I think the English terms "virtual" and "artificial" both suffer from the implication that the thing being described is "not real", as opposed to "human-made" or "abiological" or "machine" intelligence. It is real intelligence -- not as generalized as human intelligence, but it can detect patterns, make predictions, and use tools to modify its environment, which is arguably what people mean by "intelligence".

Has Apple improved Siri yet? When I asked Siri "What are humans made of?", she answered "Humans are made of human body." Fkn hilarious. Meanwhile Android phones have had Gemini for a long time now. And now Apple is giving up on developing their own AI models and will be paying Google to use Gemini for Siri. Might as well just pay less for an Android phone and get the same Gemini model.

Alita: Battle Angel. The setting is fascinating (Earth is wrecked due to one elite faction taking an opportunity to destroy the other elite factions, but enough time has passed that the world has mostly recovered but is still controlled by the 1 elite faction), but the plot (winning a sportsball game) is abysmally mundane.

Because of its small size and high sensitivity, the combination of mechanical resonator and qubit could also be used for extremely precise sensing. For example, Safavi-Naeini’s team, in collaboration with physicist Michael Roukes’ team at Caltech, is already pursuing use of this platform to detect and identify proteins within cells.

Wow that would be cool. Imagine hearing the sound of all of the proteins clicking molecules together/apart.

I didn't recognize those names, so I looked them up:

  • Jacob Bachmeyer: Jacob Bachmeier (born January 29, 1998) is an American politician who served in the Montana House of Representatives from 2017 through 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, Bachmeier was elected to office at the age of 18, making him the youngest person ever to be elected to the Montana House of Representatives.[1]
  • Richard Stallman: Richard Matthew Stallman (/ˈstɔːlmən/ STAWL-mən; born March 16, 1953), also known by his initials rms,[1] is an American free software movement activist and programmer. He campaigns for software to be distributed in such a manner that its users have the freedom to use, study, distribute, and modify that software. Software which ensures these freedoms is termed free software. Stallman launched the GNU Project, founded the Free Software Foundation (FSF) in October 1985,[2] developed the GNU C Compiler and GNU Emacs, and wrote all versions of the GNU General Public License.

Idk about Jacob Bachmeyer, but for me, Richard Stallman's opinion would carry weight.
