Post-Humans of All Tomorrows-3D Size Comparison

In All Tomorrows by C. M. Kosemen, also known as Nemo Ramjet, humanity’s distant descendants are reshaped across millions of years into wildly divergent “post-human” species after being genetically engineered by the godlike alien Qu. These forms range from tiny, almost vermin-like organisms and sessile, colony-bound beings to aquatic leviathans, aerial gliders, and towering, heavily built giants as each adapted to extreme planetary environments and radically different evolutionary pressures. Some retain echoes of recognizable humanity, while others are so transformed they blur the line between animal, ecosystem, and living architecture. In this size comparison, we’ll explore the full spectrum of these post-human forms, from the smallest engineered remnants to the most massive macro-organic descendants.

Engineered CAR-NK cells appear more ‘attack-ready’

Researchers at the Ribeirao Preto Blood Center and the Center for Cell-Based Therapy (CTC) conducted a study using the NK-92 cell line to test new models of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) with specific costimulatory domains, such as 2B4 and DAP12. The tests showed that these components helped make the cells “ready to attack,” thereby increasing their ability to destroy tumors. The results were published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology.

The CTC is one of the Research, Innovation, and Dissemination Centers (RIDCs) supported by FAPESP. It is based at the Ribeirao Preto Blood Center and is linked to the general and teaching hospital (“Hospital das Clínicas”) of the Ribeirao Preto Medical School of the University of São Paulo (FMRP-USP).

CAR-based cell therapies are revolutionizing cancer treatment, especially for hematological tumors. However, although it is already known which components work best in CAR-T cells, many questions remain about which intracellular signals make CAR-NK cells more effective.

Artificial intelligence in medicine: How it works, how it fails

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, with large language models emerging as important tools for clinical practice, education, and research. To use it safely and effectively, healthcare professionals need to understand how it works, and how it fails. Using practical clinical examples, the authors explain the subset of AI called large language models, highlighting their capabilities and their limitations.

Key Points

  • AI is trained on vast amounts of data, which can itself be biased, leading to biased results.

The Deflationary Singularity: Why Everything is Going to ZERO w/ Salim Ismail

The rapid advancement of technologies, particularly AI, is driving the world towards an economic singularity where the marginal cost of essentials approaches zero, leading to a deflationary future and a potential transformation of traditional systems and societies ##

## Questions to inspire discussion.

Education Transformation.

🎓 Q: How will AI reduce education time while improving effectiveness?

A: AI will customize education to each child’s learning style, reducing daily learning time to 1 hour per day while delivering 5 times more effective learning compared to traditional methods, with costs falling to zero within 3–5 years and breaking the university industry that currently creates massive student debt.

Healthcare Revolution.

Why the Past Still Exists | Leonard Susskind

We usually think of the past as something that no longer exists. It happened — and then it disappeared. But modern physics challenges this intuition in a profound way.

In this video, we explore why the past may still exist — not as memory, but as structure.

Drawing on ideas associated with Leonard Susskind, this documentary examines how relativity and modern spacetime physics reshape our understanding of time. In Einstein’s framework, there is no universal “now.” What is past for one observer may be present or future for another, depending on motion and frame of reference.

This destroys the idea that the past vanishes.

In the spacetime view, the universe is a four-dimensional structure. Events are not erased — they are located. The past is not something that disappeared. It is something that exists in a different region of spacetime.

From this perspective, time does not flow in the way we imagine. The sense of disappearance comes from human experience, not from fundamental physics.

Healthcare Access & Economics.

🏥 Q: How will Optimus robots change healthcare costs and accessibility?

A: Optimus surgeon robots will operate at costs limited to capital expenditure and electricity, enabling deployment in rural villages and developing countries like Zimbabwe and throughout Africa, demonetizing and decentralizing access to medical care that will exceed what presidents currently receive.

Technology Timeline & Capabilities.

Why Time Doesn’t Exist | Leonard Susskind

We experience time as something that flows. Seconds pass. Moments disappear. The future becomes the present and then turns into the past.

But modern physics does not describe time this way.

In this video, we explore why time — as we intuitively understand it — may not exist at the fundamental level of reality.

Drawing on ideas associated with Leonard Susskind, this documentary examines how relativity and quantum physics challenge the idea of a flowing temporal river. Einstein’s theory removes the notion of a universal present. There is no global “now” that sweeps across the universe.

Without a universal present, the idea of time flowing becomes difficult to define physically.

In the relativistic picture, spacetime is a four-dimensional structure. Events are not created moment by moment. They are embedded in geometry. The equations of physics do not contain a moving present. They describe relations between events.
