Are we all fucked?

I suppose Are we all fucked should include the original Spanish crayfish that got shafted by the reds

I can think of a few invasive species I would'nt mind being removed from the Irish ecosystem to restore balance, and I ain't talking crayfish.

Plotting homework assignment results (horizontal axis) against exam results (vertical axis) in pupils using vs not using genAI. Interpretation: as genAI reliance during learning period increases (higher and higher homework grades), subsequent learning evaluation results start falling off a cliff. Maybe the biggest study yet, perfectly replicating many small scale assessments conducted by individual teachers and lecturers.

Extract:

AI's assault on our ability to know isn't a new battle – rather, it's the latest barrage in a war that's been waged for years, as corporations grew larger and more powerful, capturing their regulators, who let them lie to us and abuse us with impunity.

So it's 2026 and any single guys bingo card for a future wife is going to list at least these two options:

1... Mustn't have penis

2... Doesn't kill kids

Plastic bottles can be turned into edible, vanilla-flavour cookies
Hundreds of millions of tonnes of plastic pollution are created each year. One option may be to turn the pollution into food, but critics voice concerns

Plastic bottles and agricultural waste can be converted into consumable cookies via genetically engineered yeast. The team members behind the initiative are currently awaiting institutional approval so they can taste the product.

Eat the fking plastic   

Imagine the food banks for the poor and homeless in 20 years  "Just handed in my bag of thrash to the nearest YEAST charity factory honey."

Do you have tourettes? Or did you ask to be allowed post again only to intentionally troll your way back to being banned again, under the impulse of some deeper psychological and/or emotional imbalance? Genuine question. I once knew a lad on another forum who requested the administrator ban him cos he couldn't otherwise stop himself from trolling.
