Future Why So Many AI Researchers Think the Machines Could Kill EveryoneWill Knight | Wired ($) “Genuinely stunning advances in AI capabilities—an OpenAI model solved a centuries-old math problem in a matter of hours—have come amid a rash of security…
The number of space launches has skyrocketed over the last few years, rapidly turning the Earth’s atmosphere into a “crematorium” for satellites and other space junk. Even now, it’s a considerable danger for any spacecraft that dares to orbit the…

A NASA NIAC project will try to Mapping Alien Continents using formation-flying optical interferometer. Two hierarchical nullers ~100 km apart that first suppress the host star by ~10¹⁰ in visible light, then combine the leftover planet light as a Michelson…
NASA Advanced innovation study will try to enable the next generation of solar sails featuring very high characteristic acceleration–potentially up to 2 mm/s²–and large effective areas exceeding 10,000 m², to support future ultra–high delta-V missions. These advanced solar sails would…
This is the nextbigfuture GDP PPP forecast scenario, not an IMF, Anthropic, or consensus forecast. It took the Anthropic economic forecasts for their base case and their bullish case. I then aligned national data for Taiwan and other countries as…
SpaceX is “overvalued.” Starship “can’t reach orbit.” Grok isn’t the leading model, so the AI business must fail. These objections sound convincing—until you separate what has already happened from what the next flight, customer payments, and financial results can prove.…
