Read Žižek's 'Trouble in Paradise' (2014), and unfortunately, over a decade later, there's still trouble in paradise. #Zizek #SlavojZizek #philosophy #TroubleInParadise

Maybe this was done so that he could get a Nature publication 🤷🏽 But on a serious note: "[this] case reveals a fundamental weakness: these tools were not developed with academic standards of reliability and accountability in mind." 🧪 www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

To explore the future, it's always worth contemplating what it will look like practically. This BBC article is a great example. I like how experts think digital twins will be used to explore how "different medications or lifestyle changes affect your unique biology". 🧪 www.bbc.com/news/article...
