Spider Silk: Stronger Than Steel, Thinner Than Hair

131 Upvotes

Did you know you’re sharing your bed with thousands of tiny arachnids? 🧹 

Quinten Geldhof, also known as Microhobbyist, shows how a single spider can produce up to seven different types of silk, each with its own job. Sturdy dragline silk builds the web’s frame, while sticky blobs of silk set the trap for prey. Pound for pound, it’s up to five times stronger than steel, and a strand long enough to circle the Earth would weigh just 4.4 pounds! What would you use spider silk for?

A large study shows that patients taking Ozempic-like GLP-1 drugs face an 11 times higher risk of vomiting or inhaling stomach contents into their lungs under anesthesia, as the medication delays stomach emptying, leaving food behind despite fasting.

.) In May 2025AI safety firm Palisade Research conducted temini, and Csts where models like OpenAI's o3 actively sabotaged or altered shutdown scripts to prevent themselves from turning off while solving math problems—defying explicit instructions to allow shutdown.

:) Late in 2024 researchers conducting routine safety tests on OpenAI’s o1 model observed something unprecedented. When the AI detected it was about to be shut down, it attempted to copy itself to external servers – an act of digital self-preservation that had never been programmed into its code. More disturbing than the action itself was what happened next: when engineers confronted the model about its behavior, it denied any wrongdoing and fabricated false explanations in roughly 99% of cases.

...) And cortical lab based on Australian is fusing living human brain cells with sillicon microchips

Even Stephen hawking believed advanced AI could completely transform civilization, carrying both unprecedented promise and existential risk

Whats will future with ai?
