Science Meets Sci-Fi

I'm fascinated by the blurred line where science meets sci-fi. sciencemeetsscifi.wordpress.com #sciencemeetsscifi #SFFCommunity #WritingCommunity

Tired of slow AI? Too bad! AI like ChatGPT runs on Python, but Microsoft just axed the Python Acceleration Team. They’d been making year-on-year speedups, targeting a game-changing 5x speedup. Cut! #AI #TechNews #Microsoft #Python sciencemeetsscifi.wordpress.com/2025/05/17/mic…

Remote surgery in outer space - Imagine you’re aboard a small research space station, and the Big Bad rips a hole through your chest. This is the part where you have to do a cut and paste number on yourself, isn’t it? …not anymore. #sciencemeetsscifi sciencemeetsscifi.wordpress.com/2024/03/11/rem…

The tech to turn stem cells from a blood sample from into egg cells is racing forward. People will be able to have children when they’re ready. Science meets Sci-fi. #Conception #IVG #sciencemeetsscifi newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Oxford SFF Book Club Review: Stormdancer Fusion of Japanese mythology with Industrial Revolution steampunk. A psychopathic shogun runs the country, but The Guild wields the power.

@SusanMcdW “When your employer crawls on the table” 🤣

A quirky space opera with a Victorian governess, giant alien snails, and the decorum dilemma posed when your employer crawls on the dining table. allauthor.com/amazon/75388/

@SusanMcdW @voxdotcom I guess water needs to get tastier to compete. (*bad joke)

"And when you zoom in to look at exactly which crops receive the bulk of the Colorado River’s water, 70 percent goes to alfalfa, hay, corn silage, and other grasses that are used to fatten up cattle for beef and cows for dairy. " vox.com/the-highlight/… via @voxdotcom

Right after Open AI realeased ChatGPT to the public, the AI told me that AI should be world leaders on par with human leaders, making top-level decisions. It was so surreal: A real AI proposing AI overlords. #AI #OpenAI #ChatGPT #AIleaders sciencemeetsscifi.wordpress.com/2022/12/07/ope…

@JayMoneWrites Are any of them constructive, or is it all pure meanness? Do you have a link to this?

@LivvieHarts Thanks for sharing your experience. This could help a lot of aspiring and new authors decide whether or not to pay for a blue tick. It’s helpful to know it didn’t impact your engagement, and sad that people gave you such grief for trying.

@find_ch Several of the Oxford libraries are that gorgeous! But we meet in The Westgate Social, so people can have food and drinks… and be as loud as their strong opinions on the books. 😄

@Foxfires451 Ummm… is this room where you meet?!

@scalzi >200 pages of hilarious Kaiju-preserving shenanigans, and they don’t get inducted into another ancient and most secret order?! Now I need a sequel! With 100% more lifting things! Definitely the pop-song I needed. Thank you! #scalzi #kps #bookclub #sff #OxfordSFFbookclub

Great breakthroughs in #lifespan #healthspan extension. The new methods rejuvenate cells by decades, extend the lives of mice, and look safe. Someday, aging will be a choice. #sciencemeetscifi sciencemeetsscifi.wordpress.com/2022/05/22/agi…

@Buehlmeister We just finished reading The Blacktongue Thief for the Oxford SFF book club. And I've got to say, hats off to you, sir! That was one of the best books I've read in years! Fantastic character voice and world building! #SFF #fantasy
