    PC Gamer regurgitating the abstract of a random research paper makes baby jesus cry.

      Have chat GPT make it interesting.

        I don’t know why but this makes me picture some dusty old-school newsroom with that one guy in all the TV shows smoking a cigar acting kind of like an asshole, and he looks up from the rough draft and while pointing at it with the cigar half-yells “have ChatGPT take a crack at it, maybe it’ll spice things up!”

      Of course: baby Jesus hates popularization science or engineering. Baby Jesus loves your money and obedience.

        "Regurgitation without critical thought is fundamentally counter to the principles of science and engineering"

    Oh, finally a computer chip capable of running my code.

    And we’ll never hear anything about it ever again.

      Maybe we will, maybe we won’t, but at least it’s tech news for a change. 😄

      I thought the same thing about soft, bend-able screens. But that became a fairly big thing.

        What is the next big thing you’re thinking will fail? I gotta invest some pennies

      Just like with cancer vaccines, fusion and certain incurable viral vaccines

    The one advantage we have over the machines is that their chips are destructible. Can we stop this research?

      No worries. This chip we can just eat.

        We can start farming these computers to feed our ever growing population. We just need to build a simulation they can live in, so they don’t get stale.

      This is all just so when the police show up you can’t just smash your phone.

      “almost” indestructable, i bet some sort of acid or lava could do the job if not a diamond laced sanding wheel.

    This is interesting in a “how far can you launch a pumpkin using an air canon” way, not a “you only need to cool this down to -40C to make it super conduct” way. It’s a fun experiment with nearly zero practical purpose outside of some very niche edge cases. Wearable computing is probably the only realistic one at the moment for a CPU that you can stretch a little and runs incredibly slow.

      Wearable computing is a huge market if you can literally embed this into clothing.

      Massive

    Could they electroplate the material with nickle? Nickle Iron batteries are the best, but nickle needs a lot of surface area inside the battery.

    So…

    What’s your spaghetti policy here?

    That’s kinda interesting. My first thought on seeing that image, though, was ‘ramen + autism = good!’

    By stretchy do they mean slightly less brittle and thus slightly more impact resistant? Not that this is a problem we need solving. The biggest issues we need to solve in technology are batter and glass

    they should put that in clothing, there’s probably tons of medical uses for this
