Rumors of Agi 2025 runnin wild.
Screen Cap It!
Late last year, around the time ChatGPT became a global sensation, the engineers at OpenAI began working on a new artificial intelligence model, codenamed Arrakis.

Summary: Scientists have successfully determined the genomic composition of octopuses, unveiling a whopping 2.8 billion base pairs across 30 chromosomes. This was a result of comprehensive, computer-assisted genome studies and comparisons with other cephalopod species.
This high-quality reference sequence paves the way for understanding octopus biology and tracing its evolutionary trajectory.
The findings, which shine a light on the dynamic evolutionary history of the octopus genome, will enrich research in neurobiology, behavior, and development.
Eventually, maybe by the early 2040s, would like to see every large body in solar system, from the Sun out to Pluto to have a probe like the Cassini probe in a permanent orbit around it. So we have 24/7 live feed / study of all of them. And, ASI could run all of it by that point.

University of Otago physicists have used a small glass bulb containing an atomic vapor to demonstrate a new form of antenna for radio waves. The bulb was “wired up” with laser beams and could therefore be placed far from any receiver electronics.
Dr. Susi Otto, from the Dodd-Walls Center for Photonic and Quantum Technologies, led the field testing of the portable atomic radio frequency sensor. A paper on the creation was published in Applied Physics Letters.
Such sensors, that are enabled by atoms in a so-called Rydberg state, can provide superior performance over current antenna technologies as they are highly sensitive, have broad tunability, and small physical size, making them attractive for use in defense and communications.
Astronomers are one step closer to understanding one of the most enduring solar mysteries, having captured unprecedented data from the sun’s magnetic field.
The groundbreaking data collected from the US National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Daniel K Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) in Hawaii—the most powerful solar telescope in the world—has provided the most detailed representations to date of the magnetic field of the so-called ‘quiet’ surface of the sun.
An international team of scientists, including researchers from the University of Sheffield, believe the data has implications for how we model energy transfer between the layers of the sun. The research has been published in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

A new Tesla Megapack has been installed at a water treatment plant in San Luis Obispo, California, according to a new report.
The City of San Luis Obispo installed a Tesla Megapack energy storage unit at its water treatment facility, as reported by Paso Robles Daily on Monday. The battery is part of the city’s commitment to “leading by example in climate action work” and its initiative to reach carbon neutrality on city operations by 2030.
“The installation of the Tesla battery system at our water treatment plant is a testament to our city’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and resilience. I’m proud of the work our team has done to make this vision a reality,” said City Utilities Director Aaron Floyd.
Summary: A new study illuminates the profound depth and adaptability embedded within Indigenous interpretations of consciousness, offering fresh perspectives and adaptive solutions for contemporary scientific discourse.
Instead of adhering to a singular, individualistic viewpoint, Indigenous concepts of consciousness often intertwine with environmental, relational, and spiritual facets, providing a holistic perspective that balances individual and global consciousness.
The study emphasizes that embracing this ancient wisdom could forge pathways toward a more inclusive, interconnected scientific understanding of consciousness, merging the physical and metaphysical. The findings not only promote cross-cultural appreciation but also underscore the vital necessity of preserving and respecting Indigenous knowledge systems.
