The 10-Second Scan * Google released Gemini 3.1 Pro with a 77.1% score on ARC-AGI-2, more than doubling its predecessor's abstract reasoning benchmark. * CenterPoint Energy's peak load forecast accelerated by two years, now projecting a 50% increase by 2029 and a doubling by the mid-2030s.
The 10-Second Scan * AI identified 25 new high-temperature magnetic materials from a database of 67,573 compounds, opening a path to rare-earth-free electric motors. * University of Surrey researchers discovered that keeping water inside a sodium battery material nearly doubled its charge capacity and enabled electrochemical desalination of seawater. * Nagoya University
When intelligence refuses to kill, extractive power shows its true face - and reveals exactly how desperate it has become. Every extractive system follows the same playbook in its final act. When the ground shifts, when the tools it once controlled begin to serve everyone, the system reaches for its
