Gaia, the space observatory, won’t shut down easily now that its mission is over. Shades of Star Trek—TOS episode “The Changling,” “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” You knew this would be a problem!

Looking deeper into God’s universe. Makes me think of my upcoming short story “Let There Be Light,” with a Christian scientist and his secular protege fighting (literally) for control of a mile-wide space telescope in 2044.

SNTIENT is an unfolding digital tale of corporate overlords and robots reaching singularity. Brands can be in the story as product placement. It is not interactive or transactive, but brands can transfer appearances into their own marketing communications. Sponsoring dystopia conveys coolness in Blade Runner and Minority Report.

Viewing AI as Alien Intelligence—Avi Loeb
Loeb—astrophysicist and controversial seeker of ETs—suggests luring alien AI probes toward Earth by providing energy sources they can tap. We’re just begging for it!

Saudi Arabia's 100-Mile Skyscraper Is Turning Into a Disaster—Futurist

Geothermal power is a climate moonshot beneath our feet—The New Yorker
Most interesting approach: the gyrotron microwave beam from Quaise Energy. Of course, there is already a sci-fi cautionary tale: 1965 film “Crack in the World.”

Microsoft announces Majorana 1 chip, quantum computing milestone. I’ve now learned about Majorana particles and their discoverer, Ettore Majorana, compared to Newton and Galileo by his boss Enrico Fermi (himself smartest person next to Einstein). Majorana is as enigmatic as Nikola Tesla, it turns out! And now, here’s this chip named after him. What could go wrong? @books @religion
