🔥 How DeviantArt died: A.I. and greed turned a once-thriving community into a ghost town | Slate

"Generate a bunch of free images and accounts, have them buy and boost one another in perpetuity, inflate metrics so that the “art” gets boosted by DeviantArt and reaches real humans, then watch the money pile up from DeviantArt revenue-sharing programs. Rinse, repeat."

👽 Scientists Identify Seven Star Systems That May Be Hosting Alien Megastructures
— @futurism

"They created a list of seven strong candidates that may be hosting Dyson spheres by analyzing observations from the European Space Agency’s Gaia satellite an, as well as more infrared survey results from other ground- and space-based telescopes.

The seven candidates are all M-dwarf stars, meaning they're both smaller and dimmer than our Sun."

🦾 Utah Locals Are Getting Cheap 10 Gbps Fiber Thanks To Local Governments

"Tired of being underserved and overbilled by shitty regional broadband monopolies, back in 2002 a coalition of local Utah governments formed UTOPIA — (the Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency). The inter-local agency collaborative venture then set about building an “open access” fiber network that allows any ISP to then come and compete on the shared network."

🧠 Exclusive: Musk's Neuralink has faced issues with its tiny wires for years, sources say
— @Reuters

"The company knew from animal testing it had conducted ahead of its U.S. approval last year that the wires might retract, removing with them the sensitive electrodes that decode brain signals, three of the sources said. Neuralink deemed the risk low enough for a redesign not to be merited, the sources added."

I'm trying very hard to avoid getting sucked into the AI fad. It reminds me a lot of Crypto and Reactjs irrational exuberance.

Gonna wait til things calm down to resume my research.

It looks like my country will be forced to act as a giant battery for these global gibberish generators. Like it wasn't bad enough with crypto farms left and right.

👀 PowerPC 40x Processor Support To Be Dropped From The Linux Kernel
— @phoronix

"Back in 2020 was a proposal for dropping PowerPC 40x support from the Linux kernel given that the code was orphaned for a long time with no apparent users. The PowerPC 40x processors were found in thin clients, set-top boxes, and other devices during the 90's. Finally now it looks like that the PowerPC 40x removal is set to happen"
