Norway now has more than 2,000 underwater AI laser robots shooting lice off its salmon
they're made by a company called Stingray, and they already guard more than 50 million salmon and trout 24/7
the reason is sea lice, tiny parasites that latch onto salmon and feed on them
as few as 11 can kill a small fish, and one pen can hold 150,000 salmon
the usual fix is pumping the fish out and blasting them with warm water or water jets to knock the lice off
but the handling is so rough that Norway's fish health report ranks it the top cause of death in full-grown farmed salmon
so instead, Stingray puts a robot inside the pen that hunts lice one at a time, all day:
> two cameras watch every salmon that swims past
> AI checks two frames to make sure it's really a louse
> then a green laser fires from up to 2 meters away
> the salmon's scales reflect the beam, so the fish swims off fine and the louse is dead
we now live in a world where AI lasers do pest control on your dinner lmao

SpaceX will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy booster and Starship on the upcoming flight.
If both are successful, it will mark the first time that all parts of an orbital rocket return to Earth intact.
This is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.
More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

Tesla and SpaceX have created meaningful wealth for hundreds of thousands of employees over time and improved the retirement savings of hundreds of millions of people
I have a new favorite prompt for whatever AI you choose to use.
"Perform an adversarial credibility audit of this news story.
Act as an ethical investigative prosecutor. Your job is to actively search for misleading framing, selective omissions, ideological bias, questionable sources, manipulated statistics, and unsupported conclusions.
Do not assume the reporting is honest, but do not assume it is dishonest either. Put the results in plain language, I am not an attorney."
Saw a news story about google causing wildlife disruption in Finland by proceeding on construction without cooperating with environmental regulations.
Upon investigation, Google requested the evaluation process with the respective agency fifteen months ago, and ONE PERSON said they saw more wolves than usual. That's the story.
If the agency you are relying on for evaluation can't finish the job in fifteen months, that's their own damned problem. And ONE PERSON'S ANECDOTE is not reputable news.
You don't hate the news media enough.

Hot take from Japan:
The greatest thing America ever sent us is Costco.
Hear me out.
Japanese homes are small. Our fridges are small. Our cars are small.
So on a Saturday morning, a Japanese family squeezes into their tiny car, drives to Costco, and walks into a building roughly the size of their entire neighborhood.
They see a 48-pack of toilet paper.
They have nowhere to put it.
They buy it anyway.
They buy a box of muffins bigger than their kid's head.
They buy a rotisserie chicken. Nobody knows where it's going to fit in the fridge.
On the drive home, the kids in the back seat are buried under paper towels.
Then something very Japanese happens.
Back home, they split everything with the neighbors.
Half the muffins go next door.
The toilet paper gets divided between three families.
Somebody's grandma receives a giant jar of peanut butter she will never fully understand.
That's the thing about Costco in Japan.
It was built for big American families.
So Japan turned the whole neighborhood into one.
America, thank you. Our apartments have never been this full.
Or this happy.
