The AI hype cycle is even better than the blockchain or metaverse hype cycles because any functionality can just be rebranded as AI. Background erase in a photo editor? AI. Procgen tools for environ art based on copious pre-made assets? AI. Reactive NPC dialogue? That's an AI. BETTER INVEST NOW

New research shows how some animals in the wild manage to sleep in risky environments. From thousands of 4-second “microsleeps” to half-brain naps midair, scientists can now reveal some unusual animal sleep habits.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

If heavy rain, flooding, the risk of landslides weren’t enough…the risk of funnel clouds, perhaps a tornado or waterspout aren’t out of the question either in the Lwr Mainland.
If a spin happens over floodwaters, is it a tornado or a waterspout? 😜
