Mindblowing, some of that is high quality CGI that would take AGES to do by yourself in Blender or other tools. I did say before maybe in 20 years time we'd be able to remake Game Of Thrones season 8 (and parts of 7) - maybe that will happen much much sooner than I thought possible

Related, and definitely related to the "are we all fucked?" as concerns science, a paper made it through "peer review" (at a family of journals whose reputation has been in freefall for a while, but still) whose figures had been entirely generated with Midjourney, and were absolute nonsense: biologically nonsense, and also including uncorrected nonsense hallucinated terminology.

This kind of nonsense will fast be coming to an end. The spanners that thought up this crap will have the rest of their lives to be reminded of their descent into stupidity.

Not that they'll be thinking it's a descent into stupidity themselves, but I reckon, whether this particular initiative succeeds or fails, Professor Pat Dolan, Cillian Murphy, and Colum McCann will probably be kept busy enough with the rest of their lives either way

They discovered a surprising 2.4-million-year cycle where deep currents wax and wane, which in turn is linked to periods of increased solar energy and a warmer climate.

That's where they lost me, for what I would hope are obvious reasons..

Edit: Turns out none of the seven foreign aid-workers killed were Irish. Possible someone mistook the Polish passport for an Irish one.

RIP in any case.

I'll try not descend into the madness of that particular hellish quagmire other than it's beyond words at this stage and unfortunately I cannot see a proper solution to that forever conflict that doesn't involve more suffering for more innocent people.
