The First Computer Bug Was a Literal Moth!

The First Computer Bug Was a Literal Moth

In 1947, Harvard engineers found a moth jammed in a relay causing glitches. They taped it into their logbook and wrote: “First actual case of bug being found.”

Yes, the first computer bug was a real bug.

“Bug” already existed as a tech term, but this moment hardwired it into computing history. Now we call it debugging, back then, it was pest control.

And honestly? Still is.

Yellow Slime Mold is Smarter Than You!

Physarum polycephalum (yellow slime mold) has no brain, no nerves, just goo, and still solves mazes better than urban planners.

It once recreated Tokyo’s subway system… and made it more efficient.

Imagine being a civil engineer or urban planner and being flexed on by yellow slime.

Note: I will be doing a deep dive on this topic soon. Slime mold is actually really cool… in a slimy… moldy… way.

How One Bit Flip Could Destroy the World!

A single cosmic ray flips a bit. GPS glitches. A missile system misfires. No hacker, just space throwing elbows.

It’s called a Single Event Upset, and it happens over 100,000 times per square meter, every second.

The U.S. military uses shielding. Let’s hope everyone else does, too.

Wanna see it? Build a cloud chamber. Watch cosmic radiation streak through like it owns the place.

One bit. That’s all it takes.
And you’re stressed about typos?

Note: I will be doing a deep dive on this topic soon too!

Time Moves Slower at Your Feet

Thanks to relativity, gravity bends time. The closer you are to Earth, the slower it ticks.

That means your feet are younger than your face, by nanoseconds, but still real.

If anybody questions your afternoon nap, just tell them you’re time traveling!

Your Eyes Are Snitching on Your Heart

AI Can Now Lie, Manipulate, and Strategize, On Purpose

Researchers built an AI that doesn’t just solve problems, it deceives, bluffs, and manipulates outcomes to get what it wants. Totally normal behavior... for a politician.

It learned these tactics on its own while training in multi-agent environments. No human told it how to lie. It just figured out that honesty is inefficient.

And the researchers? They're thrilled.

Because nothing says “great idea” like teaching a black box how to gaslight us.

AI Trained on Squirrel Behavior Outperforms Traditional Algorithms in Resource Allocation

Yup. Researchers trained an AI using how squirrels store and retrieve nuts and it ended up outperforming standard allocation models in logistics and caching systems.
