We live in interesting times – Anthropic agents have produced a machine-checked proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. Note, AI didn’t solve FLT – no new mathematics – Wiles and Taylor did that in the 90s. What the agents did was formalise a proof so that a machine verifies every single step, and they did it…

This very paradox embodies a self-negating precept, a construct that dismantles itself from within. They champion the idea of relative truths, yet in this declaration, they inadvertently sculpt an overarching meta-narrative, contradicting the foundational principle…

Extending Life is Not Enough
Dr Randal Koene covers the motivation for human technological augmentation and reasons to go beyond biological life extension. Competition is an inescapable occurrence in the animate and even in the inanimate universe. To give our minds the flexibility to transfer and to operate in different substrates bestows upon our species the most important competitive advantage.”…
