I'm sorry Russian cat girls? Wat?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

May be referring to this: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/call-to-pause-superconductor-experiments-parodies-open-letter-to-pause-ai-experiments

Then the letter quickly establishes its case for caution, pausing superconductor experiments that could cause astonishing challenges. It asserts that the worlds of physics and technology could be changed forever, and this is backed by “top scientific institutions and Russian anime cat girls.”

Yeah a lot of nitter instances are down, I use nitter.cz now and it is faster to type…
