This movie answered that nagging feeling in my gut that something was just not quite right. Watch it if you want to understand the issues going on today in the Nation, and across the globe.
Dear @Google:
Wife has a Fitbit. It appears you now own the smartphone app (“Google Health”) that “talks” to it to keep it synced and she is now being forced to create a Google account to use that. We have been on the iPhone since iPhone 3 and will never use Android as a daily carry. I have an Android for work and have experienced it firsthand.
For her to use the app, as mentioned, I had to create a gmail account just for this one app. The integration via the embedded browser your app uses fails in doing basic operations such as when you tap the next button to create the account - it just sits there (tried on WiFi and cellular).
I opened Chrome on the same phone and created her account (go figure). I then set Chrome as the default browser so that the embedded browser window in the app would be yours and not Safari. Now when I try to sign into the newly created account in the app that’s using your browser to move her data over and get it set up, the app never proceeds beyond the screen to enter the gmail account. It has other buggy quirks too, but whatever.
I am willing to bet your developers used AI to create the “Google Health” app. It’s absolute garbage, and you likely don’t give a damn because it’s an iPhone related “React native” piece of junk.
End of rant, have a nice quarter.
@bestofStarTrek The twisted and shocking ending to Star Trek: Enterprise when you finally realize the food prepared by the Chef was more than a special Captain’s dinner. It felt utterly surreal and a deep sense of loss.
🚨 AI JUST DESIGNED A MATERIAL STRONGER THAN STEEL, LIGHTER THAN FOAM AND UP TO 5× STRONGER THAN TITANIUM.
Researchers used machine learning to discover entirely new microscopic lattice structures that were then 3D-printed into carbon nanolattices.
The result is a mechanical metamaterial that combines properties previously thought to be impossible together: extreme strength with ultra-low weight.
Why this matters:
• Aerospace and automotive industries could build dramatically lighter vehicles and aircraft without sacrificing strength
• Construction and infrastructure could use stronger, lighter components
• Medical implants and protective gear could become both tougher and more comfortable
• It proves AI can now design physical matter at the structural level exploring geometries no human engineer would have thought of
The deeper implication is huge:
We are moving from discovering materials that already exist in nature… to inventing entirely new classes of matter with properties we specify.
AI isn’t just writing code or generating images anymore. It’s helping us build the physical world from the inside out.
What industry do you think will be transformed first by these AI-designed super-materials?
