Here's my conversation with Max Tegmark (Max Tegmark), his 3rd time on the podcast. We discuss AGI, AI safety, nuclear war & the open letter (he co-led) calling for the halting of further development of large AI systems for 6 months. This was fascinating! youtube.com/watch?v=VcVfce…

Homo naledi specimens buried 30m underground in cave system part of Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO world heritage site in South Africa, date back at least 200,000 BC. Burial practices indicate complex emotional & cognitive behaviour, prior to Homo sapiens. interestingengineering.com/culture/worlds…

We are working towards Africa's 1st mission to the Moon, the #Africa2Moon Project, also the world's 1st radio telescope on the the Moon to perform new science in the 1-10MHz range from the Lunar farside. Watch this space🌛🚀

🚨 WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN!!! 🏁 40 days, 3 hrs & 29 mins after launch, CHANDRAYAAN-3 has successfully touched down on the Lunar surface!! 🌖 MASSIVE congrats to ISRO & the global spaceflight community! The south polar region of the Moon is no longer empty! 🛰️ #Chandrayaan3 #ISRO

NEWS 🚨: NASA has begun to open the capsule containing samples from asteroid Bennu

Congratulations, Japan! Fifth country to land a craft on the surface of the Moon, after US, Russia, China & India. Japan's lunar lander successfully touched down just after midnight on Saturday; a technical solar power issue may limit mission goals. japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/01/2…

Private lander Odysseus by Intuitive Machines' aiming to land near Moon's south pole tonight around midnight. Success would be historic: No private spacecraft has ever soft-landed on Moon & no American vehicle has done so since Apollo 17 in 1972. Watch here: space.com/intuitive-mach…
