Intelligent metamaterials and metamaterials intelligence

*One of the strangest things I’ve ever seen in a NATURE publication. It’s very Chinese, but it reads like science from another planet. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-56122-3

Turinese Victorinox

Bing speculates about LLM manufacturing

What other manufacturing processes could benefit from LLM control? Here’s a tour through some manufacturing domains where LLMs could become the brains behind the brawn: Manufacturing Processes Ripe for LLM Integration 1. CNC Machining LLM Role: Interpret natural language specs into G-code, optimize tool paths, and suggest feed/speed adjustments based on material and tool wear. […]

Bing speculating about AI-controlled 3DPrinters

*If this isn’t actually an act of “speculation,” it certainly reads like speculation. What might a 3D printer fully controlled by LLMs look like? Imagine this: a 3D printer not just following orders—but conversing with you, adapting in real time, and learning from every print job like a seasoned artisan. Here’s a peek into what […]

*The various models were build by out-of-work aerospace engineers.

Engineer who invented an AI-powered way to restore art

*I rather expected this development.

Fidget dragons, print farms and drop shippers

3DPrinting is old enough for genuine popular jargon now. Also, it now has zero high-tech cachet.
