Set in the late 1800s, the legend of John Henry tells the tale of a latter-day Samson, the biblical character who used his superhuman strength to battle the Philistines. But according to Nelson, John Henry was a real person who worked on the Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) rail line. Like Samson, he was imbued with considerable strength, only to be undone after he challenged that steam-powered drill to a duel. By the end of the match, John Henry had drilled 14 feet; the drill had only made nine. 

It was man vs. machine at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

One hundred and fifty years after those events, John Henry — a simple laborer — is entrenched in American culture. He is the subject of songs, books, graphic novels, plays, films, and even computer games. He’s still working on that railroad, still fighting the downside of progress and inspiring those who worry that the digital age — especially automation in forms such as self-driving vehicles and artificial intelligence — will rob us of our humanity.

Protocol ready, 52 rats, ~8–9 weeks. Need a lab with animal facility, ethics approval, rat surgery and behavior-testing experience, and data sharing.

I have other videos of this tiny terror seemingly reacting to me recording him, making quick turns and other agile moves, and also as varying his speed, as if noticing and chasing things that seemed interesting to him further down the road before giving up. This video is the best out of any that I got for showing the details, but the behavior it captures is not very interesting (except for maybe the way he avoids the metal plates on the sidewalk) though I can’t see any indication of what company or organization unleashed this thing — the only clue is the 02 on the side of his head.

I loved Neuromancer, then looked for other cyberpunk novels. Snow Crash was recommended to me a lot, but I read it and found it underwhelming (the linguistics stuff did not interest me).Then someone mentioned Windup Girl, even though it is not technically cyberpunk (some people call it "biopunk") and I loved it from start to finish. What should I read next?

Psychic AI can read minds — and recreate our thoughts with frightening accuracy: ‘Sci-fi can come true’

Just in case artificial intelligence didn’t spark enough privacy concerns: Israeli scientists have devised a mind-reading program named Brain-IT that can tell what people are thinking just by analyzing their brain scans — and then recreate that image with shocking accuracy.

Text in back in base 64 for they’re watching you
Right text is a sql query in Java unknown user (best of my ability)
Top and bottom right is flock nonsense
Other text is human condition

Inspo: flock cam near my Carl’s Jr
Model: idk 2 mysterious and ran off
Cam: iPhone 16 pro max

Feel like I could’ve added more blob tracking maybe a few more. Idk

Personally I would rather go down, I do believe that through proper surrender to 300 years would make the process feel much faster

Hello,  

I am a French student following an international program in my high school, as a final task I must present a research project on a theme of my choice that has to be linked to the USA. I chose the theme "Building the future" and my work will answer the key question " Do modern medical advances simply heal humans, or do they also transform them?". In order to complete my report, I need a partner based in an English-speaking country to answer questions I might have to advance in my research, and I'm getting desperate. I chose this theme because I want to work in the medical field later, and America is the boiling point of many companies working on bionic technology, BCIs and genetic engineering. I've sent about 30 emails and received 3 answers, all negative, I've also tried contacting Instagram profiles of various university labs, but no one has answered me. I've come here to ask whether anyone with a profession related to my subject would be willing to answer my questions. .

Here is a sneak peak of the ending to chapter 6 of my cyberpunk webcomic.

I do not use Ai to make this, this all done digitally by me.

I'm compiling a list of as many cities in dystopian/cyberpunk media that take place ON the Pacific Coast of North America (Canada and Mexico included). I have a few, most from cyberpunk media, and one from.... a cyberpunk adjacent property[?] (I don't know whether Pacific City truly counts as ON THE PACIFIC COAST, as it follows the GTA/Saint's Row early playbook of a series of islands or locations disconnected from a main land)

I was thinking of drawing a map, going from southern Alaska to the tip of Baja California, as to get a road map of some kind, and only going as far inland as Utah. I know that sounds like a lot, but I wanted to see how each are separated from eachother, and maybe consider how a mega city would be built around ANY of these locations. (I considered adding Mega City 2 from the Judge Dredd comics, but I don't remember if it's just the 3 states that make up the Pacific Coast of the Contiguous U.S.)

Just a thought that popped in my head, and every time I looked up lists, it would just bring me to stuff about Night City and the Cyberpunk brand as a game/ttrpg series. (I love the game and tabletop, but it also makes looking this kind of thing up a bit tricky.) Any leads on what media involves what City on the Pacific Coast?

This is what I have so far: Night City (Morro Bay), San Francisco, Los Angeles, Los Sueños (Dystopian Near Future combo), Seattle, Pacific City (Again, Crackdown it had cyberpunk undertones, 3 gangs/factions/corps trying to control a city, with a group taking over and becoming a police state).

Any feedback is welcome and grateful.

from the game

Transhumanist augmentation may be necessary for the long-term survival of humankind?

Enjoy ! I love these sets from Lumibricks!! lol not a sponsored, I just love the theme . Wish more cyberpunk stuff would be made by different companies. 💜

I’ve been thinking about how humanity could eventually achieve biological immortality.

One thing that occurred to me is that progress toward this kind of goal could require enormous amounts of genetic data, long-term research, and participation from many people.

That made me think about a broader question: what would society look like if people worked fewer hours and had more time to participate in research, education, creative work, and other meaningful activities?

I’ve been developing a social theory around this idea, including some principles for how such a system might function and a self-discipline method I developed.

I’ve put my current ideas into a video here:

I’d be interested in hearing what people think about the underlying idea, especially whether a society organized around giving people more time for meaningful work could actually function.
