this is a good picture!

Have you taken a colorblindness test?

Yeah lemme spend a couple grand and months of my time on that real quick

The results don't actually seem all that exciting?

So they sewed a single pig lung into a brain-dead human... and then within a few days the body showed signs of organ rejection.

They performed a transplant, but it wasn't successful.

Oh god, why does it have human eyes?

Most of the histeria comes from the first year of development being fairly open with news and trailers and music and even a live playable demo, which was then followed by about six years of almost total radio silence. Since the first game took only half that time to develop, and there weren't any indicators of progress, people started to fear the game was stuck in dev purgatory. Not to mention there were a couple false release dates dropped*, and other setbacks like covid and the Unity ceo's bullshit. Eventually it turned into a meme among the fans.

In the body, the shapes of many collagen-containing tissues, including corneas, are held in place by attractions of oppositely charged components. These tissues contain a lot of water, so applying an electric potential to them lowers the tissue’s pH, making it more acidic. By altering the pH, the rigid attractions within the tissue are loosened and make the shape malleable. When the original pH is restored, the tissue is locked into the new shape.

In this work, the team constructed specialized, platinum “contact lenses” that provided a template for the corrected shape of the cornea, then placed each over a rabbit eyeball in a saline solution meant to mimic natural tears. The platinum lens acted as an electrode to generate a precise pH change when the researchers applied a small electric potential to the lens. After about a minute, the cornea’s curvature conformed to the shape of the lens — about the same amount of time LASIK takes, but with fewer steps, less expensive equipment and no incisions.

Sounds cool! Hope it continues to do well in further testing, since it hasn't been performed on any live animals yet.

I understand that photoshop made the technology more accessible to ordinary people, but wasn't superimposing and image editing already possible well before then? (Green screens, double exposures, etc). A sufficiently motivated and skillful person could just paint over an existing photo and take a picture of that. Why are they talking like this is the first time a photograph can be edited in misleading ways?

Ah. Cool. So they can just say you're trans and fire you, even if you're not? Coool.
