Today, we’re diving into how the 2004 reboot of Battlestar Galactica didn’t just serve up emotionally broken pilots and sexy robots—it predicted our entire streaming surveillance nightmare. From Cylons with download-ready consciousness to humans drowning in misinformation, BSG basically handed us a roadmap to 2025… and we thanked it with fan theories and Funko Pops.
🔎 Surveillance culture? Check. 👤 Digital identity crises? Double check. 🤯 Manufactured realities? Oh, we’re way past that.
Turns out, the Cylons didn’t need to invade Earth. We became them—scrolling, uploading, and streaming our humanity away one click at a time.
So join me as we break it all down and honor the sci-fi series that turned out to be way more documentary than dystopia.

Our current AI systems may one day evolve into a superintelligent entity, but scientists aren’t yet certain what this might look like and what the implications are.
New research led by Imperial College London and co-authored by the University of Bristol, has revealed that aerial robotics could provide wide-ranging benefits to the safety, sustainability and scale of construction.
The research examines the emerging field of using drones for mid-air material deposition in the construction industry —a process known as Aerial Additive Manufacturing (Aerial AM).
This technology addresses pressing global housing and infrastructure challenges using aerial robots equipped with advanced manipulators that can overcome the limitations of traditional construction methods and ground-based robotic systems.
A landmark international collaboration led by Newcastle University has developed the world’s most efficient integrated light-harvesting and storage system for powering autonomous Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the edge of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Huawei has approached some Chinese tech companies about testing a new chip, called the Ascend 910D, which it hopes will be more powerful than Nvidia’s H100, The Wall Street Journal reported.
MIT engineers developed a technique to grow and peel ultrathin “skins” of electronic material that could be used in applications such as night-vision eyewear and autonomous driving in foggy conditions.
Surgical robots can assist in medical procedures or autonomously perform surgical tasks. This Review explores the design and application of passive, interactive, teleoperated and autonomous surgical robots within the framework of computer-assisted and integrated surgical workflows.
