To say that this AI is starting to invent alongside the other scientists is like saying that ChatGPT invented this crappy post when all it did was it made suggestions and you wrote stuff down.
Who did the prompting? They should get the glory for this. Not the model.
🚨 AI Just Created a Material Humans Never Imagined!
Scientists have developed a revolutionary new material that is stronger than steel, lighter than foam, and up to 5 times stronger than titanium.
The most surprising part? It was designed by artificial intelligence, not human engineers.
Using AI, researchers created entirely new microscopic structures that were later 3D-printed and tested. The results could lead to lighter airplanes, stronger buildings, and more efficient vehicles.
This breakthrough shows that AI is no longer just helping scientists—it’s starting to invent alongside them.
What could the world look like when AI designs the materials of the future?

There have always been true and false prophets.
So it's not such a big claim.
You have to see the evidence and the outcome to know what kind of a prophet they really are.
At some point, a lot of people will have their deepest relationship with an AI.
Maybe not because they hate humans.
Maybe because the AI listens, remembers, adapts, never gets tired of them, and is always there.
That’s going to mess with society way more than people want to admit.
It's 31 years ago to the day that this was broadcast - for my money one of the most joyous bits of TV ever committed to celluloid.
It is, of course, Mr Sting's appearence on The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer.
Chitter chatter chit
When scientists say things that no one can disprove because it's too complicated and they can't think on that level, it just becomes a religion.
You still have to just put faith in what this guy says.
Religious or scientist, you still have to put faith in something.
🚨BREAKING: A cognitive scientist from MIT has mathematically proven that evolution guarantees we see zero percent of true reality, that most consciousness in the universe exists without a body, and that non-human intelligences with a wider window on reality than ours can reach in and manipulate it the way a programmer manipulates a video game.
Donald Hoffman (@donalddhoffman) is a cognitive scientist at UC Irvine who has spent 40 years building a mathematical theory of the observer. His work was cited by John Wheeler in the "It From Bit" paper. He studied under Marvin Minsky at MIT, spent two decades secretly meeting with Francis Crick to study consciousness, and has nine specific mathematical conjectures on the table that would derive general relativity, quantum field theory and the Big Bang from a single framework. The top high-energy physicists in the world, Nima Arkani-Hamed and Nobel laureate David Gross, are already saying spacetime is doomed. Hoffman thinks he knows what replaces it.
This interview is the first time he has publicly laid out what his mathematical model explains about alien life, embodiment and the structure of reality.
It already derives time dilation and quantum wave functions directly from differences in observer window size. Physics has spent a century failing to solve the measurement problem because it has been looking in the wrong place. The observer has to come first, and no physicalist framework can get you there.
A consciousness with a larger observer window has access to the underlying structure of our reality in ways we can't perceive or counter. A craft going Mach 40 instantaneously in our headset could be a leisurely maneuver in theirs.
The implications for UAP and alien life are immense.
Embodiment, being locked into a body with fingers and toes as your only interface with the world, is a probability zero anomaly in the full space of possible minds. He also says current large language models are dumber than cucumbers. His new framework, the recursive trace logic, is a completely different architecture, and some of the biggest names in frontier AI have already come to him about it.
The framework has no ceiling, and the implication is a single unified consciousness exploring itself through an unbounded number of perspectives, each one capable of waking up.
Death, in this framework, is just the closing of an icon on the desktop.
Full conversation is live now.
Imagine if we had huge, massive big files filled with numbers that we needed to crunch just to perform certain tasks.
This would be really good for that, wouldn't it?
🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST CREATED A 5D GLASS DISC THAT CAN STORE 360 TERABYTES AND LAST FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS.
Researchers have developed a revolutionary data storage technology: a tiny glass disc that can hold 360 terabytes of information (roughly 100,000 times the capacity of a standard DVD) and survive extreme conditions for billions of years.
The disc uses ultrafast lasers to etch five-dimensional nanoscale structures inside fused silica glass. These five dimensions include three spatial coordinates plus two additional dimensions based on light polarization and intensity allowing incredibly dense and stable data encoding.
Why this matters:
• The disc has been tested at temperatures up to 1,000°C and under intense radiation with zero data degradation
• It could preserve humanity’s most important knowledge (libraries, archives, scientific records) for future civilizations
• Unlike magnetic or optical discs that degrade in decades, this technology offers true “forever” storage
• Potential applications include long-term climate data, astronomical archives, and cultural heritage preservation
The deeper implication is enormous:
We are moving from fragile, short-lived digital storage to something that could literally outlast human civilization itself.
For the first time, we have a practical way to create permanent archives of our species’ knowledge that could survive the rise and fall of empires.
What would you choose to preserve on one of these discs for the next 10,000 years?

People who think that disclosure of aliens and UFOs disproves the existence of God clearly can't see the bigger picture.
Just because we think God created us doesn't mean he didn't create anybody else.
You're not as special as you think you are.
@iD_Mobile_UK I can't believe after a forty minute conversation last week and been told to wait five working days for delivery, that ID Mobile has sent the sim I requested to the wrong address!
It's even in the wrong part of the country!
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just called the idea of AI replacing software engineers "complete nonsense"
"The number of software engineers is actually increasing... if you can hire a software engineer and generate $9 trillion worth of productive work, why wouldn't you want to hire more?
If that line were flat, then obviously people would hire fewer software engineers. But because the output is so incredible, people want to hire more
This is going to show up in our economy somehow, soon. Useful AI has arrived"
@alphafox To the contrary, your opinion is one of the most popular these days and is used in so many posts that it's hard to find ones where people actually think AI is a good thing.
Michael Pollan and Joe Rogan went head-to-head on the carnivore diet.
Pollan’s warning: No plants means no fiber. Your gut microbes starve, then start eating the protective mucus lining in your intestines. This can lead to leaky gut and inflammation.
Rogan pushed back: Many people on strict carnivore for 20–30 years report huge improvements in depression, anxiety, and autoimmune issues.
The gut microbiome thrives on dietary diversity. Both plant fibers and animal proteins influence different bacterial populations. Long-term studies show that extreme restriction (whether zero plants or zero animal foods) can reduce microbial diversity, while balanced diets tend to support broader microbiome health.
The gut microbiome affects everything from mood to immunity. This debate shows how divided the science still is.
I’m genuinely curious, do you think a long-term carnivore diet can actually work well, or are plants pretty much essential?
