THIS THING COMING AT YOU

Duke University had developed Argus, a 20-legged robot equipped with a camera on each leg, drawing inspiration from the visual system of the sea urchin.

i'm obsessed with what's happening in AI reforestation right now

this Franco-Brazilian startup called MORFO took a patch of land in Brazil that was rock-hard and compacted from years of cattle farming. they replanted it using a single drone. months later the ground was covered in grass, bushes, and small trees. the land came back to life.

here's how the whole thing works.

1. drones scan the terrain with high-resolution cameras and sensors
2. AI analyzes the imagery alongside soil samples, moisture levels, slope, and surrounding vegetation
3. the system picks from a catalog of 300+ native species, deciding exactly which plants will thrive in which specific spot
4. the drone fires biodegradable seed pods packed with seeds, nutrients, and moisture at 180 capsules per minute
5. satellite and drone imagery monitors regrowth over time, with AI tracking vegetation cover and biodiversity
6. two people and one drone cover 50 hectares a day. a person planting by hand manages about one hectare.

and MORFO isn't alone. AirSeed in Australia drops 250,000 seed pods per day into bushfire-scarred koala habitat, replanting swamp mahogany that koalas depend on to survive. Flash Forest in Canada fires 50,000 pods daily into wildfire-destroyed boreal forest, planning the replanting alongside Cree Indigenous communities. re-green won Prince William's Earthshot Prize after planting 6 million seedlings across 30,000 hectares of Amazon and Atlantic Forest.

five companies across four continents built this same approach independently. nobody coordinated. the physics of the problem demanded it.

knowing which seeds belong in which soil used to require years of ecological fieldwork, manual planting crews, and budgets that made large-scale restoration nearly impossible. now two people with a drone and an AI model trained on local soil data can replant 50 hectares before lunch.

this is the AI work that'll still matter in 50 years.

yo te lo explico tranquilo

no creo en conspiraciones de las élites en Davos planeando amargarnos el desayuno. soy más de navaja de hanlon y de emergencia sistémica: tenemos un sistema burocrático que ha alcanzado tal nivel de disfuncionalidad orgánica que solo sabe generar micro-fricciones para justificar su propia existencia

pero lo que de verdad da vértigo es el mensaje subyacente. el tapón atado es la materialización del nanny state. es el Estado asumiendo por defecto que eres retrasado

en lugar de sostener una 'high-trust society' basada en la libertad individual, la educación y la responsabilidad, el sistema claudica. y claudica porque sabe
perfectamente que esa cohesión cívica está rota. Y está rota en gran parte, porque llevamos años diluyendo la población con gente que ha sido educada fuera de nuestros estándares cívicos y de convivencia

como el Estado asume que ya no puede confiar en que tires el puto tapón a la papelera por civismo, te lo ancla físicamente a la botella. te trata como a un niño de tres años con un vaso antigoteo. el sistema te impone una restricción mecánica a ti porque ha fracasado en su tarea de mantener un estándar civilizatorio en la población general

y no solo te lo impone, sino que encima lo hace mal y de forma estúpida

me llena de una pena inmensa ver cómo la gente no solo traga con esta basura, sino que encima se enorgullece de defenderla

nos estamos acostumbrando a asimilar la decadencia. nos acostumbramos a tolerar la estupidez en lo pequeño, el tapón que estorba, la pajita que de cartón que se deshace, el termostato capado por decreto en plena ola de calor causando pérdidas mayores que las que pretenden mitigar

el problema es que cuando tu cerebro asimila que es "normal" que los objetos cotidianos dejen de cumplir su función básica, terminas asumiendo como "normal" que la red de Cercanías se caiga a trozos cada martes, que esperes meses para que te atienda un especialista o que te confisquen medio sueldo para recibir servicios del tercer mundo

si toleras y justificas que te traten como a un inútil incapaz de reciclar un trozo de plástico, acabarás tragando con la incompetencia absoluta de las
instituciones en todo lo demás

el colapso de la democracia liberal no llega con una explosión ni con tanques en las calles. llega el día en que la población se convence a sí misma de que es normal beber de una pajita de cartón

High performance in Spain is fueled by serotonin and oxytocin over adrenaline and cortisol. Latter can give short bursts spikes at high cost. Former wins long term. Pixar in the US has a very “spanish” culture in many ways. Spaniards usually thrive there.

