Not a programmer but I'm pretty sure we have off the shrlf code that makes ot possible to shazam a youtube link and use the key words in the result to warn of a rick roll, though the process might take slightly more time than getting rick rolled.

It a) may be a refinement or evolution of that other code or b) this person’s appropriation of similar (newer) code, or c) both.  However, that it is being targeted for Rick Roll detection leaves more to question.

Feel free to share any interesting advances in tech that sort of fit this bill of niche or overkill.

Hey, a new miracle vaccine, one that uses never before human tested mRNA technology.

We don't know where the mRNA goes in the human body.

We don't know what dose of protein is created by the mRNA (prodrug)

We don't know how long the mRNA last in the human body

AND we don't know the fidelity to which the mRNA makes the protein.

BUT by GOD it's a fucking miracle! Slurp it up like hot fudge! YUM!

The post called it "Amazing Lizard Cosplay"...

The article said:

Allen’s piece offers a clear example of how rapidly AI-generated art has advanced. Trained on billions of internet images, the systems have decisively pushed the boundaries of what computers can create.

But it has also sparked a massive debate over the meaning of art, with Allen facing accusations that he had been deceptive in beating out other human artists with something he asked a machine to create. 

But AI-generated art has been criticized as automated plagiarism, because it relies on millions of ingested art pieces that are then parroted en masse. It has also fueled deeper fears: of decimating people’s creative work, blurring the boundaries of reality or smothering human art.

Allen said his art piece shows people need to “get past their denial and fear” of a technology that could empower new inventions and reshape our world. The AI, he said, “is a tool, just like the paintbrush is a tool. Without the person, there is no creative force.”

But he also struck a note of defiance at the critics he believed did not appreciate the profound message in his AI-generated art.

“You said AI would never be as good as you, that AI would never do the work you do, and I said, ‘Oh really? How about this? I won’,” he said. “It’s here now. Recognize it. Stop denying the reality. AI isn’t going away.”

This has been on NASA's backburner since 1996 and it was launched December 25, 2021. Within it's first few weeks, it's already messing with the Big Bang theory, and we're starting to see a divide in the science communities over it. Arguments that it doesn't disprove anything or that it proves something, one side mocking the other, name calling etc.

It is, the James Webb Telescope.

The above illustration is part of it's construction phase, so it's unfinished there. It is quite large.

Most amazing thing about the above image, is the fact they even had such a thing. Plus this telescope isn't coming back home. It's orbit is 1.5 million kilometers away from the Earth, which is too far for routine maintenance. They had to get it right. Aside from that the telescope does have a lifespan, cause it was required to use fuel for some of it's functions.

The project costed 10 Billion dollars probably because it took 24 years to solve all the issues it would have to face in the harsh environment of outer space.

The lighting in this illustration isn't correct. The platform part of the telescope is a heat shield facing in the Sun's direction, so the other side can run cold and in the dark. ( Shadow casting is really dark in outer space, as there isn't any objects like a ground, for light to refract off of ) As it is in the solar system, one side of the machine is extremely hot, the other side is freezing cold.

Orbit looks like this.

I remember when I was a child in the 80's, we'd be able to look up and see the stars at night. Today we can't unless we go to areas with less light pollution. What we'd then see is a mess of stars that is a part of our own galaxy, while that big patch of stars would be our galaxy's center we're a part of.

There's the Andromeda galaxy which is an entirely different mess of stars.

This next image...

 is the James Webb Telescope's deep field. Like the Hubble telescope, it focuses on a random pixel in the sky and goes in deep like a freaky microscope. Mind you these aren't stars, they are entire galaxies which of are visible from the stars they are made from.

It is looking back 12.7 billion lightyears into the past !

Into the past ? Yes, because light travels it takes 12 billion years from that point to reach here. To put that into perspective, if 2 galaxies collided, or something blew up, it would take 12 billion years for us to see it even happen, from this and that distance.

The James Webb telescope will observe other worlds in other galaxies, but of course they start with our own heavenly bodies. 

A very rare image showing Jupiter's ring, and it's auroras. The telescope has filters and other tricks to either put away or make details stand out. It can probably capture the flag on the moon and serve it to us a dozen different ways.

On a side note, if you know about Jupiter it's really something else. I don't even consider it a planet personally. Planet is just an identity. Jupiter is clearly a thing with no better description. It protects us more than it puts us in danger. It's like a sponge soaking up potential threats. It can probably destroy us to if something arrives with poor timing.

James Webb will be observing planets in other solar systems in other galaxies. 

If there's a world with artificial lighting like our own within the telescopes reach, it will recognize it.

For some this technology won't seem like a miracle, but one thing's for certain, it's a lot of work and it wasn't easy to do.

I don't confirm this video presentation's claims. I brought it here to outline the type of buzz we'll be seeing in the back and forth clashes in the science community.

For many, the big bang theory.... Isn't a theory and for them it's become worth arguing over, like a belief.
