The boundaries between physical and digital presence continue to blur. Meta's Hyperscape, initially launched as a photorealistic capture and viewing tool, has evolved into a platform for social interaction. The recent addition of multiplayer capabilities represents a significant expansion of its original solo-experience design, now enabling users to
The last tyrannosaurs walked through lush Cretaceous forests, unaware that cosmic dice had already been thrown. Millions of years later, we're building artificial minds on foundations that may be quietly crumbling beneath us. The parallel isn't perfect—no asteroid threatens our data centers—but the pattern
A recent United Airlines flight over Utah experienced something extraordinary—an unknown object (possibly a fragment of space debris or a meteor) struck the aircraft’s windscreen during flight. While passengers remained safe, the incident marked a significant moment by turning space debris from a theoretical concern into an immediate
The mathematics of sound manipulation has always fascinated me—how a simple Fourier transform can decompose a human voice into frequencies, and how those frequencies, once understood, can be reconstructed into something entirely artificial yet eerily authentic. This technical capability became starkly apparent when OpenAI paused AI-generated depictions of Martin
The mathematics of orbital mechanics are elegant—Kepler's laws describe perfect ellipses, Newton's equations predict trajectories with clockwork precision. But the reality above our heads resembles less a celestial ballet and more a high-speed demolition derby. Every satellite we launch, every rocket body we abandon, every
The mathematical elegance of a DJ's work has always fascinated me—the precise timing of transitions, the harmonic relationships between tracks, the algorithmic patterns of building and releasing tension. Now YouTube Music is testing something that would have made Xenakis smile: AI-generated radio hosts that don't
The numbers alone tell the story. Nvidia and OpenAI are planning a $100 billion infrastructure alliance that would deploy 10 gigawatts of computing power across multiple data centers. To put this in perspective, 10 gigawatts could power roughly 7.5 million homes. Instead, it will train and run artificial intelligence
