I'm pissed off. Half the Innovation section on the BBC website is about AI

What about materials science? Rocket science? Chemistry? Medicine? Is that all the fucking innovation we're capable of now?

I've had the same thought for a while now. I have a tech news feed that I listen to sometimes and it's been full of AI this and AI that and I'm like what about the rest of the tech world?!?!!?

I'm glad you mentioned material science and medicine in particular. My dad is a researcher in the first and my mom is a researcher in the second. And there is SO MUCH happening in both their fields, but none of it makes the news like it used to.

@sarabee1995 They've managed to engineer a therapy that detonates and takes out colon cancer cells

@Longpatrol Very cool. Cancer is something we really need to get together on and just crush. We could do it if we decided to. Cancer just fucking sucks. 😠
