Are Oasis really retro? We ask why some musical influences are dismissed as nostalgia while others are celebrated as futuristic.

"For centuries the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that buried Pompeii has most regularly been dated to 24 August AD 79. But a growing collection of archaeological clues.. suggests the disaster may actually have struck months later."

Nebulae are among the most visually impressive objects to see in the cosmos, and yet they're little more than vast clouds of gas and dust. Despite their humble composition, they play important roles. So, what exactly is a nebula?

Cloud Gazing - What is a Nebula?
Nebulae are among the most visually stunning sights in our universe. A nebula is simply a cloud of gas and dust found in outer space, and their varied shapes and colors make them spectacular phenomena for night sky viewing. They also play important roles in the life cycle of stars, as both a place of birth and a place of death.

A team of Caribbean scientists has completed one of the region's most comprehensive deep-sea surveys off Trinidad and Tobago.

Discovering 25 cold seep ecosystems & hundreds of potential new species, researchers hope the data will strengthen ocean protections.

Debunking AI.

"it’s important to remember that the field of AI, since its beginning, has been rife with often misleading anthropomorphic metaphors, with terms like “thinking,” “learning,” “reasoning,” and “understanding” glibly applied to very un-human-like computer processing"

Exactly. "Sandbox" my arse. It's only the public and media's ignorance about how all things computer actually work that prevents the AI industry's mix of incompetence, Machiavellian profiteering, and techbro fanboy fantasy-think being obvious.
If you showed up at Defcon and gave talk about how your autonomous malware did something unexpected and damaged someone else's computers, the first question from the audience would be "Why are you so shit at making secure sandboxes?" It wouldn't be "How are you so awesome at making hacking tools?"

while these debates have value, they also divert attention from present issues. The AI industry's violation of intellectual property, pollution and environmental harm, non-consensual deepfakes and the spread of false information. We need to deal with current issues as well as future problems.
