    "World’s first cockroach diving suit actually works

    A cyborg cockroach survived up to three hours underwater with an experimental new oxygen tank.

    The next time an ambitious adventurer gets trapped in a flooded cave, the person coming to their rescue might not be a human at all. It might be a mind-controlled, diving-suit-wearing cockroach. Sorry, entomophobes.

    These cyborgs are already being used in search-and-rescue operations and pipeline inspections, but so far those efforts have been limited to dry land. That’s changing. Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore 3D-printed a flexible diving suit that roaches wear like a backpack. A chemical oxygen generator inside of it creates oxygen when the bug swims underwater and pumps it through tubes connected to the spiracles the roach uses to breathe. In testing, the cyborg roach was able to move around and breathe underwater for up to three hours. That added ability could make the critters much more viable for longer search-and-rescue operations."

  3. The new #heman #motu #movie may not have set box offices aflame, but I very much liked it. And this track fucking rocks. This gives me fuel to write my own upcoming apocalyptic novel where heroic #cyborgs and #teens with special powers fight crazed #cultists trying to bring about #armageddon by #cloning the #beast of #revelation. Yes, I want to mash together #endtimes #prophecy with #1980s Saturday morning #cartoons set to a soundtrack of vaporwave and glam metal.

  5. An example I made for my Halloween sale, wherein I depicted various meme animals in Halloween costumes or transformed into a creature, and would do so for your own pet. For this I enlisted a couple of friends to generate a few descriptive words to apply to the base memes. As you can see, Tsundere Shark has become a Cyborg.

  6. I saw something recently about how we're "already cyborgs" because we outsource memory and calculations and stuff to computers and…

    Does that mean that we've not really been "just human" for thousands of years? We've actually been human/animal hybrids for thousands of years since we started riding horses to improve our movement speed and started training dogs to perform herding tasks for us? 🧐

    (We've presumably then spent a few thousand years being human/animal/reading material hybrids since we started writing things down on stone and then paper!)

  8. Writing my #Christmas #romance #novel has made me realize that all of my #MarySue #wishfulfillment #powerfantasy dreams involve having the luxury to offer #charity to those in need, strengthening #community bonds, and finding a #thirdplace for teenagers to hang out with in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. There's also #cyborgs and #catgirls, but we can't all be #CharlesDickens.

  12. #005 – Más allá del cementerio

    Hace 35 años. Año 2477. Sector A1. Neo-cementerio de Bilbao. Artxanda.Quietud en el cementerio. El enfriamiento del suelo había levantado una densa, aunque estrecha, cortina de niebla. Apenas quedaba nadie. Los pájaros entonaban las últimas notas melancólicas del atardecer.Dos sombras se acercaban a una tumba construida hace solo dos años. Ahí descansaba lo poco que se pudo encontrar del cuerpo de una mujer. De una madre.El pequeño Erlantz llevaba las flores. Eran de color rosa y […]

  17. About This Account
    This is the alt-account for Michael Collins (
    @[email protected]) dedicated specifically to my writing. You won’t find porn or pictures here. This space is for news, links, and updates about the stories I’ve written and the ones I’m currently working on.

    A Little Background
    I wrote my first story 26 years ago. It was the beginning of something I called
    The Michael Collins Anthology, which was essentially a fictional autobiography. It wasn’t good. It objectively sucked. But I loved the story itself, and I still do. I keep telling myself that one day I’ll rewrite it or write a sequel. Maybe I actually will.

    I am not a professional author, and I don’t pretend to be one. I don’t think my stories are good enough to sell, and part of that is practical: I can’t justify paying for professional editing and proofreading. That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy writing. I do, and I’ve kept doing it anyway.

    Some of my work is posted elsewhere as well.

    On Writing and AI
    I don’t write with AI. I do, however, sometimes use AI as a tool while writing, specifically to help identify plot holes, character inconsistencies, and continuity issues. In other words, the kind of things a proofreader might catch while proofreading.

