Why Are Servo Motors So Expensive

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

A new Science study shows that bumble bees can position a ball underneath a fake “flower” to reach a reward, suggesting they can exhibit spontaneous problem-solving and challenging the notion that such advanced cognitive abilities are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates.

Hold on to your rice paddies, NASA satellites are detecting a major sea-level rise across the tropical Pacific as the Super El Niño rapidly strengthens. If forecasts verify, late 2026 /2027 will see extreme floods and crops impacted. The climate system is sending another warning.

It's the economy, stupid..

[Geoffrey Lean @GeoffreyLean]

Global warming is cutting the production of phytoplankton in the North Atlantic, undermining the entire food web and limiting its ability to soak up carbon, a new study reveals. Looks serious….

@iterorg Magnificent machine, even if outpaced a bit by material science, it was the right risk to take & is awesome common-interest-driven international technology development.. Fusion will make a dent & this is an important stepping stone, THANKS (+ may future fusion become open source)

[eMPee584 (⧖) @eMPee584]

@nullctl @iterorg The purpose for ITER that was set more than two decades ago: to allow practical fusion power plant research at power plant scale, and that is what they are going to deliver well. Maybe they can do a high-temp supraconductor retrofit later & go from 500MW to a gigawatt or two 🙂✨

#Climate hell + #robot wars is the most probable outcome at this point – so let's double down on the slim chance of making the transition from #capitalism to a #commons #abundance #economy 😏✨

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Nearly 2 billion people live in the red area.

It is becoming completely uninhabitable.

What do the climate deniers, who also hate immigration, think is going to happen?

[eMPee584 (⧖) @eMPee584]

The exponential is the same, but 5% is probably more than @grok the magnitude of _the other_ most important issue: a coming wave of cheap 🤖machine labour.. and how transitioning to a #commons economy is both more urgent 🔥 and more convenient ✨than ever because of that 😏♻️

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

I don’t think even 5% of the population understands this is really happening

[Climate Watcher 🔥 @pmagn]

Ha, no kidding 🔥

Study shows thawing permafrost releases much more greenhouse gas than expected

[eMPee584 (⧖) @eMPee584]

Maybe nuclear winter will fix the problem. So in that case, don't worry about it. 🖖🫠

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

The media have treated climate scientists like random bloggers or just uneducated chancer gobs-on-sticks like they are, rather than the most educated experts in the world.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

We’re on track for 4C well before this century is done.

Sometimes, being heartbroken and outraged is the only rational response.

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

BREAKING: horrified scientists warn of ecosystem collapse with tropical insect species close to extinction and already struggling for survival as warming accelerates

Deforestation Hurts lives !! 😔😔

[HOW THINGS WORK @HowThingsWork_]

Fish delousing lasers, such as the Stingray system, are an AI-powered, non-chemical technology used in aquaculture to zap & eliminate parasitic sea lice from salmon.

[Leon Simons 🌍 @LeonSimons8]

This is what acceleration of atmospheric CO₂ increase (second order derivative) looks like.

More and more carbon sinks are turning into carbon sources.
Notably the Amazon and Boreal forests.

[Volker Quaschning @VQuaschning]

29 % mehr #Windstrom im 1. Quartal 2026!💨 Erneuerbare verdrängen teure #Erdgaskraftwerke 🔥 und senken so den #Strompreis 💶. Warum will das Wirtschaftsministerium den Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien drosseln? 🤔

[eMPee584 (⧖) @eMPee584]

Plea your US embassy to not let this happen ever again. Also, US shall not proceed with next stage of ground invasion in that illegal #epicfuckup 🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇲 war.. And may the gods and heavenly beings shower all earth with sanity & compassion over the coming holidays.. 🖖🫠 take care

Atomic veterans describe what nukes feel like

“When the flash hit you, you could see the X-rays of your hand through your closed eyes.”

“If I was looking at you now I would see all your bones, the blood vessels and everything.”

I wish we lived in a world where I didn't feel constantly compelled to post this video, but until then here's Tony Benn speaking on war with clarity and moral conviction that you won't see from the evil people running the world today

[eMPee584 (⧖) @eMPee584]

As the tsunami of cheap machine labor is visible on the horizon, we urgently need to work on coming up with different ways of organizing the global economy. Fortunately, this also is the biggest opportunity ever to overcome all the side effects of the current money-based system..

[Chioma Amadi @Chioma__Amadi]

Here’s a summary for everyone who could not read to the end:

1. Most people underestimate AI because they’re judging it by outdated 2023 versions.

2. Frontier AI models in 2026 demonstrate real judgment, reasoning, and autonomy.

3. AI progress has entered a self-improving phase, especially through coding capabilities.

4. Models are now meaningfully contributing to building and refining newer AI systems.

5. AI task performance is accelerating on a compounding, exponential curve.

6. Systems can already complete multi-hour expert-level tasks independently.

7. Day-long, week-long, and eventually month-long autonomous projects are approaching quickly.

8. Many industry leaders believe AI will surpass most humans at most cognitive tasks within 1–2 years.

9. Entry-level white-collar roles are especially vulnerable to rapid displacement.

10. Fields like software, law, finance, writing, marketing, and customer service are already being reshaped.

11. No purely screen-based knowledge job is safe in the medium term.

12. The biggest risk is denial or delayed adaptation.

13. Immediate daily experimentation with top AI tools creates a massive advantage.

14. Building savings and reducing debt is crucial to prepare for disruption.

15. The future holds both extraordinary abundance and serious inequality risks.

In essence: AI is advancing faster than most people realize, and those who act now will be far better positioned than those who wait.
