Je ne pense pas qu'on réalise le tsunami qui arrive. Ce que vous voyez là, ce n'est pas une démo de plus. C'est le premier domino d'une cascade qui va redéfinir ce que ça veut dire être humain au 21e siècle. Pendant 200 ans, la révolution industrielle a automatisé la force brute. Mais la dextérité fine, le geste précis, l'adaptation à un environnement non standardisé, c'est resté la chasse gardée de l'humain. Casser un œuf. Plier une chemise. Réparer une fuite. Ce mur vient de tomber. Étape 1 : les robots humanoïdes commencent vraiment à marcher. Pas des prototypes de salon, des machines qui exécutent des tâches manuelles complexes en autonomie, à vitesse réelle, avec un seul modèle pour tout. Le hardware suit la loi de Wright. Comptez 5 ans pour passer de 100K€ à 15K€ l'unité. Étape 2 : toutes les tâches manuelles non créatives vont être automatisées. Cuisiner, nettoyer, ranger, jardiner, livrer, soigner, construire. Pas "certaines" tâches. La quasi-totalité du travail manuel répétitif que l'humanité produit depuis qu'elle est sortie de la savane. Étape 3 : tout le monde aura un service 3 étoiles chez soi. Aujourd'hui, avoir un chef privé, un majordome, un kiné à domicile, c'est réservé à 0,01% de la population mondiale. Demain, c'est le standard. Le luxe va se démocratiser à une vitesse jamais vue dans l'histoire. Étape 4 : la société va se réorganiser entièrement autour des robots. L'urbanisme, le droit, la fiscalité, l'éducation. Tout est designé autour d'une contrainte qui disparaît : la rareté du travail humain. Comparable en ampleur à l'arrivée de l'électricité, sauf que ça prendra 20 ans, pas 80. Étape 5 : la place de l'humain est à retrouver. Si une machine cuisine mieux, soigne mieux, code mieux, à quoi ça sert d'être humain ? La réponse n'est pas dans la productivité. Elle est dans l'expérience subjective, la création de sens, le lien, le jeu, le risque, la transmission. Étape 6 : abondance totale de biens et de services. Le coût marginal de produire un repas, un vêtement, un logement, un soin tend vers zéro. Marx pensait que c'était la révolution prolétarienne qui apporterait l'abondance. Erreur. C'est le capitalisme et la technologie qui le font. Étape 7 : on réalise que la vie est un énorme jeu. Toutes les civilisations qui ont atteint un seuil d'abondance ont basculé vers la culture, le sport, la philosophie, l'art. Sauf que cette fois, ce n'est pas 0,1% de la population qui accède au jeu. C'est 100% des 10 milliards d'humains. Étape 8 : le but devient de coloniser l'intégralité du cosmos. Une espèce qui a résolu sa subsistance et qui dispose de robots autonomes ne reste pas confinée à une bille bleue. Mars dans 15 ans. La ceinture d'astéroïdes dans 30. Les lunes de Jupiter dans 50. L'univers observable contient 2 trillions de galaxies. C'est notre terrain de jeu. Le 20e siècle nous a appris à craindre la technologie. Le 21e va nous apprendre à la chérir. Parce que c'est elle, et elle seule, qui nous sort de la condition de primates obligés de travailler 40h par semaine pour ne pas mourir de faim. Les luddites ont toujours perdu. Ils perdront encore. Et heureusement. L'humanité n'a jamais été aussi proche de devenir ce qu'elle est censée être : une espèce de joueurs, d'explorateurs, de créateurs, libérée de la nécessité, partie à la conquête des étoiles. Le tsunami arrive. Ne le subissez pas. Surfez-le.
We are back. After one year of quiet building. Introducing GENE-26.5, our first robotic brain that takes a major step toward human-level capability. For years, robotics has struggled to learn from the world’s largest and valuable data source: Humans. Solving it means rethinking the whole stack from the ground up: - A robotics-native foundation model. - A 1:1 human-like robotic hand. - A noninvasive data collection glove for motion, force, and touch. - A simulator that turns weeks of experiments into minutes. GENE-26.5 is trained across language, vision, proprioception, tactile, and action. We designed a set of tasks to test how far we can go with this new paradigm. Fully autonomous, 1x speed, one model, same weights. (Enjoy with sound on) We are approaching the endgame for robotics. And this is just a beginning.

