Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.

It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx

Depremde onbinler ölür istifa yok, otelde insanlar yanarak ölür istifa yok, maden kazası olur istifa yok, hastanede bebek öldürülür istifa yok, memleketin 50 yeri aynı anda yanar istifa yok, okul taranır istifa yok. Her felaketin sebebi kader, her güzelliğin sebebi tek bir kişi.

The signal strength hitting Earth from Voyager 1 is less than one trillionth of a watt.

To put that in perspective, your phone’s WiFi signal is roughly 100 billion times stronger, and it drops a connection walking between rooms.

NASA picks up Voyager’s whisper using arrays of 70-meter antennas, then reconstructs coherent data from it at 160 bits per second. That’s slower than a 1990s modem. Downloading a single photograph at that rate would take weeks.

The spacecraft itself runs on 8.8 kg of decaying plutonium-238 that generated 470 watts at launch in 1977. Today it produces roughly 200 watts, losing about 4 watts per year. NASA has been shutting down instruments one by one since the 1980s to keep the math working. They turned off the cosmic ray sensor just this year.

And here’s the part nobody’s talking about: there is exactly one antenna on Earth that can send commands to Voyager. Deep Space Station 43 in Canberra. It went offline for major upgrades from May 2025 through early 2026. During that window, if Voyager had a critical fault, the team would have had to wait months to respond.

A 48-year-old spacecraft built on 1970s computing, running on a plutonium battery that’s lost 60% of its output, transmitting at a power level that barely qualifies as existing, from a distance where light itself takes 23 hours to arrive. And a German observatory just casually picked up its carrier signal on a live stream.

The engineering margin NASA built into this mission was designed for 4 years to Saturn. Everything after that is borrowed time the engineers keep extending by doing math with 200 watts.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker, published 70 years ago in April 1955, features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist & rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi.
Such a silly idea! 😆

🚨 NEW: One of the largest COVID-19 vaccine studies ever (28 MILLION people in France) just dropped.

Results?
• 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19
• 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality
• No increase in 4-year mortality
• Vaccinated people had lower risk of death from any cause.
In short: mRNA vaccines weren’t just safe — they were protective across the board. 🔥📉

Media hype around “Made in China” battery systems being the “best” has never been confirmed in real-world practice.
We are raising serious concerns about Tesla Model 3/Y LG NCM811 battery packs (LGES Nanjing), which show extremely high failure rates and a noticeably shorter end-of-life compared with Panasonic NCA packs (Made in USA).

In over 90% of the cases we receive, cell-level repair is not possible on LG packs. The cell degradation within affected modules is far beyond anything that could be restored. The issue is rarely a single bad cell—most failing modules contain multiple cells with extremely high internal resistance. Out of 46 cells, it is common to find 15 cells over 100 mΩ ACIR, and the remaining 30 cells above 50 mΩ ACIR.
Given these patterns, adjacent series groups measured in parallel modules often show resistance values already above acceptable limits. This means that even if we replace the faulty cells with used, matching donor cells (never with new cells), the remaining weakened cells are likely to fail in a cascade. This makes the repair operationally unsustainable, as the entire pack is clearly nearing end-of-life, exposing us to extremely high warranty and labor costs.

Another unknown is this:
If one out of four modules is badly degraded, what are the chances that replacing a single module will result in a stable pack, and for how long?
Is it realistic to expect another 100,000 km of trouble-free use after replacing one module?
Most likely not.

At this moment, during ongoing experimental testing with real customers experiencing LG failures, we are losing over €20,000 per month in operational time while investigating whether LG’s Chinese NCM811 systems can be sustainably repaired. At this stage, we can confidently say: the cells are, to put it mildly, catastrophic. Panasonic has mostly single cell falire at 250,000km, and it is repairable, where LG hasmultiple cell failur.

For reference:
•A healthy Panasonic cell typically shows ~10 mΩ, while a new LG Nanjing cell starts around 28 mΩ.
•A failing Panasonic cell reaches ~28 mΩ, which is what LG cells measure when brand new.

It is extremely difficult to explain this complexity to customers.
The only alternative we can responsibly offer—although very rarely—is replacing the entire battery pack with a used Panasonic pack from the secondary market.

This brings us to a fundamental question:
Where does the media hype come from claiming that Chinese-made cells are “better”?
In practice, the best Li-ion cells are made in Europe (LG Chem, Samsung SDI) and the USA (Panasonic).
China’s strength is limited primarily to LFP technology, but Blade-format LFP packs are entirely non-repairable researched by independent institutes.

Important Notice for Tesla owners with Chinese LG packs

Due to extremely high operational losses, we must introduce an experimental “repair check feasibility” fee to determine whether repair is even possible.
If the pack is deemed non-repairable, the only options are:
1.Replacement with a used Panasonic pack
2.Full pack replacement at a Tesla Service Center

When supplying used Panasonic packs, we do not guarantee range, charging speed, or long-term capacity.
Warranty covers functional defects—not degradation or reduced range.

This article also serves as an official disclaimer.
