Jogort I used to see this beast when I lived in Spain quite regularly moored off Cartagena Sailing Yacht A
Jogort DrDamn haha yeah I thought the picture looked strange, taken from itās wiki but no it doesnāt look quite as weird in real life, still a strange looking tub though
Jonbwfc So I found out today that Google Deepmind (their AI and machine learning research division) are teaching an AI to play Overcooked. This can only end in the machines killing usall, frankly,
DrDamn Jonbwfc nah, itāll end up killing itself. āI was on potatoes! Itās my fucking station! You should have been washing up!ā. No one can play overcooked without eventually coming to blows, even AI with itself.

Alex Iām almost hesitant to post this as itās so dreadful, but itās now emerging that the last sixteen years of Alzheimer research and treatment may have been derailed by a deliberate fraud. Itās just mad.
DrDamn Alex link to the Science article: https://www.science.org/content/article/potential-fabrication-research-images-threatens-key-theory-alzheimers-disease The story is potentially horrific and even contains a mini-WTF ā¦ This is from the DailyKos article: The drug was being pushed into trials by its manufacturer, Cassava Sciences, but a group of scientists who reviewed the drug makerās claims about Simufilam believed that it was exaggerating the potential. So they did what any reasonable person would do: They purchased short sell positions in Cassava Sciences stock, filed a letter with the FDA calling for a review before allowing the drug to go to trial, and hired an investigator to provide some support for this position. Something is horribly wrong here ā¦ oooh, opportunity for us to profit!
Alex Haha well, I actually spend my days building software systems used in short selling, so I canāt get too high and mighty about it. In fact, sounds totally reasonable to me, definitely not amoral in any way. š
DrDamn Alex itās more the idea that they discover something which will cause the drop, then purchased short sell positions to benefit from it before they themselves set it in motion.
