2023 Predictions - vegetables and sex dolls

Jan 4

Hello! We start the New Year with two quirky stories.

First, the British royal family will have both births and happy times, says Jemima Packington. The interesting thing is that she isn’t a personal friend or privy to insider royal knowledge, but a fortune teller who predicts the future using asparagus! She simply throws a bunch in the air and reads how they land! We suppose it’s now safe to proclaim “Out with crystal balls and in with vegetables!”

Secondly, South Koreans were officially allowed to end the year with a “bang”. Seems like sex dolls have finally been allowed to enter the country after years of “stiff” lobbying from their fans! Nothing more need be said on this one ….

Among more important items of note in this issue; scientists use AI to detect early knee osteoarthritis, 10 digital twin trends for 2023, and Artificial Intelligence without the right data is just... Artificial!
