Only saying this for general informational purposes, but if you want to be able to follow Lemmy and Mastodon content and post either, kbin supports that out of the box (masto style content is called "microblogs")
Afaik they did build it in real life, and the paper in fact is about the process for manufacturing it, not just about the properties or simulations.
People have replicated the simulations so far, but are still working on replicating the manufacturing process, as it has low yeild and some variability apparently
Canadian poutine eater here.... IMO sadly there is no substitute for the curds. They are just texturally unique. It's quite important considering it's one of only three ingredients.
I know your pain though, I was living in the states for a bit and it was basically impossible to get good poutine. If I wanted it I had to make it myself, which meant a long trip to Tillamook to buy cheese curds from the source direct.
If AI gets to the point where it can truly replicate anything, even so it won't be the end of human creativity, so I expect humans will still be making new things and new forms of art.
Spot on! Actually people still talk about hands but it's already been solved with many newer image gen models... The hands they produce look perfectly fine usually these days.
