      >Remote-control robot bugs could deliver lifesaving aid to disaster victims

      >Imagine you are trapped under rubble after an earthquake and you see an electronics-covered cockroach with a spring-loaded needle on its back scuttling toward you. Although the sight might be unnerving, to say the least, this prototype paramedic 
      cyborg, or “Paraborg,” might one day help deliver lifesaving aid to disaster victims who might be otherwise impossible to reach.

      finally *my* vision of the future draws nearer

      This will be the final DT without Charlie Kirk. As such, it is a pretty shitty thread so far.

      I think wrt I/P people here struggled with the fact that even a legitimate war goal can still be used as a false pretense for committing war crimes or pushing ulterior motives.

      Can’t believe there are still Electoral College defenders in the year of our lord 2026.

      Giuliani said the most bigoted shit about Mamdani in relation to 9/11 for the past few days and Mamdani brushes it off calmly and proceeds to release all those files which prove Giuliani lied about safety of the air quality in the immediate aftermath of 9/11

      the future is first aid being administered by ai-driven swarms of cyborg roaches and I think that’s inspiring

      Being fetterman’s staffer would probably kind of a sick job tbh, you wake up everyday and text him “job today?” and he replied “no” and you go back to sleep

      I can’t believe people believe in 9/11 conspiracy theories. There was no 9/11 conspiracy. The guys that highjacked the planes did so independently by coincidence and never agreed to commit the crime together. It was actually all a big accident.

      I’m enjoying it but if you proposed some of the things Acemoglu wrote in his new book (*What Happened to Liberal Democracy*), like social media restrictions for children and the way he wants to go after the rich^tm , in the dt, you’d absolutely be called a succ.
