The Emerging Science of Finding Critical Metals | Mfikeyi Makayi | TED
Your smartphone, computer and electric car all depend on one thing — critical minerals buried deep underground. But there’s a catch: the mining industry has gotten dramatically worse at discovering new deposits just when we need them most, says mining innovator Mfikeyi Makayi. She introduces new AI-powered technology that could fix this problem by predicting…

Why Snowflake is no longer just a data warehouse
Snowflake is betting that the future of AI isn’t just analyzing data, it’s acting on it. That means a shift away from chatbots and toward autonomous agents that can actually get work done. And Snowflake is reorganizing fast to keep up, from shipping hundreds of AI features to restructuring teams along the way. On this…

The Experiment That Tried to Weigh the Human Soul
It’s a little complicated to weigh a dying person on a hospital bed, but that didn’t deter Duncan MacDougall. In the early 20th century, MacDougall’s unique bed-scale detected that 21 grams left the human body at the moment of death. He had finally discovered it: the weigh of the human soul … or so he…

Fascinating to see AI moving from data centers to the depths of the Earth. Predictive exploration like this could mark a turning point where tech directly supports environmental responsibility.

If AI is involved as well greedy corporations there will be exploitation and slavery involved, not including the destruction of the environment as well the pollution it leaves behind. 😢😢😢😢

Okay. First the word problem. Pottery is a form of china. China just refers to dust or clay. Phonetically clay refers to adhesion. From clay you make pottery with the right dust it becomes ceramics when heat treated. The other dust makes the color like salts and metals. From there you make crystals, conductors and insulators of charge (which is the free energy we call power.) Once you have wire, now you need magnets. Magnets usually come from iron dust, but you may want something exotic to fit somewhere (small/between.)

AI has always been something sketchy, mostly because of how overhyped it was and of how many of its highlighted uses generally amounted to substituting human intelligence and skills. However, this and its use in early detection of cancer are one of the few times I’ve seen humanity take this new tool, something wondrous and not turn it into a complete joke.

We need 400+ new mines, yet the industry is 10x worse at finding deposits. The genius here is using AI to stop chasing one answer. Instead of ignoring the “infinite number of possibilities,” you drill where you’re most uncertain to eliminate possibilities. I’m applying this data-driven focus to the perfect storytelling videos launching soon on @BeBrillio. What decision in your life are you currently making by ignoring uncertainty?

Coming away from this. You would think mining is good for the environment. 😂

Can artificial intelligence change the current situation where developed countries exploit poorer ones?
It will only redistribute the already meager profits to Nvidia and other tech companies.

This is such a powerful perspective. 🌍 It’s easy to forget that everything around us — from our phones to our future technologies — begins with the earth itself. The call for innovation in mining isn’t just about resources; it’s about responsibility, sustainability, and the courage to look deeper, literally and figuratively. The future of a circular economy starts with smarter discovery.

I think we should be looking for better ways to stabilizes the earth than exploration for more resources from earth.
