サマリー
あらすじ・解説
We already guessed it, but now we have the science to back it up: bots successfully drive up engagement of online platforms, but also drive down human connection in the process. For all the clamor, excitement, and maybe dread about an AI-powered future, we did settle on the fact its human connection that still matters most. But is that the path we’re headed down?
Beyond this, we also look into hydrocarbon-producing leaves, underwater habitation, not-so-forever chemicals, using light to make AI computations, and much more.
Please, enjoy.