Remember the harrowing China Eastern Airlines crash that saw the jet nosedive almost vertically into the mountainside? According to a new NTSB report, the fuel control switches for both engines were moved (almost simultaneously) from "run" to "cutoff." Engine speeds dropped, the autopilot was disengaged, and the plane entered a steep dive and inverted roll. The switches cannot be moved accidentally on a 737 - they require deliberate action. No restart attempts were recorded. This fact has only just come to light via an NTSB response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by a Chinese citizen. It strongly suggests deliberate cockpit action, which is strikingly similar to what happened with the Air India Flight 171 crash last year where one passenger miraculously survived the burning wreck. The incidents occurred a few years apart involving different aircraft types (737 vs. 787 Dreamliner), but both appear to be caused by pilot action. The key comparison here though is how China Eastern/Chinese authorities versus Air India/Indian authorities handled public communication, investigation updates, and disclosures. How China 🇨🇳 handled it: The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) issued only a very brief preliminary report in April 2022 with scant details. No meaningful updates followed. China failed to release required annual progress reports (per ICAO Annex 13 standards) on the 3rd and 4th anniversaries (2025 and 2026). When asked for information, the CAAC cited risks to "national security and social stability" as the reason for withholding reports. No final report has been issued even >4 years later. The cockpit voice recorder data was handed over to China; the US NTSB did not retain copies. How India 🇮🇳 handled it: India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released a preliminary factual report on July 12, 2025 (within ~30 days), detailing the switch movements, FDR/CVR data summary, and sequence of events. This was the first time India performed full black-box analysis domestically. The report was shared publicly and with international parties (NTSB, Boeing). The investigation followed ICAO Annex 13 rules with accredited representatives from the U.S. and manufacturer. As of early 2026, the AAIB stated the probe is ongoing (not finalized), with the final report expected "very soon" or within 2026. Indian courts criticized the aviation authorities for "irresponsible" early media leaks suggesting pilot error and for selective/piecemeal information release. Families have demanded full black-box data and more accountability. However, the preliminary report was public and detailed, and the process involved international oversight. India and Air India were significantly more transparent than the Chinese. The Indian authorities released a substantive preliminary report quickly, followed ICAO norms more closely, involved international experts, and faced domestic accountability mechanisms (courts, media, families). China’s approach - years of silence, skipped reports, and reliance on external FOIA for key data - is a massive cover-up. It's really not unlike how they handled covid so please don't tell me how they are responsible global actors. It's basically the same pattern - limited transparency, delayed or withheld information, and prioritization of "stability" or control over full public and international disclosures.
💥 The Chinese authorities have known for 4 years that a pilot of a China Eastern Airlines jet — flight MU5735 — deliberately crashed the aircraft, killing all 132 aboard, according to data from the US. The data, released by the 🇺🇸 National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), confirms earlier leaked US accounts that Flight 5735, a Boeing 737, was intentionally crashed into mountains in Guangxi in Mar 2022. The NTSB readings from the flight recorders show two pilots wrestling over the controls after both engines were shut down by hand, the automatic pilot was switched off and the jet was pushed into a nosedive as it cruised between Kunming and Guangzhou. In the face of public anger, Beijing has failed to publish a report. Last July the Chinese Civil Aviation Administration responded to an inquiry with a warning that “disclosure [about the crash] may, if released, endanger national security and social stability”. Beijing is under pressure from international aviation organizations to come clean over the disaster, which appears to have followed a similar pattern to suspected murder-suicide acts by airline pilots that have killed hundreds since 2014. The NTSB was asked to decode the flight recorders of Flight 5735 and transmitted its readings to China two weeks after their recovery in 2022. The US agency released extracts from its findings on Thursday in response to a Chinese citizen’s freedom of information request. “It was found that while cruising at 29,000ft, the fuel switches on both engines moved from the run position to the cut-off position,” the NTSB said. “Engine speeds decreased after the fuel switch movement.” Graphs of control inputs and the aircraft’s movement showed a pilot’s yoke pushing the aircraft into a steep dive and efforts by the other pilot to halt the dive. The two pilots were turning their yokes in opposite directions, commanding left or right rolls from the ailerons on the edges of the wings. The report said that a power failure had halted the data recorder after 90 seconds but the battery-powered crew voice recorder had continued. The agency did not reveal the contents, which it transmitted to Beijing at the time and said it had not stored a copy. Video from the ground showed the Boeing plunging vertically. The crew made no radio calls and no emergency radar code was transmitted. Previous Chinese reports have said that all systems appeared to have been functioning normally. Two months after the crash, a US investigator said “the plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit”. China removed all references to that report, including screenshots, from social media. Three pilots were on the flight deck. Captain Yang Hongda, Zhang Zhengping, the first officer, and Ni Gongtao, a second officer in training. Speculation in China has centred on Zhang, one of the airline’s most experienced pilots, who had recently been demoted from his captain’s rank. thetimes.com/article/220e2b5…

they finally proved my theory that i have been banging on about for years thoughts are liquid in the ether and once they condense into quantum rain clouds, they precipitate into our visible universe as realities essentially what its saying is that thoughts when thunketh so strongly, so convicted, with so much believe... they have no choice but to thunderstorm in 3D
BREAKING🚨: Physicists report first ever observation of a strange effect called “quantum rain”.

A thousand times brighter than a typical nova, a kilonova occurs when two neutron stars, or a neutron star and a black hole, collide.
