Elon Musk said Starlink’s direct-to-cellular service would provide free emergency services at SpaceX seeks FCC approval for the technology.

We’ve reached a new milestone in the uncanny valley, folks: AIs are now Rickrolling humans.

In a now-viral post on X-formerly-Twitter, Flo Crivello, the CEO of the AI assistant firm Lindy, explained how this bizarre memetic situation featuring Rick Astley’s 1987 hit “Never Gonna Give You Up” came to pass.

Known as “Lindys,” the company’s AI assistants are intended to help customers with various tasks. Part of a Lindy’s job is to teach clients how to use the platform, and it was during this task that the AI helper provided a link to a video tutorial that wasn’t supposed to exist.

Physicists Successfully Demonstrate Quantum Energy Teleportation in Lab Experiments

TL;DR

Bob finds himself in need of energy — he wants to charge that fanciful quantum battery — but all he has access to is empty space. Fortunately, his friend Alice has a fully equipped physics lab in a far-off location. Alice measures the field in her lab, injecting energy into it there and learning about its fluctuations. This experiment bumps the overall field out of the ground state, but as far as Bob can tell, his vacuum remains in the minimum-energy state, randomly fluctuating. But then Alice texts Bob her findings about the vacuum around her location, essentially telling Bob when to plug in his battery. After Bob reads her message, he can use the newfound knowledge to prepare an experiment that extracts energy from the vacuum — up to the amount injected by Alice.

Scraps of DNA discarded by our neurons’ power units are being absorbed into our nuclear genome far more frequently than assumed, potentially putting our brains at greater risk of developing life-threatening conditions.

An investigation by a team of researchers led by Columbia University in the US has found individuals with higher numbers of nuclear mitochondrial insertions – or NUMTs (pronounced new-mites) – in their brain cells are more likely to die earlier than those with fewer DNA transfers.
