servers thinking w a human's worth of electricity is scary at first. but we're made of self-replicating molecular nanotechnology that can subsist off the land w/o civilization & arose out of the goo. we cant write basic software for bio yet and the goo is far from optimized

Let's say a frontier model is a 10T MoE on GB300 NVL72. That's ~5 Joules/token or ~50 W at human thinking speed vs our brain at 20 W. The energy grid is $0.08/kWh and eating rice $0.50/kWh. So on an energy-per-thought standpoint rn we're surprisingly similar to frontier models!

2) "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov
3) "I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter" by Isabel Fall

"you know, i have a lot of respect for my ancestors. they may have had tiny foreheads and pathetic ears, but they still made it."
reflecting on 1920s images of people working on massive generators for the electrification of the modern world makes me realize that the past was wildly futuristic too
it's interesting to imagine that my head would only need to be 1.5cm larger (in radius) to have a 2x larger neocortex and if I could reaquire the growth rate of a baby this would only take 2 years
@jaivinwylde sleep, stretch, meditate, walk, lift, cardio, if u do all of these it basically impossible to be stressed

i asked LLMs to have fun, write down what happened, then rate who had the most fun. the newer models seem to have less fun! many models played word games, but opus 4.6 won over and over by imagining brief worlds made up of contradictions living inside falling water droplets 🥺

apparently across the street from McDonald's in San Francisco is a vegan parody restaurant called Mr Charlie's
10 million humanoid robots is enough physical labor to build New York City in 5 months and the first Optimus factory will manufacture that many robots in a single year
The Optimus factory construction at Giga Texas is progressing rapidly.
It'll be a massive 7 million sq ft facility with a targeted capacity of 10 million Optimus per year. Initial production is planned to begin in 2027.
The Fremont facility, planned for 1 million per year, is expected to begin production this year.

when i was a teen i was a little emo, and i think it was because i felt like i didnt control anything important about my life. looking back with knowledge now, there were a nearly infinite number of higher agency paths i could have taken. my life was always more free than i knew

time to share my gaming heritage
if we double the industrial production in outer-space every 12 months starting from some initial seed in 2030 then we hit Kardashev I by 2064 and Kardashev II by 2098. If we take 24 months for each doubling, we still hit Kardashev I by 2096 and Kardashev II by 2165

any starcraft 2 moots on the timeline?
now imagine 11 more years or 22 years
11 years of humanoid robotics in one video. 🤖
In 2015, humanoid robots were still struggling with basic tasks like walking, climbing stairs and recovering from falls during the DARPA Robotics Challenge.
Fast-forward to 2026, and humanoids are running, jumping, boxing, playing football, handling industrial tasks and operating in real-world environments. The World Humanoid Robot Games featured 2,056 robots across 51 events, including practical tasks in factories, hotels and homes.
The progress is obvious. But the real question is not how impressive they look in a demo.
What will humanoid robots be capable of in 2036? 👀

now tell me how often u wana get scannedd pls
In an ideal world - how often would you like to get a full-body ultrasound scan from our Midjourney Scanner?
gonna do two polls today, curious what people would choose if there were multiple types of destinations for the MJ scanner
Where would you most like to get a full-body ultrasound scan from a Midjourney Scanner?
this is your chance to get your ideas on the list that the whole Midjourney community will vote on! and it's always really helpful for me just to meditate on all the things we should be doing 🙏
Each year we do a call to our community asking what we should prioritize over next 12 months. The time is now! What do you think is most important for us to do and think about? After collecting ideas we'll do a big rating event to rank everything. Thanks <3
