Neutral monism and it’s relation to information physics.
If information is “the relational glue that holds reality together,” the mind–body problem can be reframed in a more satisfactory way.
Humanity will change. Or be replaced. Or go extinct. An exploration of the many potential posthuman offspring of humankind, from the biological to the artificial.

What do you imagine when I say the future of human evolution?
A superbeing with powers beyond comprehension? A mutated oddity far removed from our idea of humanity? Or perhaps nothing but decaying remains left in the wake of our extinction?
Scientists and sci-fi authors have long speculated on what our future selves will look like — and as technology advances, our species might evolve much faster than natural selection would typically allow. So, for this entry into the archive, we’ll explore posthuman scenarios from the absurd to the frighteningly plausible — and meet the many possible successors to humankind…
Study showed new threat in the digital age–AI’s ability to predict political orientation from even naturalistic images of individuals.
According to MG Motor, the EXE181 can reach a top speed of 257 mph. It accelerates 0-62mph in 1.91 seconds and features a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.181.
A new biomarker test successfully predicted the early onset of knee osteoarthritis years ahead of noticeable signs.
Researchers at Vector Atomic have developed a revolutionary new atomic clock that boasts both exceptional precision and remarkable portability. Unlike its bulky lab-bound predecessors, this innovative clock utilizes oscillating iodine molecules and is remarkably compact, roughly the size of three shoeboxes and weighing only 26 kilograms. This makes it a perfect fit for deployment on virtually any ship.
The true marvel lies in the clock’s accuracy. Vector Atomic claims it surpasses the performance of existing shipboard clocks by a staggering 1,000 times. This translates to significantly improved positioning capabilities, potentially reducing errors to mere centimeters.
This new generative AI model represents a significant advancement in the realm of AI. The model functions as a hybrid, integrating both transformer and recurrent neural network architectures. Additionally, it has been trained on a diverse dataset of over 10 billion tokens from multiple languages and sources.
PR Newswire reported that SenseNova 5.0 underwent over 10TB of token training, covering a large amount of synthetic data.
A Slovakian aviation firm has completed the world’s first passenger flight with a flying car.
Klein Vision achieved this milestone with its AirCar, which carried French electronic musician Jean-Michel Jarre as a passenger. The test was held on an airport runway in Slovakia.
In a video put out by the firm, the winged sportscar is seen zooming down the runway on four wheels before all of a sudden becoming airborne and ascending into the sky. A few minutes in, it lands back safely with Jaree and a pilot aboard.
The world’s first artificial energy island is being built off the coast of Belgium and will serve as future interconnector between countries as well.
Traditional AUVs rely on thrusters or pumps to adjust depth, which consumes considerable energy and generates noise. Team BayMax’s design replaces this system with a BCD that employs reversible hydrogen fuel cells. By splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen gases, the BCD can precisely control the ROV’s buoyancy, mimicking the swim bladders found in fish.
This approach offers many advantages. “The cool thing about this for us is that it’s cutting-edge technology,” remarked Bare. We’re the first to implement it in a device with such comprehensive controls, making it truly groundbreaking.”
Professor Ghorbel echoed Bare’s enthusiasm, highlighting the technology’s vast potential. “This highly energy-efficient and silent system has applications beyond AUVs,” he explained. “It holds promise for material intelligence, wearable assistive devices, and even adaptive robotic garments.”
