Thermodynamic models boost AI Planning Ability?

Thermodynamics is awesome!  If you want to know how the universe works, thermodynamics is an essential piece of the puzzle.

Check this Harvard AI software that applies entropy to planning.  Entropy as intelligence?

For another eye opener – check this sick video on autocatalysis and think about the business cycle, forest fires and other natural systems.

Public Transportation at 4,000MPH

Evacuated Tube Transport:  1/10th the cost of a high-speed rail,  10 times the capacity & 4,000 mph?  Read about it at Singularity Hub. 


Urban Planning at the Dawn of Material Agility

What is the future of cities when all material objects are programmable?  The IEET has an amazing post.

What’s the background on programmable matter? 


Self-Replicating Spacecraft

Settling the moon with self replicating robots could increase US industrial capacity a million fold.

Self replicating space probes could explore the entire galaxy in five hundred thousand years travelling at one tenth the speed of light. 

The search for alien self-replicating nanobots.

What’s the background on self replicating spacecraft?


Space Migration & Type 2 Kardashev civilization

H+ has a nice post on space migration. 

If you haven’t checked this Sentient Developments post on building a Dyson sphere (disassembling the planets starting with Mercury etc).  Do it!  Even NASA was impressed.
