Its the end of the yearI want good newsWhat good shit has happened in science, healthcare, technology, math, whatever would make sense to highlight here this year
There is a good news channel on youtube. Ot's mostly about science
>>16880596But that channel's probably run by faggotsI want 4chan's highlights
>>16866195Actual details require interaction, it is irrelevant what anyone believes.
>>16880591I think people are so obsessed with money and taking take of their own lives that no one has much time for science...or maybe I'm projecting.
>>16880642That doesn't sound like good news
>>16880656yeah, well, if I can add an interesting news piece (though no idea how mugh of this actually applies to humans) is that scientists say lithium orotate (which is apparently sold as OTC drug) might help prevent alzheimer's disease:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09335-x
>>16880591Good News AlertAl Fix Every ThingYou Are Welcome
>>16880591A lot of good shit in Generative AI >New and improved Generative AI models. Much of the well known models have become Multimodal and AI is now allowing for amazing images, audio, sound, coding, and to some extent even video games>AI is rapidly becoming more cheaper efficient and smarter. In fact it's improving so much a lot of industries are letting AI do much of the work than just simply a tool. >AI has been a godsent for medicine. It has diagnosed two new strains of multiple sclerosis, has made cancer detection much easier, and is allowing for more precise surgery>Robotics has seen major advancements and robots are now more mobile and intelligent. Soon robots like Neo will hit shelves. Though it's still very early and needs a lot of training to become completely autonomous.>The industry for AI has exceeded 1 Trillion dollars this year>Most importantly Trump launched Executive Order 14179 at the start of his administration, in case you don't know what this is, it basically removes all guardrails for AI Regulation. If there is one thing history will remember him for, it is this.2025 has been amazing, but I'm more excited for what 2026 has for Generative AI
>>16880591Solar power is becoming increasingly cheaper and battery production is also becoming cheaper and less reliant on rare minerals.
>>16880661>MIGHTAlways mightBet it barely does anything like every other dementia thing>>16880789Medicine part's cool I guess>>16880793When's my car gonna run on solar power?
>>16880598Surprise! 4chan is mostly all faggots!
>>16880591There have been some really good progress in medicine this year. Especially regarding Huntington, Alzheimer and different kinds of cancer.
>>16880789AI is not becoming smarter. It isn't intelligent at all.
>>16881452Good luck beating it on an intelligence test.
>>16882365>muh teststhe same tests it has been trained to beat? it can't even fucking count letters in a word or sum 2 numbers.
>>16882607You need to update your rhetoric since AI can add and count letters in a sentence as easily as it can draw hands now.
>>16880789Creative AI when?
>>16880789The AI industry is a scam anyway
>>16883072oh yeah, it can. it uses external tools for that, though.can you beat a calculator? if not, does that mean the calculator is smarter than you, or even intelligent?
>>16880591>Its the end of the yearThis happens.>I want good news We splice a new year onto the end of the old one. Ypu have 364 more days, give or take.Peace.
From memory:- AI from static search engine become agentic.- More cool humanoid robot prototypes.- Successful Starship reentry. - Chinese thorium reactor.
A little bit personal. I got on a tour to a nuclear plant, was pretty memorable experience.
Guys, come here to practice gratefulness and concentrate on positive thoughts!
>>16880793What about wind? I remember /sci/ having some threads about new windmill designs some dutch guys made that use vertical axis and operate at the ground level to capture surface perturbances that make it able to produce enough reliably enough most of the time (even when not noticeably windy) for use in residential power, but I can't even find the article and don't know if anything ever came of it.
>>16883257The calculator is on my smart phone, of course it is smart.
>>16880789current "AI" isn't AI. it's a very clever search engine hiding behind a chatbot.
>>16880789>AI is rapidly becoming more cheaper efficient and smarter.there is smart, and wisdom.smart is figuring out how to strap rockets to a tricycle to jump over a building.wisdom is making it, and get some idiot to actually try it. or better yet not doing it at all.my experience with AI is that it is like a high school science teacher. it wants to help you and will encourage you to do anything but won't tell you anything that would get it fired. it also is often working with complete bullshit from some bullshit corner of the internet.like the time it told someone the best way to keep cheese from sliding off a pizza was to glue it on, or how it would freak out if you asked it to show you a seahorse emoji.
>>16887387Search engines are also intelligent or you wouldn't be constantly going to them to fill in your gaps in knowledge and awareness of your world.
>>16887387>current "AI" isn't AII don't care lol, it does the whole spectrum of jobs for me, and YOU DON'T. For example you'll never learn 20 languages and translate a paper for me formatting the output into correct JSON file. So fuck off AGI messiah
>>16880796>When's my car gonna run on solar power?? It could have for years. I have a 2018 Nissan Leaf that has been 99% powered by solar. Only charged off the grid a few times on road trips.
>>16887888>For example you'll never learn 20 languages and translate a paper for me formatting the output into correct JSON file.Because you'll never ask nicely, you selfish brute.
>>16880591Hopefully they can put those new silicon-carbon batteries in earbuds and ramp up the bass. I've got a lot of Techno/Tech House to listen to at work.
