(thanks to GPT 4-o ; i could not fully recal the scene)
This story is a well-known scene from the film “Blade Runner,” directed by Ridley Scott and released in 1982. The character Tyrell poses this question to the replicant Leon as a test to explore his empathy and moral reasoning. The tortoise metaphorically represents vulnerability and the moral obligation to help those in need.

Ferroelectric structures have spontaneous macroscopic polarization that can be inverted using external electric fields and have potential applications including information storage, energy transduction, ultralow-power nanoelectronics1,2 and biomedical devices3. These functions would benefit from nanoscale control of ferroelectric structure, the ability to switch polarization with lower applied fields (low coercive field) and biocompatibility. Soft ferroelectrics based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)4,5,6 have a thermodynamically unstable ferroelectric phase in the homopolymer, complex semi-crystalline structures, and high coercive fields. Here we report on ferroelectric materials formed by water-soluble molecules containing only six VDF repeating units covalently conjugated to a tetrapeptide, with the propensity to assemble into the β-sheet structures that are ubiquitous in proteins. This led to the discovery of ribbon-shaped ferroelectric supramolecular assemblies that are thermodynamically stable with their long axes parallel to both the preferred hydrogen-bonding direction of β-sheets and the bistable polar axes of VDF hexamers. Relative to a commonly used ferroelectric copolymer, the biomolecular assemblies exhibit a coercive field that is two orders of magnitude lower, as the result of supramolecular dynamics, and a similar level of remnant polarization, despite having a peptide content of 49 wt%. Furthermore, the Curie temperature of the assemblies is about 40 °C higher than that of a copolymer containing a similar amount of VDF. This supramolecular system was created using a biologically inspired strategy that is attractive in terms of sustainability and that could lead to new functions for soft ferroelectrics.
Fantasy in, fantasy out. Don’t use it if you don’t know this or if you can’t repair its mistakes.
Wow thanks. So this is not about security and technology … it must be about politics and business. Meaning the timing of this move might be related to replacement processors that they are manufacturing.
Engineering Works begin after Architecture fantasy is done. I would let fantasy being done by artificial intelligence but not engineering, not nowadays … since it is not yet safely done by a.i.

i like your comment here, just one reflection :
Thinking is relational, it requires an internal self awareness.
i think it’s like the chicken and the egg : they both come together … one could try to argue that self-awareness comes from thinking in the fashion of : “i think so i am”
Yes, i want Muslims to stop waging war between themselves and you are absolutely right that they are not doing peace at all between themselves, on the contrary. My hope here is completely disconnected from reality : you are absolutely right.
Not only that but also, this “tit for tat” strategy to decrease war is not applied at all in these many conflicts … although it is demonstrated to be the way to minimize war.
The best strategy to minimize war :
Generous-tit-for-tat (GTFT)
… the best reference, i could find is

By this, muslim world has a lot of bombs to drop on iSSrael to prevent further wars.
You can keep that shitty country for you monsters anyway. No one sane of mind would want to go there or live there now.
Not OpenAI, now they will be ClosedAI :

Clearly we do disagree about this guy, Julian Assange.
But maybe we can agree on other related questions … like the fact that russia today is spreading huge amounts of propaganda and have some bad influence in the USA and other countries.
Also you may agree that there are whistleblowers in the western world who do good by denouncing bad actions from Western governments or rich people. Amongst these, we may cite the Panama papers and some other cases …
Or maybe we can’t agree at all … anyway.
At long last. Now I wish he will be paid preparations : he deserves recognition and compensations.

Israel bombards southern Lebanon after Hezbollah chief vows ‘punishment’ since they are in genocides and other stuff.
i like your explanation and i even see one more way you are right about this (and i was wrong) : while it might be a long shot investing in this research, the cost of this is minimal compared to the benefit. So, it’s worth the shot (even if the chances of success are … hum … unknowable for now)
Thanks for your reply. You are probably right and I was commenting in frustration about researchers not giving enough credit to nature’s capabilities.
Just wait a few more weeks. Eventually when the value reaches ≈ $5.93 x 10^66
then, paying in gold, that would be such a huge ball it would create a black hole in which we could send putSSin and any other russians who would like to be crushed … or more simply crush him by any other means.