Let me explain why an AI art company just built a full-body medical scanner, because almost everyone is reading this as a random pivot.

Ultrasonic CT works by firing sound through your body and recording the ripples that scatter back. Half a million emitters the size of a grain of sand, surrounding you in water, each one listening. What comes back is noise. Reconstructing a clean 3D image of muscle and tissue from that scattered acoustic mess is an inverse problem, and it is brutally hard. The hardware is the easy part. Butterfly Network already makes the chips. The reconstruction is where every previous attempt stalled.

That reconstruction is the exact problem Midjourney spent years getting good at. Turning ambiguous input into a coherent image is what they do. They aimed it at sound waves instead of text prompts.

This is why the scan takes 60 seconds while a full-body MRI takes 60 to 90 minutes. Close to 100x faster, no radiation, no magnets, resolution down to a fraction of a millimeter.

Then read the part most people skipped. The scans happen at a spa. Hot tubs, cold plunges, and a machine that quietly images your whole body while you relax. The scan is a side effect. You barely notice it.

Run it forward. The plan is 50,000 machines doing a billion scans every month. Midjourney has no investors and no quarterly hardware margin to chase. The payoff was never the scan fee.

A billion monthly full-body scans is the largest longitudinal map of human anatomy ever assembled. Every model trained on it gets sharper, and every sharper model makes the next scan worth more. This was always an image company. They just found a kind of image nobody else could generate.

"You can just do things"

[Kydo @0xkydo]

🤯 Midjourney -- yes, the AI image company -- just shipped a brand new type of imaging machine. 🤯

- 100x faster than an MRI.
- 10x cheaper.

Full body scanned in 60 seconds instead of an hour in a tube. Ultrasound based, MRI-level resolution.

And it's real -- not a concept, a working machine. You step into a shallow pool of warm water, a ring of half a million sensors sends sound through your body from every angle, and ~60 seconds later you have a 3D map of your insides down to a fraction of a millimeter. No radiation, no tube, no lying still.

They're not even building it as a hospital machine -- they're building a spa. The scan is a side-effect of a place you'd want to hang out anyway.

Lastly, it is built by 9 people. NINE PEOPLE.

You can just do things.

Mid journey unveils the future of medical scanning:

"Less than a dozen of these machines operating together at full speed can do more full body scans than every MRI machine together on Earth. Our goal is to build a fleet of 50,000 of these scanners, capable together of doing a billion scans a month—enough to bring full body imaging to everyone on Earth."

Using thousands of specialized transducers, this prototype system shoots ultra-precise sound waves through the body at over 1,400 meters per second. As these sonic vibrations echo back, they are captured in data streams of 17 gigabytes per second, measuring changes finer than the width of an atom. A massive 2-petaflop compute ring then merges these thousands of sub-images to map out a highly detailed, 3D internal anatomy of organs and tissues in just 60 seconds.

"This is a new kind of infrastructure. It’s Full Body Ultrasonic Computational Tomography. No such device has ever been built until now, and yeah, we’re calling it the Midjourney Scanner."

My favorite quote from David, was that they want this to be a feel like a genuinely “nice” experience, not a “going to the doctor experience” they’re going to put these inside mid journey spas!

Regenerar una médula espinal parecía imposible hace una década. Que la clave esté en una proteína de la placenta dice mucho de hacia dónde va la medicina: menos prótesis y más reprogramar al propio cuerpo para que se repare solo. Habrá que seguir esto muy de cerca.

Mientras medio mundo discute si creer sirve para algo, Barcelona acaba de inaugurar una torre de 172 metros construida precisamente porque alguien creyó. Gaudí apostó su vida a esa idea. Y hoy, cuando León XIV insiste en que el cristianismo no está para refugiarse del mundo sino para transformarlo, la Torre de Jesucristo emerge sobre el perfil de la ciudad como una provocación. Contra el cinismo. Contra la resignación. Contra la idea de que la fe es cosa del pasado. Quizá por eso produce tanta alegría verla ahí arriba: porque recuerda que hay sueños que sobreviven a quienes los sueñan.
