History repeats itself: How long?

History repeats itself: How long?

There is a huge resistance to AI, everywhere.
It always happens like this: Fear, rejection and assimilation.

It is inevitable, but it take sometime.
What is your take on AI?

  • Resist as long as you can?
  • Fully embrace it and be an early adopter?

Well, I don't know about "earlier" anymore. Maybe who resist it is already getting behind.

Thoughts?

Banned for 3 days because of AI use.

There is a difference in a low-effort AI generate slop and some designed material that is complemented by AI. The first image is the final product, the second image shows what is NOT AI generates (Only the image that I removed was AI).

I get it that AI is sometimes getting used in a wrong way, and people are getting sick of it. But if you use AI to help improve something I see that with different eyes.

And the worst part is that the image was just a hook to call people to talk about the inevitability o AI becoming Skynet. Instead, it was a discussion on how not to violate the pure and pristine rules of the sub.

I thought subs were interested in people posting content, but it seems control and rules (which are necessary) are more important then content.

Ricardo got a point: Let's make Apex help with our operations

Ricardo makes a solid point here. Right now, Fleet Carriers feel less like the ultimate mobile command center and more like massive, glorified parking lots.

The moment you try to run Odyssey on-foot missions with a squad, the entire loop breaks down:

  • You jump the carrier to a target system.
  • Instead of deploying, everyone has to get back into their own ships, fly out to a standard station, dock, and grab the local missions there anyway.
  • It completely kills the momentum and adds unnecessary travel transitions to an already grindy flow.

Integrating Apex Interstellar taxis to fly directly to/from Fleet Carriers, alongside adding local system mission boards to the carrier concourse, would completely fix this. It transforms carriers into actual staging infrastructure—both for coordinated squad operations and solo players looking for a true regional base.

What do you guys think? Would this make you use your carrier concourse more often, or do you think Frontier has bigger priorities for Odyssey's mission loops?

Suppressed Optical Science? The 1911 Case of Dr. Walter Kilner’s "Aura-Viewing" Lenses

In 1911, London physician Dr. Walter John Kilner claimed he could see a luminous human bio-field—not through mysticism, but chemical optics.

By looking through glass screens stained with dicyanin (a rare, volatile coal-tar dye), he sensitized his vision to the near-ultraviolet spectrum. The human body appeared as a dark silhouette surrounded by distinct, glowing radiation layers. Remarkably, Kilner used these screens at St. Thomas' Hospital to diagnose internal illnesses like tumors and epilepsy before any physical symptoms manifested.

The Alternative Mystery

While mainstream science dismisses this as an optical illusion caused by eye fatigue, Kilner's consistent medical diagnoses suggest he found a real, objective physical phenomenon.

Why don't we see these lenses today?

  • Suppressed Science: Did the early 20th-century medical establishment bury this tech because validating a "bio-energy field" threatened mainstream medicine?
  • Controlled Access: True, chemically accurate dicyanin became heavily restricted, dangerous to produce, and nearly impossible for modern hobbyists to source.

Deja Vu: A simple neural delay, or are we experiencing a glitch in the simulation? 🌀

We’ve all experienced that sudden, eerie jolt—the absolute certainty that we have lived a precise moment before, down to the exact lighting, the background noise, and the words hanging in the air.

Mainstream science tells us it's just a "dual processing" micro-delay, a temporary lag between our optical pathways, or a brief misfire in the temporal lobe. But for those of us who look a bit closer at the seams of reality, that explanation feels a little too convenient.

When you experience déjà vu, it doesn’t just feel like a memory glitch. It feels like a recognition of a script already written.

  • Is it a rendering delay? Could déjà vu be the moment our consciousness catches up to a localized update or "patch" in the matrix?
  • The Hologram Theory: If reality is holographic, is a single familiar object or frequency triggering a cascade of memories from a completely different timeline or parallel life?
  • Echoes of a Reset: Why does it happen more intensely during specific periods of our lives? Are we hitting anchor points where history was adjusted?

How does déjà vu feel to you? Is it just a brain fart, or do you genuinely feel like you've stepped off the track of linear time for a split second?

WE LIVE IN A SIMULATION, SAYS ELON MUSK

In 2016, the billionaire declared that the chance we are in base reality is one in billions.

During the Code Conference in 2016, Elon Musk argued that given the rate of video game evolution (moving from Pong to 3D virtual realities), games will become indistinguishable from reality in the future.

Now, does he really believe that?

Rousey vs Carano Confirmed

Ronda's invincible beginnings were very nice.
Is she coming back or is this just a one night stand?
