OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra ad envisions a dystopian future where a single person interacts with a screen to create everything—from Blender 3D models to games and meals—prompting backlash over its portrayal of creative labor, concerns Astra could conceal its reasoning or exploit vulnerabilities, questions about its cost and adoption, and blowback from Blender’s open‑source community for featuring artwork in the ad.
Scientists have been amazed by the discovery of the Antikythera mechanism, a 2,000-year-old astronomical calendar that is more technically sophisticated than any other tool invented over the next 1,000 years. The device, dubbed "the first computer," was discovered inside a Greek shipwreck in 1901 and is a hand-powered time-keeping instrument that used a wing-up system to track the sun, moon and planets' celestial time. Despite being in 82 separate fragments, 3D computer modelling has helped experts at University College London solve the mystery of how the device worked, revealing a "creation of genius."
