⏰ LEGO clock tracks time up to a galactic year

A YouTube creator built a fully mechanical LEGO clock that measures time from seconds up to a galactic year.

The system works continuously and includes a scale reaching 1 billion years.

A galactic year is one full orbit of the Solar System around the Milky Way’s center.

It lasts about 225–250 million Earth years.

The clock places the universe at roughly 61 galactic years old, with the Solar System around 20 and currently mid-way through the 21st.

The mechanism uses a classic pendulum with an escapement and a weight on a string.

When the weight reaches the bottom, an electric motor rewinds it through a differential so the pendulum keeps swinging.

Power comes from a built-in solar panel that rotates with the Sun.

🎥 Logitech brings AI framing to large meeting rooms

Logitech unveiled Rally AI Camera and Rally AI Camera Pro, priced at $2,500 and $3,000. Both target large conference rooms where speakers drift out of frame and faces get lost.

The cameras use Rally optics with RightSight 2. The system switches automatically between a wide shot, a close-up of the speaker, or a balanced grid view for all participants.

The Pro version adds a dual-camera setup with a 115° wide lens plus a separate optical camera with 15x hybrid zoom and a 1-inch sensor. It supports multi-camera layouts in Zoom and Microsoft Teams, with automatic switching.

This is purpose-built hardware for big rooms, not everyday meeting spaces.

🧠 The man who invented AI

In 1956, one mathematician asked a question that sounded like science fiction at the time:
“What if a machine could think?”

That question gave birth to the term Artificial Intelligence.
That man was John McCarthy.
And that moment quietly started the AI story we are living inside today.

McCarthy did not build startups or pitch investors. He did something riskier. He defined ideas decades ahead of their time.

🔸 He argued that intelligence is not magic or “human essence”, but a formal system that can be described with logic
🔸 He created Lisp, the language used for AI long before Python or neural networks
🔸 He believed real AI should reason, set goals, and draw conclusions, not just predict the next token

When we talk today about AI agents, reasoning models, or autonomous decision systems, we are mostly catching up to ideas outlined 60 to 70 years ago.

The irony is that McCarthy was a skeptic. He did not believe in black-box magic and would likely be very strict with modern LLMs.

But his focus on logic, goals, and agency is exactly what is becoming relevant again.

⏫ SanDisk raises SSD prices

American SSD maker SanDisk sharply increased prices across its lineup.

Some models went up by as much as 4x.
A flagship 8TB SSD now costs over $2,500.

At that price point, the drive alone costs more than a full PC did not long ago.

🧪 OpenAI links GPT-5 to an autonomous lab and cuts protein costs by 40%

OpenAI connected GPT-5 to a fully autonomous laboratory. The setup reduced the cost of producing the sfGFP protein from $698 to $422 per gram.

Human involvement was limited to preparing reagents and monitoring.

GPT-5 designed experiment batches. The lab executed them. Results were fed back into the next cycle.

There were 6 iterations in total, covering 36,000 reaction compositions.

The system identified cheaper reaction mixes that had not been tested before. Protein yield increased by 27% after optimization.

This is a full closed-loop setup. At this stage, it is large-scale automated trial and error, but done faster and cheaper than manual lab work.

🤖 EPFL builds a robotic hand that breaks past human limits

EPFL engineers designed a robotic hand that does not copy human anatomy. It uses up to 6 identical fingers that bend in both directions. Any pair can form a pinch grip. There is no fixed palm or back.

The hand supports 33 human-style grasps and actions people cannot do. It can hold an object on the back of the hand while manipulating another. Two outer fingers can shift position and act as opposing thumbs from either side.

The hand can also detach and move on its own. Each finger works independently, letting it crawl into tight spaces. Lab head Aude Billard calls this “loco-manipulation”.

This is a shift from imitation to function-first robot design.

📍 Alleged OpenAI headphone ad sparks denial and buzz

A leaked-looking video surfaced on Reddit during the Super Bowl, showing actor Alexander Skarsgård wearing silver headphones while facing a mirrored device.

The post claimed to come from an OpenAI employee who said the ad was pulled at the last minute. The clip was later reposted by Alexis Ohanian.

OpenAI denied any involvement. Greg Brockman and the company’s PR and marketing leads called the video fake.

Online chatter framed it as a possible test balloon or guerrilla marketing attempt. Either way, the clip spread fast without a paid Super Bowl slot.
