Wired reports on an AI-powered robot that laughs in the face of dismemberment, adapting to severe injuries across multiple bodies. Is this groundbreaking resilience or just building our future overlords with extra durability? What's your take on robots that *refuse* to quit?

Real time Earth scanning is quickly becoming reality. Satellites, drones, and sensor networks are watching forests, oceans, and cities around the clock. On the bright side, this gives us tools and insight we’ve never had before. Tracking wildfires as they start, monitoring glaciers as they melt, and following wildlife migrations in near real time. The planet becomes a living dashboard we can learn from and protect.

But constant observation cuts both ways. The same systems that track these things can also track people, movements, and behaviors. What helps scientists respond to disasters could also feed surveillance states or corporations hungry for data. A world where Earth is transparent could be safer for ecosystems, but far less private for humans.
