Electric Dreeps
Recently, feedback is pleased to be bullied with the maximum invitation to the conference we have received. Many conference invitations from organizers who work on the trick we have made something like science journalism, and usually a small prose but not one, about the future event in Shaoxing, China.
Here is the opening line: Love and sex with robots The conference has been preparing for the most exciting chapters: the sign of the 12th edition of international 12th International for June 2026. “
Before you begin to imagine a type of cybernetic sodom and Gomorrah, remember: This is an academic conference, yet one with TED talk level. We are told to “prepare for a stunning conjunction with students’ views, famous researchers, and revolutionary minds that change humanitage by cutting robotics and AI”. In addition, “attendees experience revelations, groundbreaking demonstrations that are boldly exploring the future of love, association, and technology”.
Everywhere, the invitation describes the conference as an “electrifying event”: We are counting unconventionally. Then again, it encourages “Practical demonstration shows functional robotic technology, software, or new conceptual concepts“, So who knows?
The conference website study, Feedback is known to have a “Supreme Council” “guiding the perspective and conference direction”. All five of these members are men: do that you want. “Supreme Leader” (we promised that we don’t do it) a David Levy, long ago New Scientist Readers can remember as the author of 2007 book Love and sex with robots. our Repaser says The “enthusiasm of the world for the worldly aspects of robotics brings a constant bad to do his arguments seriously”.
However, conference organizers are clearly aware of what they share. The invitation announced that “This conference is the whole world to say”, and here’s feedback, talking about it.
Defense in druise
In a new New ScientistSponsor David Hambling asks: “Is there a country to protect against an attack on Ukraine-style-spuggling?” (21 June, p 8). The hambling is mentioned in building physical obstacles such as nets or “hardened plane habitats”, using electronic jamming to disrupt the drones, and in the last shooting it is very small.
Only where is all, but the reader Robert Bull focuses that the answer is in the first story expert: security and counterterrorism professional Robert Bunerker.

The US Sophie Bushwick’s News Editor sends feedback to a real press release: “Cheese may give you nightmares, found by scientists“Please, we think, for the love of all milk, don’t be true. We have a little happiness.
Press Release carrying us in a study of Fronties of Psychologytitled “Rarebit Fiend’s many dreams: food sensitivity and dietary sleep and dream“If you are confused with the Rarebit reference, you may not have enough Welsh: Rarebit, the authors explains, is” a wonderful melting cheese toast “.
The authors want if some foods affect your sleep, as people suggest. They surveyed 1082 people online and learned that part of the fifth believes that some foods have improved or worsening their sleep, and a small particle believed they affected dreams. At this point, feedback is slowly uncontrollable, because all of it shows so some people believe that some foods affect sleep, which, we don’t even know it.
However, the paper is deeper – or perhaps in the deep end. Researchers have found a strong involvement between reports that have severe dreams and reports of disabling lactose because of the painful symptoms they have experienced after eating cheese.
At this point, feedback facepalmed is very difficult we left a mark. Lactose is, of course, the sugar found in milkthat, so far, it can only be Children dug. In the past few millennia, some populations improved the ability to Digging lactose As adults: those without this attitude is unstoppable in Lactosel, and drinking milk makes them bad.
The matter is, most cheeses are under lactose. The cheese-making process removes lactose, which is probably why the first pastoralist groups invent them: Cheese is a manner of guzzar tumultations without the subsequent sadness. Therefore it may not be a little cheese before bed causes an uncontrollable person to be unstoppable.
What a journey we’ve been through. You think it’s just a funny story about cheese, but actually launch a new fixed thing: how we get ready to die. You are warned.
