🚨Someone just open sourced a computer that works when the entire internet goes down.
It's called Project N.O.M.A.D.
A self-contained offline survival server with AI, Wikipedia, maps, medical references, and full education courses.
No internet. No cloud. No subscription. It just works.
Here's what's packed inside:
→ A local AI assistant powered by Ollama (works fully offline)
→ All of Wikipedia, downloadable and searchable
→ Offline maps of any region you choose
→ Medical references and survival guides
→ Full Khan Academy courses with progress tracking
→ Encryption and data analysis tools via CyberChef
→ Document upload with semantic search (local RAG)
Here's the wildest part:
A solar panel, a battery, a mini PC, and a WiFi access point. That's it. That's your entire off-grid knowledge station. 15 to 65 watts of power. Works from a cabin, an RV, a sailboat, or a bunker.
Companies sell "prepper drives" with static PDFs for $185. This gives you a full AI brain, an entire encyclopedia, and real courses for free.
One command to install.

god i didn’t think ai would kill entire industries this fast
- claude code is killing SaaS companies, stocks are down -15-30% over last 2 months.
- google genie is killing gaming companies, stocks tanked -15% since public release last week
- video models like kling, veo3 and higgsfield are replacing human content creators - it’s so bad the SAG is creating a new tax for ai influencers to donate to a human actor union fund.
- fortune 500 companies are pulling multi-million dollar software contracts and replacing them with agent platforms
- Oai, anthropic are aggressively partnering with science institutes and launching health features to automate the entire health industry (medical care, pharma, research are worth trillions)
- GPT 5.2 & gemini are solving unsolved problems in mathematics - what’s a math degree worth if an AI can solve complex shit 24/7?
but that’s not even the craziest part
“codex is now building itself, we just supervise” - Tibo (openai codex lead)
anthropic team has said the same about claude - it self-improves.
we’ve reached a point where ai models aren’t just automating away major industries - they’re doing it to THEMSELVES too
the acceleration of human and artificial cognition will come down to an equation of compute, energy and silicon chips
what a total mind fuck
I just love it! Made with VEO3 fast. I asked VEO to create a Tomorrowland-like concert using special effects available at the time. This is the best of many other also good videos. Can't wait till I am allowed to extend scenes with audio in Flow! #Veo3#DJC_in_da_house
This might be the most fun I've ever had creating a video – and it's 100% because of Veo3.
Forget fidelity and physics for a second. The real game-changer? Being able to generate dialogue right in the text prompt. What used to take two extra steps now happens instantly — and the quality? Unreal.
I started with this simple concept of a plastic kid, but as I kept generating, the story got unexpectedly emotional. I found myself genuinely sympathizing with this character being left out – such a universal feeling. The story could've gone anywhere… What was I trying to say? What was the message?
Eventually, I decided: I wanted the process to reflect the joy of creating. I was having too much fun to let it get dark, so I went full meta to pull myself out.
The office scenes were pure magic. Those one-liners? First try, usable footage. I literally just typed the dialogue and Veo3 delivered. (Pro tip: text-to-video nails the lip sync, but image-to-video struggles with dialogue – had to use Pixverse for that final conversation scene to keep character consistency.)
I was in full stream-of-consciousness mode for the office stuff, not sweating the details. You can tell because nothing in the background matches 😅
For high-stakes work like what we do at @promise_ai (where we're aiming for theatrical release), every detail matters. But for a weekend passion project? This speed + quality combo is unreal.
Imagine using this for pre-viz on bigger projects! Just warning – clients might fall in love with the rough cut 😂. You might accidentally make something too good to throw away.
Massive respect to the Veo3 team at @GoogleDeepMind Thanks for making tools that help us tell stories — even the ridiculous ones.
@SebastienPage I think we are missing the Steve Jobs ways. He would kill anyone leaking out confidential info with his bare hands and he was a true genius being way ahead of competition and throwing the most passionate presentations of a product the world has seen
@kirkouimet@daniel_bilar@CraigGidney@ID_AA_Carmack@kirkouimet I just read your conversations with the AI and I can’t even work! Mind blowing. I can’t wait to put my hands on it. I’ll be installing GPT2 on my MAC next week while I find a way to interact with v3. Have you tried GPT2? Is it even worth a try? Ty

Believe it or not, but back in the 90s, we had to fiddle with all kinds of different connectors to hook up peripherals to our machines... PS/2, Centronics, RS232C, oh my! Of course today, thanks to the wonders of standardization, it's a thing of the past.
China se gastará 1.500 millones de dólares en el parque de #RealidadVirtual y #CienciaFicción más grande del mundo. Llevará por nombre 'Oriental Science Fiction Valley', estará ubicado en la ciudad de Guiyang y tendrá una extensión de 134 hectareas.
