Sperm racing is all the rage among the tech bros. Why am I not surprised? | Arwa Mahdawi
It started as a gag, but Eric Zhu’s sperm races are doing good work in putting male fertility under the microscope – literally, writes Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi

Not sure if this has been posted. Absolutely mad but probably the future.

As far as I'm concerned - the robots haven't passed their driving test yet, and therefore aren't allowed to be in control of the vehicle.
As for the above - the ticket surely goes to Waymo

Bring back "Tomorrows World" (BBC TV programme probably too old for most of you, showcasing innovations for the future)
This is a positive view towards the future.

I still install square home launcher on all my android phones which gives me a customisable Windows phone style homescreen, which was way more interesting than the boring android and IOS icon filled homescreens.
Couple it with KWGT for some customisable widgets and it becomes super useful as well.

BBC News - Scientists grow mini human brains to power computers
www.bbc.com
If this develops further, I could see it raising a whole body of philosophical and ethical questions, particularly if the aimed bio- ai brain replicates sentence.

I find the windows tile system incredibly annoying. But to each his own.
I think it depends on the end goal, if they are kept to small processing units then they could possibly revolutionise personal computing and lifestyle.BBC News - Scientists grow mini human brains to power computers

It only works as long as the bio elements remain fully controlled.
But as I expect, the larger the units get the more possibilities of sentience grows potentially being dangerous in the long run ala skynet style.
I what way out of interest? It really didn't work on a desktop computer with a mouse and keyboard, was OK, but not great on a touchscreen tablet, but was superb on a phone imo.
Provided a great blend of personalisation (scrolling photos, layout customization), information (status badges, live data), and accessibility (links to frequently used apps) - all right on the homescreen.
It was always a little locked down on the native windows phones, so combining it with the openness of android is perfect for me.
I just look at most android phones and IOS, and think they're all samey and boring (basically a grid of relatively dumb icons on a static image).
As you said though, to each their own. The openness and customization options is one of the big reasons I much prefer android over Apple, and hope Android don't continue down their recent route of limiting that. Being able to switch launchers and tweak so much is important to me.
God I wish tech bubbles weren't so easy to spot yet no one actually believes it when people say they are.

A tangled web of deals stokes AI bubble fears in Silicon Valley
Some are worried that the rapid rise in the value of AI tech companies may be a bubble waiting to burst.

The hardware companies should be protected and thrive. The AI companies not so much.God I wish tech bubbles weren't so easy to spot yet no one actually believes it when people say they are.

I read an article the other day about almost nobody has seen a ROI on AI technologies yet.
Also, I can't help but wonder how much Deepseek has put a hole in these projections.
Personally, I have.not yet found any real world use for me for AI beyond creating a convincing eBay description.
Most individuals seem to see chatgpt has a alternative to google.
Research is showing a rough 10% on labour for coding activities. Stuff Id have used stack overflow for or doing boilerplate for simple routines.
The 40% thats still being bandied about is laughable.

We're having to sit through pointless AI courses in work. It bears no relevance to what I do.
Made more annoying by the person giving the course just reading the presentation off of the screen as you see it.
"Oh it can summarise your emails" great, I can do that. They're 99% pointless bullshit.
Stack overflow has been a major debugging and coding resource for me also.
First port of call when I'm stuck.
To me any auto generated code, especially in the SQL space, seems extraordinarily verbose.
Always been the case with auto generated code for 20ish years.
