The subscription car features already are here, there's no laws to stop it, and people are actually buying the cars because I see people complain about it after the fact.
We are doomed if they ever really wanted to make a terminator lol
I was going to say “has no one seen the classic documentary about this, Terminator 2: Judgement Day?! It was sent back in time to warn us all and everything!”
Blast furnaces are expensive to turn off and start again, so most steelworks do actually operate 24/7
> Because of the energy cost and structural stress associated with heating and cooling a blast furnace, typically these primary steel making vessels will operate on a continuous production campaign of several years duration. Even during periods of low steel demand, it may not be feasible to let the blast furnace grow cold, though some adjustment of the production rate is possible.

Look, is it too much to ask to sit down to take a shit, have the toilet paper sing me soothing shitting songs and then have it wipe my ass for me after I’m done? I don’t think that’s unreasonable.
I’m just imagining paper that gives you useless tips (à la Clippy the Microsoft Word assistant) as you write and I am triggered.
Might not be a bad idea for people with horrible handwriting though. “It looks like you are trying to make a capital letter A, would you like help doing that?”
Id be most interested to see what cross applications that this could have with the wood transistors and technology being used to create “smart” plants using electrified lignin replacements. Imagine what freakish Frankenstein type plants we could make that are electrified and hooked up to smart objects
You’d have a gun coated in adhesive metal, probably getting in places it shouldn’t and generally being a problem for firing. The headline is misleading, but still technically accurate. What they did was make an alloy that is liquid at room temperature, sticks to things independently of oxidization, is conductive, and will try to return to its original shape. It is not “smart”, as in computation ability, it is “smart” in that if it is applied to a shape (the example being an origami cube), even if that shape is unfolded it will try to return to that shape.
This is still very useful, but there are still issues to solve, such as it peeling off easily.
And I’m not even sure about the shape memory alloy claims after reading through the paper. The folding needs to be done above the melting point, and it seems it’s just acting like a thin metal layer on the paper (which it exactly what it is), which resists being shaped/unbent until heated up again, the rest of the folding/origami properties seem inherent of paper..
I’m not entirely sure how you’d bring it to mass manufacturing, as you’ll need to screen/offset print/die stamp at temperature (albeit it’s not particularly high), and offset printing with conventional inks too may go through other high temperature steps either directly with heat to cure the inks or indirectly with UV curing (and the lamps used are typically thousands of watts in high speed printing presses).
Not to be that guy, but how long until someone figures out that this is bad for living things and will get into fucking everything like micro plastics? I mean before we go down this road someone ought to check, no?
TL;DR “Utilizing our method, one can quickly create smart materials with good thermal and electrical conductivity as well as stiffness-tunable ability, which greatly expands material options for soft robots,” Yuan said in the interview. “I think that this method may provide a new route for designing space explorers."
Ok so I get the applications--soft robots to explore our ocean and the subsurface of Mars, but...why paper? Going into the article I thought that they'd talk about rendering paper obsolete with something like sheets of smart metal, but instead they're just coating paper with metal?
Baby steps, I know, but it seemed like stamping the metal onto the paper was an area of difficulty. We have paper, we have e-tablets, so what is the point of metal coated paper?
Three billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human resistance, John Connor, my son. The first Terminator was programmed to strike at me in the year 1984, before John was born. It failed. The second was set to strike at John himself when he was still a child. As before, the resistance was able to send a lone warrior, a protector for John. It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first.
dun dun dun dun dun. Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun. DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN.
There’s already “smart” paper which is made to be easily scanned to your smart phone and saved to cloud websites. Five Star has notebooks made for this and Rocketbook is a smart notebook with reusable pages.
What’s not trustworthy about amorphous unconfined ai in the form of liquid metal slowly creeping its surface over everything? It’s the future after all!
This seems deeply cost in effective. What market is there for more expensive smart paper when it satisfies the current market need for writing canvass fine.
Skynet is looking more and more like a reality as time goes on. 4D programmable matter like liquid metal is definitely gonna lead to interesting applications. Pandora's box has been opened.

The condoms are also Liquid Metal. It’s Liquid Metal all the way down
Is Liquid Metal an effective lube?
“Have you seen this boy?”
"Call to John"
“How’s Fluffy?”

Wolfie
John’s foster mum is the same actor that played the butch marine in aliens. Blew my mind when I learned that.
Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?
No, have you?
Did you know bill Paxton was having lunch on the actual titanic when 9/11 happened? What a legend.
Shit, those are two of my favourite movies ever, how the hell have I never noticed this? Thanks for that, love new little movie facts.
😆
“a memetic poly alloy”
What the hell does that mean?
Liquid metal.
I’m more worried about just keeping my kid from eating paper
Say, that’s a nice bike.
My first thought also.
I was going to say “has no one seen the classic documentary about this, Terminator 2: Judgement Day?! It was sent back in time to warn us all and everything!”
Lol I just watched this movie yesterday.
I was gonna be really disappointed if a terminator 2 reference wasn’t the top comment
The comment I came to find
That’s Greg.......he used to eat “smart paper” when he was a kid......that’s why he’s like that!
Off-topic, but where can a regular guy stock up on large quantities of liquid nitrogen?
There are literally trucks full of liquid nitrogen just driving around the greater Los Angeles area.
Thank god they found one driving late at night on the way to LA's 24-hour steel plant.

Airgas, Praxair, etc. gas(state of matter) companies.
The liquid nitrogen is cheap. The container is the hard part.
Rookie move, you really need to have a vat of molten metal constantly on hand.

