The “Robot Singularity”: When AGI Automates the Physical Economy
Grab the Guide here👉: https://technomics.gumroad.com/l/ai-survival-guide.
Everyone is obsessing over chatbots, but the true Singularity isn’t happening on a screen. It starts the moment super-intelligence gets a body.
In this video, we break down The Robot Singularity: the moment AGI enters the physical economy and makes human labor mathematically obsolete.

Who Will Buy Starcloud for Datacenters In Space? 🛰️
Questions to inspire discussion.
💰 Q: Which companies are most likely to acquire StarCloud and why? A: Microsoft, Amazon, Google, OpenAI, and Nvidia are prime candidates to acquire StarCloud for billions to gain first-mover advantage in the space data center industry, allowing them to immediately access 20 of the smartest satellite engineers and an operational program to expand rather than building from scratch.
Technical Achievement.
⚡ Q: What technical milestone did StarCloud achieve that validates the space datacenter concept? A: StarCloud’s recent launch demonstrated a space-based NVIDIA H100 data center that is 100 times more powerful than anything previously launched and successfully ran Gemini AI model, marking the dawn of a new era and proving the viability of AI compute power in space.
🛸 Q: What launch advantage does SpaceX have in the space datacenter industry? A: SpaceX currently holds a monopoly on launching data centers into space with competitors like Blue Origin and Rocket Lab still needing to develop capable rockets, while SpaceX’s Starship is expected to remain the cheapest and best option for orbital launches.
Strategic Value.
The Robot Revolution Is Closer Than You Think
A robot revolution, driven by advancements in robotics and AI, is imminent and will drastically transform the economy, labor, and society, leading to a post-labor, post-scarcity system with abundant energy and labor ##
## Questions to inspire discussion.
Investment & National Strategy.
🚀 Q: Why should governments prioritize humanoid robot investment now? A: Governments must treat humanoid robots as a national priority for transforming productivity and defense, with enormous investments justified because there’s no time to lose as both the US and China have already recognized this imperative.
💰 Q: What economic growth rates become possible with early humanoid robot adoption? A: Spinning up the humanoid robot flywheel early enables exponential economic growth rates of 20–100% per year, unlocking unprecedented prosperity and catapulting societies up the curve over the next 15 years.
⚡ Q: Which countries or entities will likely lead the humanoid robot transformation? A: Outsiders rather than incumbents or centers of power will lead the transformation to a new economic paradigm, as history shows leadership typically comes from the edge rather than the status quo.
Why Supersonic Jet Engines Will Power AI Data Centers
⚙️ Q: What makes supersonic engines better than subsonic for ground power generation? A: Supersonic engines designed for 160°F operation at 60,000 ft and Mach 1.7 handle high ground temperatures without requiring water cooling, throttling, or water spray that subsonic engines need to avoid melting in hot conditions.
Deployment Timeline.
📅 Q: When will Boom’s engines start powering AI data centers? A: Boom’s supersonic engines are scheduled to begin providing power to AI customers in 2027, becoming the most tested new jet engine ever before carrying passengers.
Business Model.
💰 Q: How does powering data centers benefit Boom’s supersonic aircraft development? A: The symbiotic relationship creates a financial bridge where engines generate revenue from data center operations before deployment in commercial passenger aircraft, funding the experimental-to-commercial transition.

How we know Aliens will be AI
Astronomer Royal Lord Martin Rees predicts AI-Alien discovery in the next 10 years. And he thinks he can figure out whether they’ll let us live or not. Inspired by Elon Musk’s exploits (yep he’s everywhere ain’t he) me and Lord Martin go on a deep dive into the minds of AI-Aliens. Massive thank you to Lord Martin for granting me an interview and massive thanks to Rik for the brilliant soundtrack.

Heavy-tailed update distributions arise from information-driven self-organization in nonequilibrium learning
Like human decision-making under real-world constraints, artificial neural networks may balance free exploration in parameter space with task-relevant adaptation. In this study, we identify consistent signatures of criticality during neural network training and provide theoretical evidence that such scaling behavior arises naturally from information-driven self-organization: a dynamic balance between the maximum entropy principle that promotes unbiased exploration and mutual information constraint that relates updates with task objective. We numerically demonstrate that the power-law exponent of updates remains stable throughout training, supporting the presence of self-organized criticality.
Why Control Alone Will Fail: The Structural Limits of Top-Down AI Alignment
The problem is not that top-down AI alignment strategies are wrong; it is that they are structurally insufficient once intelligence crosses certain thresholds of autonomy, generality, and self-reflection. Control is necessary in the early stages of artifi

Human brains are roughly 100,000 times more energy-efficient than current AI systems. So why don’t we build computers using human brain cells? Don’t worry, researchers are one step ahead of you there – different teams across the globe are racing to develop neuron computers; processors that integrate living brain neurons into their chips. Let’s take a look at how this technology is developing and when we might see brain cells chips in the future.
