Insane Clown Posse’s Shaggy 2 Dope Confronts AI Version of Himself

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Insane Clown Posse’s Joseph Utsler, better known by his stage persona Shaggy 2 Dope, has an AI clone — and apparently, he’s a fan.

Hosted on the Google-backed Character. AI service — which, as a sidebar, Futurism has investigated extensively, repeatedly finding horrible things — the ICP cofounder’s digital doppelganger sounds like a slightly robotic version of the real thing.

The effect is so uncanny that Mr. Dope himself decided to hit the AI up and bring it onto his livestreamed vlog, “The Shaggy Show.”

Earthquakes rattle Hawaii as Kilauea eruption continues

Posted by in category: futurism

While these earthquakes are not impacting Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, it has been intermittently erupting since Dec. 23.

According to the latest update from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, the intensity of these eruptions, so-called “lava fountaining,” has strengthened after weakening in the days after the initial eruption.

Dark Energy May Be an Illusion: Scientists Uncover a “Lumpy” Universe

Posted by in category: cosmology

Scientists are challenging the existence of dark energy with a new model called “timescape,” which suggests the Universe’s expansion might be influenced by its uneven structure rather than an invisible force.

This theory could resolve ongoing cosmological debates, with upcoming satellite data playing a key role in confirming its validity.

Bird flu outbreak grows in Michigan with three more sites exposed to virus

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

(FOX 2) — Three more cases of bird flu have been detected in Michigan after officials confirmed the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza across two counties.

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is monitoring outbreaks at two commercial poultry facilities in Ottawa County as well as an outbreak at a backyard flock in Jackson County.

This is the first case of HPAI in Jackson since the outbreak was first reported in Michigan in 2022.

Bedbugs Are Stronger Than Ever and Scientists Just Found Out Why

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, genetics

Link :


Ever since then, researchers have marveled at the bedbug’s resilience. No matter what kind of chemical insecticide we throw at it, they manage to survive. This is due in large part to its development of insecticide resistance. Recent research conducted by Hidemasa Bono at Hiroshima University found that a series of genetic mutations explain the bedbug’s resistance to insecticides.

To figure that out, Bono and his team took a peek at the genome of an insecticide-resistant bedbug. They then compared it to bedbug samples collected in 2010 from a hotel in Hiroshima, along with wild bedbugs dating back to the 1950s. They used a technique called long-read sequencing to create nearly free and nearly error-free genomic maps to compare the various bedbugs across time. This allowed them to see several different mutations across the three types of bedbugs.
