Long before Bézier curves had a name, craftspeople were already making them by hand. Following that thread, computer scientist Chen Baoquan and mathematician Fu Xiang move from repeating structures in traditional window lattices and nested folk tales to embodied AI and interactive media, looking at why certain ideas keep... show more

In a step that reflects Dubai’s forward-looking cultural vision and its belief that creativity and innovation sit at the core of sustainable development, we have launched the Museum of Digital Art (MODA) - the region’s first museum dedicated to digital art and new technologies - in collaboration with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The museum is an important addition to our cultural and creative ecosystem, serving as a global platform where culture meets technology and the creative economy, reshaping how art is produced, presented, and experienced in the digital age. In Dubai, we continue to build cultural institutions that keep pace with future transformations, expanding opportunities for artists, creators, and talent, guided by the conviction that culture is a key driver in shaping the economy of the future. MODA embodies the concept of future museums: living spaces for creativity, knowledge, and community interaction that go beyond the traditional role of preserving heritage, becoming bridges that connect ideas and generations across time and borders, and reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for culture, innovation, and creativity.

In the AI era, the traditional biopharma industry is the underdog. Big tech and AI labs are building wet labs. China has overtaken Europe in molecules produced. But the tools available to the industry discuss science, not do it. The hard problem in AI for science is at the interface between the physical and digital worlds. We built an AI Scientist at that seam. It wires together the digital and physical worlds of R&D. Predictive models, data infrastructure, wet lab execution feed into a single loop that reasons, acts, and improves with every experiment. Our ambition: get molecules to the clinic twice as fast. Last fall I wrote about why biotech needs to be rebuilt for the AI era. Today I'm sharing the next chapter: what the AI Scientist is, a blueprint for how it works, and why even Richard Feynman couldn't hack it in a wet lab.

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed "legged metamachines," a new class of modular robots whose unique physical forms were evolved entirely by artificial intelligence. Rather than following traditional human-engineered blueprints, the researchers used AI to "grow" novel body configurations in a computer simulation, resulting in strange new "species" that move like seals, lizards, or kangaroos. These AI-driven designs bypass standard dog- or human-like structures to create machines that no human engineer would have conceived. The machines are composed of autonomous, Lego-like modules, each containing its own motor, battery, and computer. While individual modules can move on their own, their true agility and near-indestructibility emerge through the AI-evolved architecture that allows them to function as a collective. Because the design is inherently modular, these robots can survive catastrophic damage that would be fatal to traditional machines. Broken parts do not become dead weight; instead, the AI-designed system allows them to keep rolling or crawling independently to rejoin the team. Lead researcher Sam Kriegman notes that these are the first robots to step outdoors after evolving inside a computer. They can survive being cut into pieces, as every separated module remains an individual agent capable of continuing its journey. The study, conducted at the McCormick School of Engineering, was co-authored by Kriegman and PhD students Chen Yu, David Matthews, and Jingxian Wang.

Did You Know the Tiv People Created One of Africa’s Most Unique Theatres? Long before cinemas and television became popular, the Tiv people of present-day Benue State had already created Kwagh-hir, a traditional theatre that combined puppets, carved masks, music, dance and storytelling to entertain and educate their communities. But Kwagh-hir was more than entertainment. It was used to preserve Tiv history, teach moral values and challenge social issues, and in 2019, UNESCO recognised it as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. #DidYouKnow #TivCulture #KwaghHir #NigerianCulture #AfricanCulture #CulturalHeritage #HistoryFacts #NigeriaFacts #DidYouKnowFacts

Long before the Council of Nicaea, long before medieval cathedrals, and long before Christianity became a dominant force in the Roman world, Christians were already making an extraordinary confession: Jesus Christ is Lord. And this page from Papyrus 46 one of our earliest physical witnesses to that confession. I just launched the newest manuscript in my facsimile collection and it is none other than the very test of Philippians 2 that contains this amazing “Christ Hymn.” Check it out and get your own personal copy at

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: Why Aldi is destroying traditional grocery stores Aldi went from a single grocery store opened in America in 1976 by two German brothers to becoming, by 2024, the third largest grocery chain in the country, terrifying major retailers like Walmart and Amazon along the way. And they did it by following a business strategy that seemed to break every rule of American retail. This is the rise of Aldi.

