Here’s some cool shit I came across this week, in no particular order.
Cool AI Shit
Scarlett Johansson is suing OpenAi (the company behind ChatGPT) for creating an AI voice similar to hers. It turns out they were trying to sign her up to lend her voice right before launch.
In other AI shit, if you’re tired of Google’s AI results, you can get rid of them.
Cool Geek Shit
You can get a replica of Mumm-Ra’s helmet (the villain from Thundercats) for half off right now.
Cool Art Shit
Katsushika Hokusai, the artist who created The Great Wave off Kanagawa, didn’t create his most well known piece until he was 71 and actually spent a good portion of his life making wave paintings, ultimately culminating in his masterpiece.
Cool Science Shit
Partly due to global warming, the rotation rate of the earth is changing.
Cool Sleep Shit
I never knew that lucid dreaming was a learnable skill.
Cool Nature Shit
A rare Octopus Squid has headlights on two of it’s arms.
