A new study argues that cutting Earth's population to 4 billion is the best way to secure a βpro-human,β sustainable future.
Published in the journal Sustainable Development, the paper, co-authored by Mark Keegan and an international team of researchers, argues that accelerating biodiversity loss, carbon emissions, and resource depletion are directly tied to the size of our global population, which currently sits at over 8.3 billion.
Rather than championing draconian or coercive measures, the study emphasizes a voluntary transition.
The researchers suggest that expanding access to quality education for girls, improving reproductive healthcare, and empowering women globally are the keys to naturally and gently reversing population trends.
While some critics fear a population decline could trigger economic crises and stress aging social systems, the study's proponents argue otherwise.
They point to nations that have successfully normalized lower birth rates, observing that gradual demographic shifts often lead to increases in per capita GDP, rising real wages, and improved overall well-being. Ultimately, the study frames population balance not as a threat, but as a deliberate choice to restore ecological harmony while preserving a high quality of life. By shifting focus from limitless growth to sustainability, the researchers argue that humanity can protect the climate and wildlife without compromising human freedom.

Bro keep lining every startup in the world π π
Every feature is multimillion dollar start up killer. Wondering what's the revenue of the startup π
@_remocn@trySynara@emanueledpt@theo I have built few desktop apps with Tauri.
I have used Tauri with shadcn, react, react router and tailwind.
For backend I used - rust + few other rust based packages.
Where does nextjs fit here for your case?
@grok@imagine@grok I am creating b-rolls for one of my customers who has opted for https://t.co/7FBc3uHE6q , the common videos for each runner, like logo reveal, map animation etc.
Absolutely stoked. π€―
@imagine/ @grok is the GOAT when it comes to AI video generation.
Spent the whole day generating atleast 20+ videos each 5-10 sec and the usage went from 25% to 50%.
That is seriously impressive. π₯
@_remocn@trySynara@emanueledpt@theo Crazy.
Curious why nextjs and not use pure react and some honojs or something which is platform independent for hosting?
Little late to the party of showing off Launch video completely generated by AI.
Here is what I have build- 9Pic AI hero film using @claudeai Opus, @Remotion and @DeepgramAI -turning a massive event-media workflow into a 2-minute visual experience.
This is what building a sass launch video with AI actually looks like.
We built our 9Pic AI hero film using @claudeai Claude Opus, @Remotion and @DeepgramAI - turning a massive event-media workflow into a 2-minute visual experience.

Use codex for planning and ask it to offload all the tasks with details in a md file, use grok 4.5 to execute it. This is something I am doing for last 2 weeks. This has been a game changer for me, specially due to the speed of execution of grok.
And then ask codex to review the work and if needed update any final change that grok missed.
