Hi. One of my friends is a vegan (yes, i know, but that's not the point) and she's very interested in product testing on animals...Namely, technology that can replicate it. See, she's looking for more information on how technology, machines or otherwise, might be as accurate of measuring devices than test animals.

I want to help her really bad, and I want to give her some info as sort of a late xmas gift...can anyone give me ANY information? Keywords I might want to try? Names of machines? Websites?

Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
