I used to see this beast when I lived in Spain quite regularly moored off Cartagena Sailing Yacht A
Jogort That looks like a render on a phone, does it look like a render in real life? š
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
Jogort itās got that look about it anyway, materials that look like shaders and the like.
Iāve bought part of a wind farm š
Not really a WTF but thought it was suitably surreal
Is it an NFT of a windfarm, a jar with a breath of wind? š¤£
Jogort Thatās a homeopathic wind farm surely?

So this is a WFT? Wind Farm Token?
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,
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.
Thatās just bizarre.
Well thatās not going to be an incoming lawsuit. Clever move, far right fuckwit.

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.
Alex link to the Science article:

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!
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
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.
