Big News! My New Audiobook The Intelligence Supernova is Now Live! đ§ Iâm thrilled to announce the release of the audiobook edition of The Intelligence Supernova: Essays on Cybernetic Transhumanism, the Simulation Singularity & the Syntellect Emergence. This project has been incredibly close to my heartâit dives deep into the unfolding convergence of advanced AI, consciousness, and our collective evolution beyond biology. In this book, I explore the concept of the âIntelligence Supernovaââa coming explosion of synthetic and post-biological intelligence that may soon give rise to a planetary-scale mind, the Syntellect. Itâs a philosophical and scientific journey that challenges you to imagine what lies beyond the Technological Singularity: digital immortality, mind-uploading, the emergence of infomorphs, and the architecture of a conscious Universe. This audiobook is for futurists, technophilosophers, and all curious minds ready to glimpse humanityâs metamorphic future. If youâre drawn to ideas like cybernetic immortality, experiential realism, or the Omega Point Cosmology, I think youâll find this work especially meaningful.

Black-hole solutions in quantum gravity with Vilkovisky-DeWitt effective action
Physicists propose that calculations of certain aspects of quantum gravity can currently be done even without a full theory of quantum gravity itself. Basically, they work backwards from the fact that quantum gravity on the macro scale must conform to Einsteinâs relativity theories. This approach is effective until the small scale of a black hole singularity is close.
(See my Comment below for an article link to POPULAR MECHANICS that discussed the scientific article in an accessible manner.
We study new black-hole solutions in quantum gravity. We use the Vilkovisky-DeWitt unique effective action to obtain quantum gravitational corrections to Einsteinâs equations. In full analogy to previous work done for quadratic gravity, we find new black-holeâlike solutions. We show that these new solutions exist close to the horizon and in the far-field limit.
Open House
Have you heard about the crazy guys who bought an entire tower to convert it into a vertical village? Yes, thatâs us.
Do you want to walk the 16-floor tower and explore the space? Still on the fence, if you should become a citizen? Do you have questions about how you can get involved and co-create? Wanna hear updates on what happened in the last 2 weeks? This event is for you! đ©âđ
About us: We are transforming a 16-floor tower in the heart of San Francisco into a self-governed vertical village âa hub for frontier technologies and creative arts. 8 themed floors will be dedicated to creating tier-one labs, spanning AI, Ethereum, biotech, neuroscience, longevity, robotics, human flourishing, and arts & music. These floors will house innovators and creators pushing the boundaries of human potential in a post-AI-singularity world.
From Mammoth Revival to Human Fertility with Dr. Eriona Hysolli | Singularity University
Join us for an exclusive 1-hour conversation with Dr. Eriona Hysolli, the visionary scientist bridging de-extinction technology and the future of human reproduction. Recognized by Time100 Next for her groundbreaking work reviving the woolly mammoth, Dr. Hysolli brings a unique perspective to reproductive biotechnology that you wonât find anywhere else.
In this informal Q&A session, weâll explore how cutting-edge technologies originally developed for species conservation are now revolutionizing human fertility treatments. Dr. Hysolli will share insights on:
The latest breakthroughs in synthetic embryos and artificial wombs.
How in vitro gametogenesis could transform infertility treatment.
Lessons from mammoth de-extinction that apply to human reproductive health.
The intersection of genome engineering and fertility solutions.
Near-term commercial applications in reproductive biotechnology.
Drawing from her pioneering work at Yale, George Churchâs lab at Harvard, and as Head of Biological Sciences at Colossal Biosciences, Dr. Hysolli offers a rare glimpse into technologies that could redefine human reproduction within the next decade.
The session will feature a moderated discussion followed by audience Q&A. Whether youâre an investor, entrepreneur, healthcare professional, or simply fascinated by the future of fertility, this conversation will provide essential insights into one of biotechnologyâs most promising frontiers.
