I lost my breath, even before reading the article, which I am looking forward to.

Last week, Argentina’s President Milei announced a new legal category for non-human corporations – companies run by #AI agents or robots. Like traditional corporations, they would be granted legal personhood. This could generate enormous new wealth, but very worryingly, it would also hand AIs an all-purpose key that grants access to our financial, economic and political systems.

INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.

This 60-minute Cambridge lecture by Demis Hassabis will teach you more about the future of AI than most people will learn in the next 5 years.

Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.

Taught by the people who built it.

Free. No registration. No paywall.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

Watch it and bookmark it now.

The extreme of brutal there may be that one MUST know the table of multiplication and break numbers in products of prime numbers or naturally work the dimensional part of F = ma. The Romanian curriculum for physics in 9th grade was and continues to be college level in the US.

[Peter Otten @realPeterOtten]

@DBradley08 @ericweinstein Chinese schools are impossibly brutal, and they reach the level of a US high school graduate about in 7th grade on average. That´s a fact. Comparison with Europe is similar. We have failing schools systems beyond what anyone can imagine.

[Manuela Constantinescu @ManuPaysForward]

In the US, one who passes the PRAXIS based on a textbook by someone paid peanuts to write it CAN start teaching tomorrow without a degree in the STEM field.

[Peter Otten @realPeterOtten]

@ericweinstein it is a bit more nuanced. K12 doesnt teach STEM, even though they say they do, but they really dont. So then, there are no people who could start a STEM degree. And that´s where Indians and Chinese come in, who´s K12 isnt broken.

[Eric Weinstein @ericweinstein]

It’s extremely hard to “do a little disclosure” and avoid the tight scientific/societal questions. The only way this has worked has been starving smart technical people for any detail at all.

What I will be watching:

Everyone: “Did the government psy-op us all with BS? If so: Why????”

Biologists: “You said the government has alien biologics? Do they have eukaryotic cells? If so what do we know about their histones, matrilineal mitochondrial dna, hemoglobin atp synthase??? What is their placement on the phylogenetic tree? Tetrapods??? Isolates?? If not eucaryotic, how are their cells/tissues organized? Do they use proteins?? What are their body plans??”

Linguists: “What is the structure of their communication schemes? Can it be mapped onto a generalized human grammar? Or are our languages not expressive enough to cover their languages? Do they use sound or light or some other wave to transmit/receive? Do they have an analog of music??”

Physicists: “How do the standard model and general relativity appear as effective theories/lagrangians of the alien understanding of the cosmic waves, media and fabric for lack of better terms? How many dimensions are there, are they engineering accessible and how many new ones are temporal? Are there new forms of energy corresponding to these new degrees of freedom? Is the speed of light gameable?”

Civil Libertarians: “How many innocent lives were ruined keeping this secret? Did we fake a lot of this?? Who authorized the lying, discrediting and possible wet work?”

NatSec: “Are we owned by an unknown force? Will it now be trivial easy for everyone to make WMD from new discoveries?”

Etc.

This is not going to stay controlled if it is at all specific. As soon as there are any specifics I guess that the game changes character instantly and goes into high gear with totally different players.

neuron trying to connect to other neurons

A neuron connecting to other neurons is the process of forming synapses, where one cell’s axon communicates with another cell’s dendrites to build networks that transmit information across the brain.

[The SCIF @TheSCIF]

Congressman Eric Burlison confirmed that the U.S. Military is in possession of an enormous UAP that's so big, the Army built a base around it because they can't move it.

This has been a rumor for years. If true, where did it come from, and whose is it?

There is an impressive book called Empire of Ants that tells us all about their way of life.

[The Figen @TheFigen_]

No other species on Earth has a teamwork system quite like ants.
This tiny creature pulls off missions far bigger than its size could ever suggest.

This is the highest quality video ever taken of the moon!

[Physics & Astronomy Zone @zone_astronomy]

To think that we aren't just going "to the Moon," but rather traveling to meet it at an exact point in space... changes everything.
​It all comes down to orbital mechanics: arriving at the precise location, at the precise moment.
​One tiny error... and it simply doesn't happen

A double pendulum is deterministic but chaotic system — fully governed by Newton’s laws, yet extremely sensitive to initial conditions.

The pronoun "their" was Miss used in the context of this utterance, most likely.

Before launching the startup they should take a course in the physics of light and circadian cycle and the damage already done to nature for overlighting at night.

I think some of the comments took it too far in regards to the physical and chemical properties of each metal featured. For a short introduction to the Metal Cube it is OK, for 6th grade science.

I just couldn’t help myself with the sounding. Yeah, it’s way contaminated, but damn it’s fun to create fantasy storms over open ocean.