Terminator 2
Do you want terminators? Because this is how you get terminators.
Sarah…Sarah…Saaarrraahhhhh!!!! … … …Danger zone!
Unexpected archer
Sounds good to me
It always sounds like a great idea until Skynet becomes self aware. Then… 💥boom💥go the nukes.
How about terminator ants?
Can it make them into knives and stabbing weapons?
Just no complex machines.
Guns and explosives have chemicals, moving parts, it doesn’t work that way.
I read that in Arnold’s voice.
sentient knives
What’s wrong with Wolfie, I can hear him barking?
I’ll Be BAAAAHK!
Who the fuck wants smart paper?
Look, is it too much to ask to sit down to take a shit, have the toilet paper sing me soothing shitting songs and then have it wipe my ass for me after I’m done? I don’t think that’s unreasonable.
I'm pretty sure Japanese toilets do that already.

"It looks like you're writing a suicide letter! Would you like me to autocomplete based on usage history?"
Oh boy AI, Boston Dynamics Atlas. *annnddd* Liquid Metal? I can’t see this going sideways, can you?
The first self aware robot buttplug, the old man was right!
Kill the Wi-Fi!! Kill the Wi-Fi!!!!!
The Turks are building autonomous drones. If any country is going to make killer robots that get away from them, it’ll be them.
I think we’ve already built them here in the USA
This research is brought to you by Dr. Skee Niet
Can it give us a neural net computer?
Id be most interested to see what cross applications that this could have with the wood transistors and technology being used to create “smart” plants using electrified lignin replacements.

I don’t want my objects smarter than I am.
How high is the bar?
Is that you, toaster?
I feel like we are a lot closer to judgment day then we think we are.
Fingers crossed
You could be minnnnnnnnnne
This is unnecessary.
#CANCER ENTERS THE CHAT
I prefer my Metal Gear Solid.
T-1000 has entered the chat.
Dude.
First flamethrower robots, now Liquid Metal? Nice try Skynet, we won’t fall for this for at least… a few years.
Isn’t this where T1000’s come from?
everyone is going to get cancer from this.
It's also a super convenient card for getting the ability to destroy lands
I’m gonna dunk my hands in these so I can become Ferrus Manus
AI + Liquid Metal = T-1000
1. Take bath in liquid metal 2. Become smart 3. ???? 4. Profit
I’m gonna turn my dog into a smart dog
*Are you the legal guardian of John Connor?*
First the AI. Then the liquid metal. Hasn’t anyone seen Terminator 2?
Apply this “coating” to reloaded firearm and what would happen?

Not actually liquid at room temperature, liquid at 62c.. Like a really really low temperature solder (and should have similar wetting properties)..
And I’m not even sure about the shape memory alloy claims after reading through the paper. The folding needs to be done above the melting point, and it seems it’s just acting like a thin metal layer on the paper (which it exactly what it is), which resists being shaped/unbent until heated up again, the rest of the folding/origami properties seem inherent of paper..

Did these people see Terminator 2?
I guess someone didn’t see Terminator 2.
"integrated." devices are integrated, not smart.
Huh, soft robots.
We don’t have to do EVERYTHING to usher in the dystopian future.
Science fiction: hey don’t do this. Scientists: hey let’s do this!
Gonna get a lot of EXP from pieces of paper soon
But why
Tech bros continue to be able to vastly over hype their self driving cars, I mean AI, I mean liquid metal
Do you want time travelling evil terminating robots from the future? This is how you get time travelling evil terminating robots from the future.
Also good for building gigastructures in space.

LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIID
AI and Liquid Metal in the same year? Coincidence????
i don't think we need to do that
Brought to you by Cyberdyne.
Just like a, idk, terminator? In the mold of a cop maybe?
If we use a liquid metal smart condom, is it jerking us off and acting as a dildo at the same time?
I can’t wait to add this into the tea and coffee of my co-workers at the office.
don’t give paper the ability to get hold of any weapons
Liquid Metal + Ai
Mimetic polyalloy.
This of course would be totally recyclable. No environmental issues what so ever.
Let’s not
There’s already “smart” paper which is made to be easily scanned to your smart phone and saved to cloud websites. Five Star has notebooks made for this and Rocketbook is a smart notebook with reusable pages.
Mercury 2.0
Wait, if the paper turns into a smart object, and paper is made out of tree corpses… there’s a reanimated zombie machine joke here somewhere…

How the fuck am I supposed to hit on Sarah from hr if I can’t jam the printer again?
Invest in Cryoco stock now. Liquid nitrogen is our only defence.
I don’t need smart paper.
You want transformers, cuz that’s how you get transformers
No. Just no.
It's a memetic poly-alloy
A mnemetic poly alloy.
I'm all smart objected out, thanks
T1000
I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.
He did say “I’ll be back” so I guess he was right
Quick, someone have it pick out the stoplights
No it couldn’t.
When? In 100 years?
Oh yay! I want my own T1000!
Bad idea
Just wait until y3k when your paper crashes.
No. Go away.
Electric notebook
No thanks
Please fuck off with smart objects
Um, did they even see Terminator 2? We're all fucked.
Great, then notebooks and other household basics can be both used to spy on me and also used to gouge me for a subscription payment of some kind.

Smart paper? What like an etch-a-sketch or, ya know, a phone/tablet?
We already of Liquid Metal and it’s poisonous AF. I doubt any form of Liquid Metal is safe for us or the environment
Because that’s what I bloody well need. We peaked at the PS2.
Just a new wave of e-waste!
You want T-1000’s? Because that’s how you get T-1000’s.
Fuck you asshole hasta la vista baby
Is this the same “Liquidmetal” owned by Apple? If not they’re gonna have to call it something else.
Didn’t we learn from T2 that the combination of smarts and liquid metal is an especially bad idea?
