More interesting to frame it the other way around really - why would some organisms reproduce using this dangerous, complex, uncertain process called sex

EmptyRadar, in Academic journal forced to retract peer-reviewed AI-generated paper after "rat penis" pics go viral

We're in that interim period where people don't understand the technology at all but still think it's capable of anything, so even people who absolutely should know better are going to be misusing it.

Sokal affair but with more rat ballz

Reminds me of this.

Froyn, in Academic journal forced to retract peer-reviewed AI-generated paper after "rat penis" pics go viral

I enjoy reading between the lines. "Had the rat penis not gone viral, the paper would not have been retracted"

Rpmkp, in Inside the Proton, the ‘Most Complicated Thing’ Imaginable

@HeartyBeast this is a fascinating article. It’s mind blowing to think that the fundamental component making up most of the physical universe is just a chaotic probability field of chaotically moving quarks and antiquarks.

milkytoast, in Prosthetic limb device enables users to ‘sense’ temperature difference
@milkytoast@kbin.social avatar

can people with prosthetics feel stuff? are we at that point technologically? if so, how precisely? with my fleshy fingers I can tell the difference between glass and less smooth surfaces, or even a hair ir some dust, but I doubt prosthetics would be at such s point

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a bunch of cherry shrimp in a bed of Java moss?

Really balancing on that ethics knife's edge here, aren't we?

CodexArcanum, in 3D-Printed Neural Tissue Grows And Functions Like a Human Brain

Everyday we get closer to artificially grown brains replacing LLMs as the new AI hype.

Maybe home-grown human intelligence (HGHI)?

shiveyarbles, in Astronauts may be able to make cement using their own pee

Well that’s a kick. I would have thought poop would work better

wildncrazyguy, in 1st look at asteroid Bennu samples suggests space rock may even be 'a fragment of an ancient ocean world'

Any chance it could be a fragment of Theia?

Or Earth.

Pieces of Earth was do doubt also flung about.

Hyperreality, in Scientists Identify The Optimal Number of Daily Steps For Longevity, And It's Not 10,000

Causality.

Some people aren't unhealthy because they don't walk enough, they don't walk enough because they're unhealthy or have an underlying condition.

Someone in a coma ain't walking much, but that's not the main reason they're more likely to die sooner rather than later.
