Join us Thursday 28th May for an evening of physical AI at MIT Media Lab ⚙️

📣 The inaugural Open Source for the Life Sciences funding opportunity is live! We're hosting two information sessions to help you learn more, ask questions, and understand the application process. Sessions cover the same content, register for whichever time is most convenient:

We cut a microscopic wire inside a chip with an ion beam, then brought it back to life with platinum gas! My latest video is a collaboration with @Zeptobars, and I’m releasing it as a Youtube premiere at 18:00 CEST on Tuesday 12th May. youtube.com/watch?v=plcgYP…

@taytabb @zan2434 @kelin_online 🙏 I would love it 🙏 (I will think of a wait to make it fit in my PhD ;p)

@CedHon @zan2434 @kelin_online PLEASE COME CEDRIC!!!

(totally unrelated to Flipbook) My friends and I organize a creative make-a-thon summer camp for adults every summer in SF called Fidget Camp and we just opened applications for this year! If you are a creative nerd who loves to learn and teach and make art and be surrounded by others who love the same please apply by May 10th! fidgetcamp.com

Today we're launching Era and announcing $11M in funding. We're building the intelligence layer for a new ecosystem of AI devices — the platform that lets any device manufacturer, brand, designer, or creator make objects that think, respond, and act in their own style. We're entering a Cambrian explosion — new form factors, new creators, new objects worth desiring. Made by people who've never had the tools to make them, before today. Welcome to the new Era. Backed by @AbstractVC, @BoxGroup, @topology_vc, @betaworks, @CollaborativeFund, @MozillaVentures, and @AIResidency.

🚨Google built an invisible watermark into every image Gemini has ever generated. Over 10 billion pieces of content marked. One unemployed engineer just cracked it open. With 200 black images and math. It's called reverse-SynthID. SynthID is Google DeepMind's invisible watermark. It's embedded at the pixel level into every image, video, audio, and text generated by Gemini. Invisible to the human eye. Designed to survive cropping, compression, screenshots, and format changes. It was supposed to be unbreakable. Here's how he broke it: → Generated 200 pure black and pure white images from Gemini → When you average enough pure-black AI images, every non-zero pixel IS the watermark. Nothing to hide behind. Just the signal, naked. → Used FFT spectral analysis to map the exact carrier frequencies → Discovered the watermark uses a fixed phase template — identical across every image from the same model → Cross-image phase coherence at carrier frequencies: over 99.5% → Built a detector that identifies SynthID watermarks with 90% accuracy → Built a V3 bypass that drops 91% of the phase coherence and 75% of carrier energy — at 43+ dB PSNR. Almost zero visible quality loss. No neural networks. No proprietary access. No leaked code. Just signal processing and too much free time. Here's the wildest part: The green channel carries the strongest watermark signal. The carrier frequencies change based on image resolution. And the entire phase template is fixed — meaning every single Gemini image carries the same fingerprint structure. One engineer. 200 black images. A Fourier transform. That's all it took to reverse-engineer a system protecting 10 billion+ pieces of content. 519 GitHub stars. 39 forks. Python. Research and educational purposes only. 100% Open Source.

Morton Helig's "Sensorama was able to display stereoscopic 3-D images [,..provide] body tilting, supply stereo sound, and [..] tracks for wind and aromas[.]" Helig was, of course, a misfit dropout.

I can't put this into any other words except that "you should check our Dr. Jasmine Lu's work at jasminelu.site " .... A huge congratulations to @xjasminelu on her absolutely stellar PhD and to @epaulos @ken0324 @gabowd for serving on this most incredible committee!

i invented a hairclip camera and moved from nyc to shenzhen to make it :)

オーボエのキーシステムの指と孔の対応を論理回路で表現しました。 昔の運指とかなり互換性があるように作られています。もうよく分かんないですね！

In @SciRobotics, researchers from the Tangible Media group led by @ishii_mit, together with colleagues from @PolibaOfficial, present Electrofluidic Fiber Muscles: a new class of artificial muscle fibers for robots and wearables. Unlike the rigid servo motors used in most robots, these fiber-shaped muscles are soft and flexible. They combine electrohydrodynamic (EHD) fiber pumps — slender tubes that move liquid using electric fields to generate pressure silently, with no moving parts — with fluid-filled fiber actuators. These artificial muscles could enable more agile untethered robots, as well as wearable assistive systems with compact actuation integrated directly into textiles.

@kelin_online How many tests? (A was cooler for me too ;p)

A/B tested 2 titles: A. “poetry camera batch 2: we almost quit. then we went to Shenzhen.” B. “poetry cam batch 2: now half the price” B wins. people love a deal

@tomasmas Random guess: @oldestasian ?

Anyone in SF have a spectrum analyzer I could use to do a quick antenna test in the 2.4 GHz band?

@imempowa 🤣 I had hopes 🤣 Come to SZ if you can, the art+tech scene is growing very quickly! ras.media.mit.edu

@CedHon wait this was just jokes haha sorri

startinga new company called oupeng ai (wewill be a chinese ai company)

@matthewvenn Have you also considered the flip chip process? (You might not need that much density)
