Quantum levitation and quantum locking are a consequence of the Meissner effect and allow superconductor to glide freely over a track of magnets. [📹 fullspectrumtourjp] [📍 Experiment Museum in Yamanashi]

In the 1960s, MIT Professor Jay Forrester created something that changed the way we think about supply chains—The Beer Game. This game is a simple simulation, but it messed with the minds of thousands. Here's the game:

Algorithm tweak coming soon to promote more informational/entertaining content. We will publish the changes to @engineering. Our goal is to maximize unregretted user-seconds. Too much negativity is being pushed that technically grows user time, but not unregretted user time.

By allowing AI to determine what qualifies as “negative” or “positive,” we risk surrendering our own perspective. Furthermore, only those who can afford an “identifier” will have their voices heard, which feels disturbingly Orwellian.

This is the Teotihuacan pyramid of the Sun before the excavations at the beginning of the XX century vs now. A simple hill covered by bushes and trees.

Located in Brno, Czechia, this is a waterfall clock. The amount of every line of water is controlled by a computer. By controlling the length of the lines, pictures and numbers are shown in the air. [📹 Tatyana Havrylchyk] teapawt.net/i/status/1824923755870…

Psittacines (parrots, macaws, and cockatoos) are often considered the most intelligent animals in general. Among the other things, they can learn 500 human words, entire sequences of actions, classify objects, and solve puzzles.

Just had a fascinating lunch with a 22-year-old Stanford grad. Smart kid. Perfect resume. Something felt off though. He kept pausing mid-sentence, searching for words. Not complex words - basic ones. Like his brain was buffering. Finally asked if he was okay. His response floored me. "Sometimes I forget words now. I'm so used to having ChatGPT complete my thoughts that when it's not there, my brain feels... slower." He'd been using AI for everything. Writing, thinking, communication. It had become his external brain. And now his internal one was getting weaker. Made me think about calculators. Remember how teachers said we needed to learn math because "you won't always have a calculator"? They were wrong about that. But maybe they were right about something deeper. We're running the first large-scale experiment on human cognition. What happens when an entire generation outsources their thinking? Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond excited about what AI and AI agents will do for people in the same way that I was excited in 2009 when the App Store was launched. But thinking out loud you got to think this guy I met with isn't the onnnnnly one that's going to be completely dependent on AI.
