Umm, how is that relevant when we're on track to automate most of the workforce, lol? People are so naive to what's happening.
The next step for society is not people losing their jobs to automation figuring out how to upgrade their skills, it's how governments will deal with an exponential explosion in unemployment in the coming decades. Like, c'mon, haha.
There's many paths to up skill that make sense depending on the industry and situation. The automation in a factory for example, still needs humans to implement and run on a daily basis, which requires upskilling of the existing workers to support. It'll eliminate the manual tasks on the line and thus reduce the headcount, but new jobs are created while shifting to the new world (albeit less than what was eliminated).
In other industries, the automation still needs to be created by an automation developer and then maintained forever as other interfaces change. It's an existing role as a software developer, but requires upskilling to learn automation. In the same industry, we are pushing hard for our team to get up-skilled on generative AI because while the engine will spit out samples of code based on instructions a human gives it, a human is still needed to select the sample to use as their base and then refine the code to fit the purpose.
Manual software testers as a final example were always needed in the IT industry, but these days, if you don't know how to develop automated code to automate the testing of software, and transition yourself to be an SDET vs. a tester, you'll face big challenges to stay employed.
Phosphine Gas has been found deeper in Venus' atmosphere than ever before. This is significant because there is only 2 known ways the gas is produced on earth, via living organisms or in a lab.

People have been left shaken up after a rare 6ft fish - thought to appear before catastrophe - was spotted by divers. Not ideal.
The bizarre looking creature - which has an elongated, silvery-coloured flat body, dotted with holes - came up close to divers off the coast of Taiwan.
While the creature may look pretty unusual - they also have an interesting, and somewhat terrifying, legend associated with them.
It’s believed that the fish, known as a Russell's Oarfish, is believed to be a harbinger of coming doom or danger, especially in Japanese mythology where they are believed to be an omen for tsunamis and earthquakes and, as such, have been branded the ‘Doomsday Fish’.
that photo is absolutely bizarre. Like the fish is posing and the guy has his arm around it. Like, is that diver touching the fish? Is that thing dead or alive?

Weird. All of it.
It is also the typical guy who caught a fish and wants to make it look bigger pose. It is cheating with perspective to make the fish look bigger than it is.

Personally when I'm in the ocean and see a fish that is bigger than me my first thought is get the heck out of there, not go up and touch it.
Room-temperature superconductivity is important because it has the potential to revolutionize multiple aspects of science and technology. One of the most significant advantages of room-temperature superconductors is the unprecedented energy efficiency they offer. Traditional superconductors require extremely low temperatures to function, making their practical applications limited and energy-intensive. However, with room-temperature superconductors, power transmission and distribution systems experience minimal energy losses due to virtually zero electrical resistance.
Additionally, the advent of room-temperature superconductivity could pave the way for groundbreaking advancements in transportation, such as high-speed trains that can travel without using much energy. Moreover, superconducting materials could be utilized in energy storage devices, enabling highly efficient and compact solutions for grid-scale storage and portable electronics.

Perspective is making that fish look bigger than it is. They come out at night and just kind of float vertically while sucking in plankton. There was an episode of River Monsters with a species of Oarfish.
Speaking of science, it’s Shark Week. Sharks and science are wonderful.
Love sharks (from a distance anyway) sharks are one of the most successful species to ever live, we should study them more as they have survived every major mass extinction event spanning over 400 million years.
