"Orca" is the U.S NAVY's first large-scale AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle)

Run silent, run deep.

In images, the U.S. Navy's full-scale automatic submarine uses diesel-electric engine systems. But it's possible. Some drone submarines can be equipped with nuclear reactors. Nuclear Nuclear-powered drone submarines are not impossible to make.

The submarine is an excellent platform for AI-driven automatized driving and weapon systems. The submarine is closed, normally, quite large, and capable of using nuclear power. That means submarines can carry supercomputers that can run complicated code. Years there have been rumors that some full-scale submarines operate under AI-controlled algorithms without the need for any humans on board. Those rumors about fully automatized, nuclear-powered, drone submarines are not confirmed, but the submarine would be an excellent platform also for powerful supercomputers, as I wrote earlier.

The "Orca" is the next-generation robot submarine created by Boeing-company. The highly versatile artificial intelligence that is connected with weapon control makes "Orca" one of the most powerful. And interesting tools in the navies. The drone submarine can be the response to the Russian Status-6 Multipurpose Ocean System (MOS). That nuclear-powered torpedo can patrol underwater. The detonation of the 100 mt. hydrogen bombs can destroy large land areas. The underwater nuclear detonation can create a tsunami, and the pressure can travel years in the underwater canyons with power, that can destroy even a submarine's hull.

The unmanned systems are problematic. Their operational time is virtually unlimited. And things like the crew's nutrients are not limiting the operational time. The AI-controlled hunter-killer drone submarines can follow the Status-6 or suspected Status-6 systems. And when they detect that thing, the automatized systems can open fire and try to knock out those doomsday torpedoes. The fact is that the Orca itself could carry a similar underwater nuke with Status 6. The thing is that the AI-controlled hunter-killer submarines can shoot torpedoes and missiles against hostile targets. But those systems can also carry internal weapons that they detonate near enemy harbors.

In pictures "Orca" carries only mines. And its diesel-electric system. But in crisis, that kind of submarine can carry other weapon systems. And maybe there are plans to create a nuclear-powered version of "Orca". Also Royal Navy has a full-scale robot submarine project called "Manta". That project is the testbed for similar technology developed for "Orca". The submarine is one of the most secretive weapon systems in the world.

Those dark cigars that patrol unseen in seas do not tell their position to outsiders. In the military world, the operators and builders of those systems tell only what they must tell. And that makes those systems mysterious to outsiders. So "Orca" and other underwater drone systems can be more deadly than nobody thought. Complicated AI. Along with highly advanced technology and high automatization. Makes those submarines unknown also for their operators.

The new bendable sensor is like straight from the SciFi movies.

"Researchers at Osaka University have developed a groundbreaking flexible optical sensor that works even when crumpled. Using carbon nanotube photodetectors and wireless Bluetooth technology, this sensor enables non-invasive analysis and holds promise for advancements in imaging, wearable technology, and soft robotics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, From Sci-Fi to Reality: Scientists Develop Unbreakable, Bendable Optical Sensor) The new sensor is like the net eye of bugs. But it's more accurate than any natural net eye. The system is based on flexible polymer film and nanotubes. The nanotubes let light travel through it. And then the film at the bottom of those tubes transforms that light into the image. This ultra-accurate CCD camera can see ultimate details in advanced materials. The new system can see the smallest deviation in the materials. And that thing makes it possible to improve safety on those layers. The ability to see ultra-small differences on surf

Quantum breakthrough: stable quantum entanglement at room temperature.

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems. When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

Humans should be at the center of AI development.

"Experts advocate for human-centered AI, urging the design of technology that supports and enriches human life, rather than forcing humans to adapt to it. A new book featuring fifty experts from over twelve countries and disciplines explores practical ways to implement human-centered AI, addressing risks and proposing solutions across various contexts." (ScitechDaily, 50 Global Experts Warn: We Must Stop Technology-Driven AI) The AI is the ultimate tool for handling things that behave is predictable. Things like planets' orbiting and other mechanical things that follow certain natural laws are easy things for the AI. The AI might feel human, it can have a certain accent. And that thing is not very hard to program. It just requires the accent wordbook, and then AI can transform grammatically following text into text with a certain accent. Then the AI drives that data to the speech synthesizer. The accent mode follows the same rules as language translation programs. The ac