    If that bothers you, I’m sorry. You are, of course, welcome to volunteer as my editor or proofreader instead.

    What I Write
    I write the stories I’m interested in.

    That often means science fiction, and if those science fiction stories include sex, so be it. I’ve also tried writing straight-up erotica and am still working on getting better at that.

    More broadly, I tend to write stories I don’t see other people writing... stories that stretch boundaries, explore uncomfortable or underrepresented ideas, and focus on characters that feel real and relatable rather than idealized.

    If You’re Interested
    If any of this sounds appealing, you’re welcome to read my work at
    https://mjcwrites.net.

    You can also follow me here for updates on what I’m currently working on and what I’ve finished.

    Thanks for reading.

  18. While working on my latest novel about #cyborgs and #cultists, I came up with a side plot idea. A character in the book is directing a #musical based on George Bernard Shaw's #pygmalion. It's a modern retelling about a haughty #AI #startup founder betting a #techbro billionaire that he could turn the #llm he wrote to be a #chatbot for a florist shop into a machine capable of solving any human problem. The name of the play is "My Fair AGI." This almost sounds cooler than the novel I was writing.

    Nos trae una historia con #tropos y #antitropos:

    ✨ Futuro distópico
    ✨ Cyborgs
    ✨ Lovers to enemies
    ✨ Inteligencia Artificial
    ✨ Cumplir una promesa

    👀 La ilustración evoca dos fuerzas enfrentadas, un corazón roto hecho de electricidad, la tensión entre la lealtad y la ruptura. ¿Qué historia se esconde tras esa promesa?

    👉 Te toca a ti: ¿De qué crees que trata este relato? ¿Qué discapacidad piensas que aparecerá representada?
    Déjame tu teoría en los comentarios.

  21. Dominique Leclerc embarks on a thought-provoking journey into the cutting-edge world of #cyborgs , #biohackers and #transhumanists —a collective pushing the boundaries of #technology to defy illness, aging and even death. Having relied on #medical devices for years, Leclerc seeks alternative solutions to cope with her diabetes, but as she delves deeper, she grapples with the profound ethical, social and political implications of human enhancement. What happens when our physical and cognitive upgrades are shaped by the interests of tech giants? Led by Frannie Holder’s haunting original score, Posthumans offers a compelling meditation on the future of our species and the cost of progress.

    📚🎙️ The Hybrid Species — When Technology Becomes Human, and Humans Become Technology

    A fresh transmission from my Musing On Society and Technology newsletter:

    We used to build machines to serve us.

    Now we build them to complete us.

    So… what happens when the line between us and them disappears?

    This is the follow-up to my Robbie piece — where #Asimov made us wonder if trust could be earned by a robot that didn’t even speak.

    Well, now the machines do speak. They pretend to understand us. And we pretend they do, too.

    But here’s the twist: maybe we’re not just surrounded by machines — maybe we’re slowly becoming one. Or better yet: when carbon and silicon don’t just coexist, but converge… maybe something new is emerging.

    A hybrid species.

    Not science fiction — just evolution, with a bit of attitude.

    No panic. No utopia either. Just me thinking out loud, wondering what’s coming — and whether we’re wise enough to carry the best of ourselves into whatever comes next.

    No time to read? Let my AI companion TAPE3 read it to you — it’s got a voice and just enough sass to make it weirdly charming.

    👇 Newsletter link and audio version in the comments.

    If you find these musings worth your time, share them with someone who likes to think sideways. And follow both my newsletter and podcast — there’s a lot more where this came from. 🤘😬✨

    Cheers,

  26. .. I wondered about (LLM) Prompt Management, and had a long chat about it with _hild_ ... turns out, this is something MCP Server do nowadays, so I started working (w/ a little help from the LLMs) on implementing a MCP server that will provide a prompt library to be reused by different projects. If you want to follow along with the development, have a look at codeberg.org/b4mad/prompts This will take a shot at 'liftcycle management of prompt libraries (as software components)'