The KGB put 85% of its intelligence budget into wrecking Americans’ ability to recognize Marxism. By 1984, they said the job was already finished. Demoralization only needed one student generation in the universities, and after that a mind saturated with the ideas can’t be reached by facts even when you put them right in front of it. The useful idiots who promoted it were marked for the wall first because they were too idealistic to control. Those same 1960s students were supposed to end up running government, media, and the schools, and the next stages after demoralization were destabilization, crisis, then normalization. Bezmenov already had the country entering destabilization 40 years ago and said only a crisis reverses it, facts alone won’t. He left this generation to name the stage we’re in.

Nobody has ever made the dark feel as real as old Disney did. In these films the night isn't an absence of light. It's a color, and someone mixed it by hand… Disney had its own paint laboratory, built by a woman named Mary Weiser, the first of its kind in animation. Its job was to invent shades that did not exist yet. In the early thirties, when the studio was still making shorts, there were around eighty shades on the shelves. By the time they finished Snow White there were fifteen hundred. Every one of them went on by hand, cel by cel, and each cel needed hours to dry before it could be photographed. The Ink and Paint department was almost entirely women. According to the Walt Disney Family Museum, the paints were sometimes named after them, and to have a color carry your name was considered an honour. So the dark of Bambi's forest, the lamplight in Geppetto's workshop, the blue at Cinderella's attic window: none of it is a filter or a setting or a dimmer turned down. Each is a specific colour that a specific person mixed in a jar, and some of those jars had her name on the label. That is why these scenes still feel more alive than anything made since. We went from hands, to computers, to AI, and at every step there is a little less of the person left in it… The author Joanna Maciejewska said it better than anyone: "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."

“I care about one thing and one thing only: that the 18, 19, 20, year old kid—who had no choice in where he went, or what threat he was facing—I want him to win and come home. That’s why we do it. Palantir is very helpful in delivering this.” Cameron Stanley, Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer of the Department of War, shares how the DoW is driving enterprise-wide adoption of data, analytics, and AI to generate decision advantage—and what it takes to move cutting-edge technology from the lab to the warfighter at speed.

Doug Engelbart, inventor of the computer mouse, shares a story from his early days in Silicon Valley: After completing his thesis work at Berkeley, Engelbart had built up a portfolio of patents in what he describes as "a new phenomenon." Looking to find a home for them, he approached Hewlett-Packard directly. "I ended up with 10 to 20 patents that were in a new phenomenon and one thing I did was go to Hewlett Packard to see if they would like to buy them. Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard were still very active." HP agreed to buy a package of the patents from him. But Engelbart had a concern. He wasn't done inventing yet. "One thing I was worried about is I'm going to keep on inventing and I haven't even got all tied down yet. The package isn't all that's here in my head." Dave Packard's response won him over immediately: "I'll make you a deal. For the first six months everything you can write down will be yours, part of that deal. And after that they're ours." Engelbart describes Packard as "very pragmatic." It was a handshake style of deal-making that sealed it on the spot. But the most telling moment came on his way out the door. Engelbart asked the research director a simple question, one that, in hindsight, exposed a massive blind spot at one of the most respected technology companies of the era: "I'm assuming that Hewlett Packard will go into digital techniques for their instrumentation and likely in digital processing on computers." The answer: "Not a chance." "So that whole thing fell through right then." A man sitting on patents that anticipated the digital future walked into HP, and HP, a company that would later become synonymous with computing, told him they had no interest in going digital.

The recent Trump administration report on election interference goes far beyond the 2020 election. John Solomon says intelligence officials were caught openly keeping critical election security information from the President, Congress, and the American public. “What we did is look at a 20-year window of intelligence about the security of our elections.” “Were foreigners interfering? Were domestic players interfering? Were there vulnerabilities that we know about that we had not fixed?” “Career people in the intelligence community made conscious decisions to keep that information from the President, Congress, and the American public.” “There were intelligence officers bragging that they were withholding information from the President and from Congress.” “One of them boasted that they were running a shadow government.” “We were being told we were in the most secure election environment in history, and the intelligence showed just the opposite.” John Solomon

