AI to be the answer; tell the journalists to use AI however they see fit to produce the various articles the editors want. They will be directly engaged and willing to put their names on the final product(s). Editors can give direction and have final say on what is or isn't published, but they aren't supposed to be writing the articles too.

"However, this technique worked only for coiled cables, exposed at the surface, at distances of up to 5 meters from the speaker. Burying the cable under just 20 centimeters of dirt was enough to muddy the speech. And straight cables -- even exposed ones right next to the speaker -- did not record speech well."

So interesting, but sensationalized clickbaity BS of no utility. Moving on, slashhasbeen.

They want this in k-12 grades? The AI landscape is changing so fast anything we teach those kids will be obsolete by the time they enter the workforce. Sure, teach them about it as part of proper STEM education, plus language skills, music, and athletic activities, but don't waste too much time on the nuances of dealing with an LLM. In many cases the kids will know more than the teachers anyway.

Phones can be lost, stolen, and hacked. My phone has never seen a single credit card number, nor have I ever logged in to any bank with it. Letting any app have access to my money is never going to happen. I know my home pc can be hacked, but it's a linux box; I know what's going on with my home network and all the devices on it. Not so for phones. I'd say Elon can kiss my ass, but he'd have to pay me a LOT to do that. Eeeewww.
