Republicans are leaning towards "strong leader" over democracy, basically being prepped for dictatorship.

The democracy to dictatorship pipeline is very real. Democracies breaking down and become dictatorship is all too common.

Hotel staffed entirely by robots opens next year

A 44-room “full scenario robot-serviced” hotel is being build on the West Artificial Island of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link in China. A limited trial is supposed to start late this year, with full public opening coming in 2027.

Robots will handle reception, check-in, luggage, deliveries, room service, cleaning, food service, guest support, security and even guest interaction and companionship.

Pudu Robotics and Shenzhen Culture & Tourism Industry Development have officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly develop the world's first full-scenario robot-serviced hotel.

To showcase the vision behind the project, Pudu Robotics transformed the signing ceremony into a live demonstration of future hotel operations, presenting a comprehensive portfolio of robotic solutions operating together in a hospitality setting.

The PUDU T300 demonstrated heavy-duty luggage transportation and autonomous elevator interaction, highlighting its 300-kilogram payload capability. Meanwhile, the PUDU CC1 Pro and PUDU MT1 cleaning robots performed real-time cleaning operations throughout the venue, demonstrating AI-native waste detection and autonomous floor maintenance. BellaBot Pro served freshly brewed coffee to guests while interacting through voice and lighting effects, while KettyBot Pro continuously delivered refreshments and snacks throughout the event while displaying event information on its advertising screen.
 
The showcase concluded with interactive performances from PUDU D5, offering attendees a glimpse of how robotics can create engaging and memorable guest experiences beyond operational efficiency.

Gorbachev was shocked that letting Eastern European countries go led to them turning their back on Russia and communism

It's a good summary of the history that young socialists are mostly ignorant of.

https://youtu.be/FdkpWrlR5zg?is=VpnNh7-U2uAiZ5A9

This idea that Gorbachev didn't even imagine that these countries hated them that Russia invaded, occupied for decades and never left, raped, stole from, and forced a non performing economic system on.

Surprise!

Those who think we need UBI because of encroaching automation are generally ignorant of the Lump of Labor Fallacy

In economics, the lump of labour fallacy is the misconception that there is a finite amount of work—a lump of labour—to be done within an economy.[1][2][3] It is also known as the lump of jobs fallacy, fallacy of labour scarcity, fixed pie fallacy, and the zero-sum fallacy—due to its ties to zero-sum games. The term "fixed pie fallacy" is also used more generally to refer to the idea that there is a fixed amount of wealth in the world. This and other zero-sum fallacies can be caused by zero-sum bias.[4]

Don't expect privacy from others, TAKE IT -- Face covering masks is one way to achieve this. Not recommended for in-person banking...

This was the creed of some radical privacy activists I met at a libertarian conference in San Diego back in 2012. I think it has some merit.

​

They arrived from Germany with faces completely covered, fake names on badges, wearing sunglasses, hats, and fake beards. I attended the lecture by one of them.

​

Changed my perspective on privacy. Don't expect people not to look in your window, just put up some blinds.

Magnetoelectric microrobots for spinal cord injury regeneration

Spinal cord injury remains difficult to treat because of the intrinsically limited regenerative capacity of neurons. Although neural progenitor cell (NPC) therapies are promising, inadequate graft survival, uncontrolled differentiation and weak functional integration continue to restrict outcomes. Here we report biohybrid microrobots called NPCbots, fabricated by integrating human-induced pluripotent-stem-cell-derived NPCs with magnetoelectric nanoparticles, enabling wireless magnetic navigation and non-invasive neuronal stimulation. A lab-on-a-chip platform allows scalable fabrication and maintains cell viability and differentiation capacity. In a zebrafish spinal cord injury model, alternating magnetic field stimulation of NPCbots induced rapid in vivo neuronal and astrocytic differentiation, enhanced graft integration at the lesion site, and near-complete recovery of swimming and exploratory behaviours within 3 days. In a non-regenerating murine model of complete spinal cord transection, NPCbots were well tolerated for at least 28 days, localized effectively to the injury site, promoted neural differentiation and resulted in substantial improvements in motor function within 4 weeks. These results demonstrate that magnetically guided NPCbots combined with non-invasive magnetoelectric stimulation promote neural repair and functional recovery in preclinical spinal cord injury models.

Scientists just cured severed spinal cords (in fish) with a novel technique.

Scientists have developed biohybrid microrobots called NPCbots by combining neural progenitor stem cells with magnetoelectric nanoparticles to promote spinal cord repair.

