cool video about solar panel longevity

Very interesting video, seems solar panels do last longer than I expected.  This youtuber goes over an old solar panel his family had and how its still going, and the importance of location for the panel

Grok 4.7 test

 


comment

you know the game demos could get ridiculously better looking if they just implemented an ai image to ai 3d conversion to optimized 3d ai conversion pipeline.  AI image gen takes seconds, and AI image to 3d conversion also takes seconds, and iirc i think even ai 3d model optimization also takes seconds.

Comments on a youtuber's video about state of agi progress

 

1. There is crystallized intelligence, which is basically established knowledge and skills, and fluid intelligence which is the ability to acquire new knowledge and skills on the fly.   The problem with the current system is that while it can temporarily acquire knowledge and skills for new tasks at least simple tasks through the harness, it still cannot convert these to crystallized intelligence on short order like the human brain does.  a link commenting about the two https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/religion-and-philosophy/fluid-and-crystallized-intelligence

2. I do believe AGI will change everything overnight, currently we have proto-agi, it is superhuman in some areas and subhuman in others while having some levels of generality through crystallized intelligence.   The thing is with the current path; we will likely reach AGI that will potentially be superhuman at most tasks from the outset.   This means research in robotics, synthetic biology, and even ai itself will likely drastically be sped up.   Synthetic biology in particular is highly promising as many biologists do not have the imagination to see the vast potential that remains untapped with unevolvable designs, extremophiles have only hinted at its potential, cells have the potential to make part of a new era of self-repairing self-replicating technological and manufacturing base combining and exceeding the best of man-made products and nature, allowing for the use of cheap ubiquitous materials to provide unlimited energy and material abundance.

Cancer cures on the horizon

 


Sciencedaily:A naturally occurring bacterium from amphibian intestines completely eliminated colorectal tumors in mice with a single treatment by both attacking cancer cells and activating the immune system. The findings point to a promising new type of cancer therapy that could one day work against many solid tumors....Expanding to Other Types of Cancer

The study establishes proof of concept for using naturally occurring bacteria as a cancer therapy. Future research will examine whether the approach can be applied to additional solid tumors, including breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and melanoma.

The team also plans to optimize treatment methods through approaches such as dose fractionation and direct injection into tumors. Researchers will also investigate whether E. americana works even better when combined with existing chemotherapy or immunotherapy.


Interesting research, along with the moderna anticancer vaccine that was previously mentioned, and the cancer immunity research from lift biosciences.

All of these if successful seem like they might be able to treat many diverse types of solid tumors, including malignant ones throughout the body.   Both Moderna and Lift have already passed animal trials and are already in human trials, in the case of moderna some of the trials were successful recently.

Rumors that ai might have solved the navier stokes millenium problem.

 

Video about navier stokes equation and the math behind it.

Another video, this one I got the link while live.  I think they're covering the recent news of ai proof discovered.

edit: a video about the controversy



edited:
Some interesting news links, about the claim the amount of cost in compute, and the controversy or drama brewing.

I will say mathematicians can avoid any drama of potential conflict regards credit or authorship by using local private ai models that do not share their prompts or ai assisted findings.   The open-source models are rapidly catching up to and at times exceeding the closed source models.

Comment on youtube video I Wanted To Know How Far GPT-6 Astra Gets Before It Needs You.

 


Very interesting video about the new level of automation possible through gpt astra, mentions the idea of managing ai agents supervising other ai agents.

GPT 6 ASTRA significant leap but not yet AGI


Comment about this youtuber's video: As I've mentioned previously, these types of ai assistants can be considered proto-agi.  They are extremely capable even superhuman in some aspects, but it still has notable limitations.

gpt 6 gpt astra released

 

Currently the best model out there, surpassing even fable 5.1, at least according to the benchmarks.   Several of the demos are shown in the video, and they look notably impressive.

cool youtube vid titled Claude Fable 5.1 Is INSANE – Hands-On With the BEST Model Yet!

 

Interesting video showing some test of latest fable update.  I would say it looks good, but not revolutionary at least in the 3d contents of the game like tests.

