AGI Just Arrived, And We Didn’t Notice!

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) may have been achieved with recent AI models, marking a significant shift in AI capabilities that could revolutionize industries and potentially make human cognitive labor obsolete ## Questions to inspire discussion.

Getting Started with AI Agents.

🤖 Q: How can I start using Claude Opus 4.5 for autonomous coding overnight?

A: Use the Ralph Wigum harness (open-source scaffolding tool) that wraps around Claude Opus 4.5, requiring only basic setup knowledge to enable the AI to autonomously develop code while you sleep, with a simplified user interface expected to launch soon that will make setup even easier.

Understanding Current AGI Capabilities.

🎯 Q: What does AGI arrival actually mean for my work bottlenecks?

Navigating the Deep Tech Industrial Revolution

Podcast with Chuck Brooks, Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University and President of Brooks Consulting International — Quantum Computing Report.

Overview In this episode of The Quantum Spin by HKA, host Veronica Combs discusses the intersections of quantum technology and cybersecurity with Chuck Brooks, an adjunct professor at Georgetown University and the president of Brooks Consulting International. Chuck discusses how the evolution of technology, particularly AI and quantum computing, has dramatically transformed cybersecurity. The conversation also touches on the role of CISOs, the integration of new technologies, and the importance of ongoing education and adaptation in the face of rapidly changing technologies. 00:00 Introduction to Quantum Spin Podcast00:34 Guest Introduction: Chuck Brooks00:46 Chuck Brooks’ Career […].

AI Model for Imaging-Based Extranodal Extension Detection in Human HPV-Positive Oropharyngeal Cancer

An AI-powered pipeline accurately classified imaging-based extranodal extension from CT scans in HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma and predicted worse oncologic outcomes, outperforming expert radiologist assessment and offering a promising prognostic tool for clinical decision-making.

Question Can an artificial intelligence (AI)−driven model predict imaging-based extranodal extension (iENE) and oncologic outcomes from pretreatment computed tomography scans of patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)−positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC)?

Findings In this single-center cohort study of 397 patients with HPV-positive cN+ OPSCC, an automated pipeline integrating lymph node segmentation and iENE classification achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.81. AI-predicted iENE was significantly associated with worse distant failure, recurrence-free survival, and overall survival, and outperformed expert radiologist assessment.

Meaning These findings suggest that automated iENE detection using AI models may offer a powerful prognostic tool to complement clinical decision-making in HPV-positive OPSCC and extend iENE interpretation capabilities to centers that lack specialized radiologists.

Discrimination of normal from slow-aging mice by plasma metabolomic and proteomic features

Tests that can predict whether a drug is likely to extend mouse lifespan could speed up the search for anti-aging drugs. We have applied a machine learning algorithm, XGBoost regression, to seek sets of plasma metabolites (n = 12,000) and peptides (n = 17,000) that can discriminate control mice from mice treated with one of five anti-aging interventions (n = 278 mice). When the model is trained on any four of these five interventions, it predicts significantly higher lifespan extension in mice exposed to the intervention which was not included in the training set. Plasma peptide data sets also succeed at this task. Models trained on drug-treated normal mice also discriminate long-lived mutant mice from their respective controls, and models trained on males can discriminate drug-treated from control females.

Cybercab Game Changers Tesla & Elon Kept Under Wraps

Questions to inspire discussion.

Design & Manufacturing Innovation.

🔧 Q: Why were conventional door locks added despite weight concerns? A: Conventional door locks on frameless doors were likely required for global market compliance, though positioning locks closer to the pivot point reduces the work required compared to weight at the door’s end.

Tire Optimization for Taxi Operations.

🛞 Q: What tire specifications optimize Cybercab for taxi service? A: 20–22 inch tires with thicker sidewalls provide smoother ride at lower speeds typical of taxi use, require less frequent changes, and achieve 6–7 miles per kilowatt hour efficiency through reduced rolling resistance.