When injected into zebrafish and mice, these NPCbots can be guided and stimulated by magnetic fields to enhance nerve regeneration without implanted electrodes.

Long ago I recall reading about how newts and others are able to regrow entire limbs while we cannot and it can down to electrical signaling and potential and how growing flesh reacts to that.

So it's very interesting to me that that's invited in how this technique works.

This is absolutely legitimate hope that people currently paralyzed will walk soon!

ChatGPT fixed my 9 year chronic pain

Before I start, this is not medical advice and if you are experiencing pain, then seek medical help first.

I’ve had chronic pain in my neck, shoulders & upper back for 9 years. I’ve dealt with excruciating headaches and severe muscle tension & discomfort for almost a decade. I tried everything. Physiotherapy, chiropractor, massage, dry needling, acupuncture, cupping, the list goes on. Nothing worked. I got desperate. I asked ChatGPT…

ChatGPT diagnosed the root cause of my issues by just asking a few critical questions that no doctor or “professional” ever asked. It then educated me on the entire subject so I developed an understanding of the actual issues, recovery & the road ahead. It then built me a 3 tier programme focusing on stretching, mobility & strength training. It diagnosed issues in my sleep by looking at pictures of my bed, pillow etc.

I followed everything ChatGPT told me to do. I followed the programme strictly. 4 months later, I am no longer in pain or discomfort. I still have a long way to go but I feel 75% better and full of life now. I am in absolute shock. I cannot believe it. It’s like I’ve been given my life back. I had no quality of life at all. ChatGPT gave me my life back.

EDIT: A lot of you are asking me questions about my diagnosis so I am dropping more information below.

- Doctors wrongly diagnosed my headaches as cluster headaches & suboccipital headaches. Therefore the plans & advice I was being given by medical professionals were not helping me because they had the wrong diagnosis.
- ChatGPT figured out that I actually suffer from cervicogenic headaches caused by my cervical spine (in my neck) being constantly on fire because of bad posture.
- Bad posture was caused by a series of muscle imbalances; weak upper back muscles caused a forward leaning posture. Neck & trap muscles began compensating for my weak back which caused them to become very tight & inflamed. This also caused me to develop a very tight chest which causes rounded shoulders. I also had an APT (anterior pelvic tilt) which caused tight hip flexors & tight hamstrings which contributed to my forward leaning posture.
- Treatment was strength training for my upper back muscles focusing on pull exercises. Strength training for my abs/core & glutes to fix my APT. Stretches for my neck, chest & hips.

Do medical professionals like physio not do this? Of course they do. The issue in my case was, constant incorrect diagnosis was creating incorrect plans for my needs. The exercises & stretches the physio recommended for me were not helpful at all because they were not targeting the key areas that ChatGPT pointed out. ChatGPT fully diagnosed me within 1 hour.

ask what my qualifications are
“you have eyes and two hands”
very advanced Russian training doctrine

sent to defend fuel storage facility
commander points at sky
“shoot drone”
look up
tiny Ukrainian drone buzzing around like angry toaster with destiny
look down
gigantic Russian fuel tank
round, white, flammable, full of government lies

commander hands me missile
“do not miss”
think about this carefully
miss drone = bad?
hit drone = good for Russia
hit fuel tank = good for literally everyone else

remember uncle drafted
remember cousin came back as paperwork
remember rent in Moscow
remember Putin on TV say everything is according to plan
decide I also have plan

lock on spiritually
miss drone professionally
missile flies
commander squints
“what…”

missile gently kisses fuel tank
tank lid launches into sky like Roscosmos finally achieved something
massive fireball
black smoke mushroom rises over Moscow
drone flies away completely unharmed, hits fractionation column go boom
target successfully intercepted by strategic fuel reserves
absolute cinema

everyone around me groaning
commander screaming
some guy drops cigarette from mouth in slow motion
I maintain perfect sad Russian face
inside I am doing little NAFO dance

write official report:
“enemy drone performed sudden maneuver by hiding behind strategic fuel reserve”

command accepts explanation
medal pending
fuel not pending

later check phone
see meme already online
“war is continuation of politics by other memes”
"zelensky cooking"
"NAFO flying fuel tank patch"

smile for first time in months
delete browser history
whisper very quietly
"special fuel operation complete"

Putin: What are electrolytes. Do you even know?

Cabinet Member: It’s what they use to make Diesel.

Putin: But why do they use them to make Diesel?

Cabinet Member: Cause planes crave electrolytes.