Impact After Term | 15 : TVA's Tamil Digital Library — Bringing Tamil's Civilisational Knowledge to the Digital Age Established by Kalaignar in 2001 to enable the Tamil language to thrive in the Internet era and promote Tamil learning across the world, the Tamil Virtual Academy has spearheaded several pioneering digital initiatives. Among its most significant has been the Tamil Digital Library—created to preserve centuries of Tamil literature, manuscripts, archival records and cultural resources in digital form, while making them freely accessible to students, researchers and Tamil communities worldwide. Following the formation of the DMK Government in 2021, the Tamil Digital Library underwent a significant transformation. As Minister for Finance and Human Resources Management, Dr. PTR allocated ₹96.65 lakh in the 2022–23 Budget to accelerate the digitisation of rare books, manuscripts and archival collections. After assuming charge as Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, he oversaw the next phase of its expansion, broadening both its scale and public accessibility. Today, the Tamil Digital Library hosts over one lakh rare books, manuscripts, journals and historical records. Nearly 19.89 lakh pages have been digitised, including over eight lakh palm-leaf manuscript pages, thousands of rare photographs and hundreds of hours of archival audio-visual material—creating one of the largest digital knowledge repositories dedicated to an Indian language. The initiative also placed a strong emphasis on accessibility. With an allocation of ₹1 crore for the Inclusive Digital Library, access was expanded for persons with visual impairments. During Dr. PTR's tenure as Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, 12.85 lakh pages were converted using OCR technology, while 1.30 lakh pages were made available in accessible formats such as DOC, EPUB, DAISY and Braille-compatible editions. The initiative was further expanded through a series of dedicated digital knowledge platforms, including Tamilar Thagaval Attruppadai, the Digital Cultural Atlas and Kalaignar Karuvoolam. During this period, the complete digitised works of 38 eminent Tamil scholars, literary figures and leaders were also made publicly accessible, alongside thematic digital collections preserving Tamil Nadu's literary, political, social and cultural history. The impact has been substantial. Website visits increased from 1.25 crore in 2021 to over 17.25 crore by 2026, with more than 13.27 crore visits recorded during Dr. PTR's tenure, reflecting the growing global use of these digital resources. The Tamil Digital Library has transformed centuries of Tamil knowledge into a living digital resource for future generations.

"We got them down to six... they were places where I thought we had the greatest opportunity for change and for growth and impact on our combat power and for our industrial base." "Applied AI was number one. So then we moved the chief digital and AI office into my group, and we were able to run extremely fast with that... we're way behind in AI at the department, and we know it's penetrating the rest of the world so dramatically, so quickly." "Our adversaries were also using it... they want to use computers to eliminate human decision making. We want to enhance human decision making." Under Secretary of War Emil Michael Department of War CTO David Ulevitch 🇺🇸

Andrew Kolvet and TPUSA caught in more lies. He originally said that the SD cards were “in the possession of the FBI.” “It’s not like he took them and ran off with them.” Actually, he did run off with them, and took them home, did what he wanted with them, then put them on flash drives before turning over to authorities. In other words, tampering with crime scene evidence. You can’t just walk into a crime scene and take evidence. That’s illegal! And we all know he took it home because he showed a zoomed in portion of it from his computer to Candace. And he didn’t hand over the original evidence. He gave them a flash drive OF CLIPS after he had already taken it home, transferred to his computer, and then clipped what he wanted before putting it on the flash drive. He’s tampered with evidence and should be dealt with accordingly for that. This evidence should never be accepted in to trial because now it has been tampered with.

Medvedev and Peskov started making assurances that there will be no mobilization in Russia and Russia is not preparing for one. Very recently, I wrote that one of the reasons for restricting the internet and social media in Russia is preparation for mobilization. Yes, there is an anti-drone logic behind it, but it seems much more like part of a stricter mobilization model: first, the Russian state suppresses communications and limits access to keep people within a controlled digital environment, and only afterward will it conduct a new wave of mobilization with less chaos and less room for resistance. Russia is preparing for a larger war and a broader mobilization. For the process to go smoothly, the regime needs to reduce information leaks, make summonses digital and unavoidable, and narrow the space for evasion and escape. That's why Russia has already launched electronic summonses - to make it harder for men to avoid conscription. We don't know exactly where the Kremlin will deploy the next wave of cannon fodder. But we do know that Putin is already expanding the army to 1.5 million active personnel, and the Kremlin has openly justified this by citing threats on the Western flank and the need to create new structures in the northwest.
