Scientists Created an Entire Social Network Where Every User Is a Bot, and Something Wild Happened

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-15 06:36:33

It's no secret that social media has devolved into a toxic cesspool of disinformation and hate speech. Without any meaningful pressure to come up with effective guardrails and enforceable policies, social media platforms quickly turned into rage-filled and polarizing echo chambers with one purpose: to keep users hooked on outrage and brain rot so they can display more ads. And given the results of a recent experiment by researchers at the University of Amsterdam, they may be doomed to stay tha

Battlestar Galactica might finally get the video game adaption it deserves

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-16 03:00:32

In the 16 years since Ronald D. Moore's take on Battlestar Galactica ended its official TV run in 2009, the most surprising thing about the series is that it hasn't inspired many great games.
