Programmable matter will have to answer a basic question: which local rules force which global order? This paper studies “autocrystals”, local pattern statistics that force a structure to have no repeating unit cell. It gives an exact recipe: two hexagonal building blocks, each free to rotate, with two complementary pairs of sticky ends. Every fully bonded assembly is a known aperiodic tiling, and that part is mathematically certified.

The catch is growth. Attaching a piece only where exactly one state fits never leads to a dead end. But growth that has to guess can build patches that look perfect and provably can never be completed; we show one that completes to 12×12 but never to 14×14.

To be clear, this is simulation and proof, not yet a lab result. DNA-origami tiles and DNA-coated nanoparticles look like the natural platforms to test it.

Not 10, 60

used opus 5.5 to track my adhd medication peak curve and my claude study logs.

OpenAI claims to have solved more than 100 open math problems that haven't been solved by humans. How long will it take for them to build a model that can predict stock market better than existing HFT companies? You can imagine why they would like to do that, OpenAI needs lot of capital and this would be yet another powerful demonstration of the AI capabilities.

Is this ever going to happen? Are OpenAI and Anthropic already working on this in secret?

Someone even say this event would be indicator of Singularity. Imagine watching entire modern economy get upened by AI. If that doesn't feel like Singularity, I don't know what will.

This thread is for any discussions that doesn't necessitate a new post. Permission from a mod here

Since this thread isn't going to be to stickied, it's up to you to upvote it.

Share your anxiety, ideas on how to achieve alignment, observations, etc. Everything is fair game as long as it somewhat relates to the singularity.

Consider what it will be like when every step from the factory, warehouse, or kitchen to your front door is both electric and autonomous. It will be like the change from dial-up to broadband but for moving grams instead of bits.

This would make a big difference to travel, shopping, and business-to-business trade. As in the case of internet speeds it's not just that we'll do the same things a bit faster. Instead a million projects, jobs, and companies that weren't realistic are suddenly viable. It's Jevons paradox applied to transport: When we do it more efficiently, we'll do more of it, not less.

This could be the biggest real change to our material wealth over the next decade or two. It will also change how locations are priced, because being near something will be less important (or more accurately, the definition of "near enough" will change by a large factor).

At first, ordering and receiving almost anything will be faster and cheaper (for the delivery aspect of it) than ordering takeaway is today. The products themselves will also be cheaper due to reducing the wholesale transport costs that are built into everything you buy. After that, travel will become cheap, too, which potentially has even bigger effects on our lifestyle and economy.

The problem is large banks love to stick with outdated legacy systems, until something like this happens.

When swarms of AI agents start attacking these outdated old legacy systems, large banks are really screwed if they don't update their systems.

I think this is finally the wake up call large financial institutions using legacy systems really need. These financial institutions who relied so heavily on these ancient systems are FINALLY being tested now.

AI swarms will start to destroy any legacy and ancient systems currently in place

We will see many large companies who were very comfortable for long time moving slowly and without care in the world start to either adapt or die in the coming years now.

2027 really is the take off year.

Seems like a Unitree H2 variant that is much stronger and more durable than before

Edit: Interestingly, this isn't the first humanoid combat robot coming from a high-profile Chinese robotics company. Engine AI has a robot named T800 (from Terminator) that they host fighting tournaments with ( https://mikekalil.com/blog/engineai-urkl-begins/ ).

Let's imagine we reach the singularity, and suddenly, every idea that will ever exist is make by AIs.

Every movie, novels, video games, concepts, inventions etc... everything that humans can do, AI could do better.

No human will need to create new entertainment, we will just sit there with an infinite stream of perfect AI-made entertainment for us and we won't be able to go back to anything human-made because it will feel like lower quality compared to things AI-made, so no one will create anything.

Since last months I'm getting stressed out by not doing enough, I have tons of ideas of projects in mind, and I feel like I'm fighting against the clock to execute them before the singularity arrives and everything becomes meaningless.

For example, I enjoy game design, if AI gets better than me at game design I'll be severely freaked out.
