This is the most cringing thing I have ever seen. Researchers built a human-centaur robot to carry heavy loads and published it in the International Journal of Robotics Research. Brilliant or completely unnecessary? I still can’t decide. A wheeled backpack exists, though. Just saying.
Reddit, as always, had thoughts.
I feel like a shopping cart would almost always be a better solution. The next time I’m carrying a light sacrifice to a dormant volcano that has frequent charging stations in good weather this might be handy.
Have you guys heard of the rickshaw?
Honestly? No notes.
I can watch ONE PIECE Season 2 now as it is just released now. Excited.
In the meanwhile, there is something cool…it is built with Lego. Saw on Facebook. Just wow!!!

Currently Watching: The Bluff. I hope it is good.
I just finished watching the Melania documentary to see what the fuss was about for this $40 million project.
My verdict: it's a total waste of time. It’s dull and boring, with absolutely nothing worthy about it. Critics agree, with The Guardian noting the film
Whether you call it “narratively dead” or just an expensive infomercial, it offers zero insight. Skip it.
I happen to live in a rural town. If you want to understand rural America, check out the good article: “6 myths about rural America”. It challenges stereotypes that drive public policy. A key quote emphasizes:
“Getting these facts right matters because public debates, policies and resources… often rely on these assumptions, and misunderstandings can leave real needs neglected.”
So, is AI a mental health miracle or a total minefield? Honestly, it’s both.
A 2025 study in Psychology Today found AI can cut depression symptoms by 51%—huge for anyone stuck on a six-month waitlist.
But Stanford HAI warns that bots often miss the “human messiness.” In one scary test, a bot actually gave specific info on a bridge when a user hinted at a crisis.
“AI can amplify the best of human knowledge, but it can also codify our worst biases.” — Stanford HAI
The takeaway? Great for a midnight vent or basic coping tools, but it’s not a human replacement yet.
What is your thoughts?
Finished watching Jekyll and Hyde S1. I wish they would do seasons 2. 😕 I enjoyed the TV show. Hopefully, Netflix would pick it up and resume S2?
ITV’s 2015 Jekyll and Hyde was axed after one season due to
- its 6:30 PM slot.
- Gritty violence sparked 800+ Ofcom complaints, ruling it unfit for kids.
- Ratings crashed from 4.3M to 1.8M.
What we missed: Creator Charlie Higson had Season 2 written! Robert was set to find his father in Sri Lanka and join the MIO. Instead, the cliffhanger stands: after the finale’s chaos, Higson joked, “They’re all dead!” A cult classic cut short by bad timing.
This example clearly shows AI at its sloppiest…
A process that looks realistic combined with vague insinuations of corporate misconduct and no verifiable claims equals maximum engagement with minimal responsibility.
It’s not meant to be art or satire. Its purpose is simply to catch someone’s eye, evoke a brief alarm, and prompt sharing.
Sharing this fake video can be risky, especially if people can’t tell if it’s real or not. Be vigilant and do your research.
