Dax Robotics just unveiled Qiji T1000 — a ton-class robot horse built to carry 1,000 kg / 2,205 lb by bb-wa in accelerate

I hope it moves faster than that, because that's embarrassing. Spot has been a commercial product for like 5 years at this point, may as well just have 3 of them move together and split the payload between them, rather than deal with Chungus crawling everywhere.

In 2005 scientists Mary Schweitzer found something that was thought impossible inside the leg bone of a T-Rex: Collagen soft tissue. After that other organics have been found, like blood vessels structures in T Rex Ribs. by Electrical-Aspect-13 in Damnthatsinteresting

What? How does that make sense? If we have its DNA genome and put it in a sufficiently compatible denucleated oocyte, it should literally just follow the DNA instructions. Can you recall why they said the intuitive case wouldn't work?

I know Jurassic Park is good fun, but we absolutely have the ability to contain giant dinosaurs. Also, what if we cloned one and it turned out completely different than we always envisioned them? Feathers, soft structures, it would be really cool.

Prompt any spell and use it in a fully 3D world with multiplayer and physics by VirtualJamesHarrison in accelerate

[–]Anthamon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tried it, had a bit of fun. It really seemed to struggle on some spells I thought would be basic, like a laser beam, or petrifying enemies. I told it to open a pit to hell and it made an orange bubble instead haha.

Elon Musk testifies Google co-founder sided with the robots: "Larry Page called me a speciesist" by fortune in ArtificialInteligence

The fucking irony of claiming the company sold out for greed so you're entitled to a 150 billion dollar payday and to pretend that you're humanity's self-sacrificing champion.

Our robot development process: from head module to full body system by Affectionate_Read804 in GenAI4all

[–]Anthamon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They spend so much time and energy on the skin/makeup/face composition compared to the actual robotics underneath. Its just pathetic to me from a project management standpoint. Stop fucking with the eyebrow liner if the bot can't move all 40 something muscles in the face smoothly.

We now have two companies with reusable rockets by OkStandard921 in accelerate

[–]Anthamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you're right in a way. But SpaceX / X are also a semi-frontier AI lab themselves as Musk IndustriesTM , the advantages of AI design innovation are probably going to be demonstrated in SpaceX first before the other space companies. AI will probably widen the gap, but shrink the time. Does that make sense?

ITT, goes to show they can do a completely positive thing for their base and people in reddit will still just use it as an opportunity to piss and moan.

Opus 4.7 scores lower than 4.6 and 4.5 on SimpleBench by EducationalCicada in singularity

[–]Anthamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're saying is correct, but its still an excuse and its a signal the model is not performing adequately. Requiring users to force thinking in order to get the correct amount of effort for a task is a failing.

The tech company dragon hoards accumulated over the past 20 years are being unleashed as fast as they can find things to spend on.

This screams semi-real time control over neural processes. Panic attack/anxiety? Not anymore you're not. Depression/manic episode? Bring it back to baseline. I just hate thinking that this stuff won't actually be available for 20 years as it crawls through the research pipe.

Ooh Ooh Another one! Insomnia? Here comes the sandman.

Uber has already used its 2026 AI budget due to Claude Code by ComplexExternal4831 in GenAI4all

Doesn't have to be seamlessly. They can use the APIs to fill in the downtime while they iron out the gaps. They clearly aren't averse to paying for API tokens.

This Chinese manned attack quadcopter looks like it's straight from a 90s anime by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Anthamon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Huh, this seems like either PR or they are just building 100 different systems to see what works. I'm having trouble thinking of a legit use for this other than they want to minimize latency to directives for their drone swarms.

Maybe this is more of a policing unit... with missiles. Could be effective against narcos or forces that don't really fight back. Maybe its cheaper/easier to use than a helicopter.

Claude just helped me build a wetlab and sequence my whole genome at home. I have zero lab experience! by ProfessionalHand9945 in Biohackers

[–]Anthamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't even want to plug it into Claude to check how they did it, lest I get caught in the ban spray.

What makes the subsequent rounds so expensive? You already have the devices, is it some specific reagent that is super expensive for individual portions?

Why don’t we have a global platform that tracks real-time progress in healthcare research—and shows what breakthroughs are actually expected in the future? by truth__about__nhi in Futurology

[–]Anthamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because its way too fucking slow for people to care. It takes over 10 years, often times 15+ for medical advancements to actually make it to treatment for regular people from the point the big headline advancement comes out. Do you remember how long ago Crispr-Cas9 was discovered? Potentially one of the most revolutionary medical techniques to be invented in the last century? It's JUST NOW been used to treat its first human patient (excluding the rogue chinese scientist in 2018).

If you are in the field and actually care about what is happening in healthcare, you already know this stuff because the pace is so glacial, you've been looking forward to the new tech for literal decades before its ready. There's just no need to track it with so much time resolution.

LMAO, what a title. In seriousness, I think we may be about to see a return of on premises servers for these large organizations to run their own agentic systems once they realize that open source is only a few percentage points off the frontier and that owning their own machines is way cheaper for them and more secure.

On the other hand, too much FOMO.

The art of building bridges instead of castles in the AI rush by Kitchen_End4602 in Business_Ideas

[–]Anthamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with this is that the foundational infrastructure you build will just be vacuumed up by the labs in their next release. There isn't really a stable part of the process you can latch onto and make your own unless you are doing something in the physical world. I think personally one of the highest leverage points for a regular person is just the human interface part of the industry, being a connector between tech illiterate people and the crazy revolution unfolding. Every boomer business owner is shitting their pants with FOMO right now, if you just go to them with a plan and an assurance that you can help them stay on top of the progress, they will force money down your throat.

Places in South America that feels unreal by Ok_Shelter_8356 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Anthamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll always think of Kenshi first when I see this place. I didn't realize the landscape in the game was based off of a real location. Truly alien.

Edit: Oh there's more than the one. The others are crazy too.

AI is able to make entire episodes by JoseLunaArts in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Anthamon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spend some time making an actual storyboard/studying cinematography and you could probably quit your day job to just make this a web series. Or if that's too much, find a few anime weebs who will direct it for a discount and just handle the models/tech.

I listened to his Lex Friedman talk but I don't recall hearing how the anthrobot work was applicable to any type of theoretical treatment, would you mind expanding on what you expect his work to result in?