Common supplements rival antibiotics for severe gum disease

 Omega-3 and low-dose aspirin matched the effectiveness of antibiotics in a year-long study of patients with severe gum disease, with both approaches helping about 58% reach the treatment goal. The unexpected result could point to a new way to treat some patients while reducing reliance on antibiotics and the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.-https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260829035216.htm

Impressive results of regular supplements, supplements are quite powerful but there is rampant fraud, it is best to buy direct from manufacturer and buy from brands that are reputable and have had third party tests.

comment on aging video by youtuber siimland

 


comment 1: The exceptions to the oxidative stress theory of aging (basically the evolved rate of living or free radical theory of aging) were explained by the membrane pacemaker theory of aging, whose own exceptions as pertains aging rate can be explained by the presence of antioxidant mechanisms such as the presence of plasmalogen molecules that act as sacrificial antioxidants.

Damage to membranes creates an autocatalytic chain reaction of damaging molecules that can bypass both lipid and aquatic sections of the cell damaging all components throughout the cell.   Species with high metabolic rate and high lifespan, achieve this by altering membrane peroxidation index or otherwise altering membranes to make them more resistant to damage, particularly the mitochondrial membrane.

The neuron of mice when transplanted into rats' lives twice as long as mice do.  It is believed that if transplanted into even longer-lived animals it'd live just as long as the host.  Even in humans' neurons last over 110 years longer than the average lifespan, and again it too might live as long as a longer-lived host if transplanted into such.

So at the cellular level a near agelessness was achieved in neurons.  Despite sustaining extensive genetic damage throughout the lifespan most seem to keep on working fine.  The fact humans age despite having ageless cells, and even mice too, is due to planned obsolescence.  Evolution optimizes lifespan to maximize evolvability, the rate of evolution for a particular species.

What can be done? Well look at insects despite the workers sharing same genome as queen, the lifespan difference can be up to dozens of times, iirc up to 100-fold difference in lifespan has been seen with different gene expression patterns.  It may be that we can take the anti-aging mechanisms used by neurons, perhaps even a fraction of these, and express them throughout the body by altering gene expression to increase membrane resistance to damage.

comment 2: resveratrol failed due to fast liver clearance, in animals without fast liver clearance above 50% life extension is achieved, including in vertebrates.   At very high dose it achieved over 20% life extension in primates albeit the group was too small to reach statistical significance.  New formulations of resveratrol such as JOTROL shows good promise, and is now undergoing clinical trials for some conditions.

comment on youtube video titled Elon Musk says robots and AI will end money

 




we don't know if there are physical limits that intelligence can't overcome, in the book the metamorphosis of prime intellect, it turns out even the fundamental laws of physics can be altered by intelligence.  Though perhaps there are limits, still they may allow for things like wormholes, or nanobots which can overcome most limits.   Full immersion virtual reality can allow for omnipotence within the virtual space and endless environments of untold beauty and physical impossibility.

comment on mac news videos from youtubers matt talks tech and 9to5mac

New mac mini and mac studio announced, mac mini releasing in September.  M6 mini will reach up to 32GB of ram, while the M5 pro will reach up to 64GB of ram.  This video focuses on mac mini

 The following video focuses on mac studio

Up to 1.2 TB/s of bandwidth and up to 512GB of unified ram.  Very impressive for local ai use.  Of course it's also good for media and general use too.

comment about AI search youtuber video New AI waifus, new Deepseek, realtime worlds, Happy Shrimp, tiny TTS: AI NEWS

 

New excellent update on ai news from excellent ai news aggregator ai search.


Edit: most impressive news is that the Nvidia avo harness together with claude managed to get 100% on arc agi 3 public benchmark, something that most models alone previously failed miserably at.  

Edit 2:  The fact adding a harness to claude allowed 100% on arc agi 3, when previously scores were under 30%, suggests that maybe llm technology with some additions might be able to reach agi, without having to resort to radically different architecture.

Intelligence might be simpler than some expected in its fundamental nature as Hawkins prior comments suggested.

"Intelligence and understanding started as a memory system that fed predictions into the sensory system. These predictions are the essence of understanding. To know something means that you can make predictions about it."- Jeff Hawkins

 "[We need to see the brain] not as a fast processor, but as a memory system that stores and plays back experiences to help us predict, intelligently, what will happen next."- Jeff Hawkins

edit 3   A video by Michel LaclĂ© titled 

A Perfect Score: How NVIDIA's AVO Aced the Hardest Reasoning Benchmark

This short video focuses on the AVO harness and how together with claude it managed to ace the public arc agi 3 benchmark.  Now it remains to be seen how it'll fare on the private arc agi 3 bench, but it will probably do well.  The AVO harness was not designed for arc agi 3 yet managed such impressive results of 100%.
