A drone or a submarine? 🫧
A student just built a drone that flies through the air and swims underwater — and it actually works.
As part of his Bachelor’s project, Andrei Copaci created a 3D-printed, hybrid drone with variable pitch propellers, meaning the blades shift mid-flight to adapt between air and water.
Just a laptop, a printer, and a smart idea.
The drone is fully custom-coded and transitions seamlessly between flying and swimming.
We're entering a new era, where curious students can prototype what once took massive funding and R&D efforts.

agree with lots of what jensen has been saying about ai and jobs; there is a ton of stuff to do in the world.
people will
1) do a lot more than they could do before; ability and expectation will both go up
2) still care very much about other people and what they do
3) still be very driven by creating and being useful to others
for sure jobs will be very different, and maybe the jobs of the future will look like playing games to us today while still being very meaningful to those people of the future. (people of the past might say that about us.)
betting against human's ability to want more stuff, find new ways to play status games, ability to find new methods for creative expression, etc is always a bad bet. maybe human money and machine money will be totally different things, who knows, but we have a LOT of main character energy.
more to come.

Here's my conversation with Roman Yampolskiy (@romanyam), AI safety researcher who believes that the chance of AGI eventually destroying human civilization is 99.9999%.
I will continue to chat with many AI researchers & engineers, most of whom put p(doom) at <20%, but it's important to balance those technical conversations by understanding the long-term existential risks of AI. This was a terrifying and fascinating discussion.
It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.
