   Good morning Legion. Our first story of the day is a company that everyone should have on their radars, because it's a company working at the intersection of humanoid robots and AI model training. Mechanized work has a very insightful blog on technological determinism.

   In other words, why we should all prepare for the rapid automation of many industrial processes and how best to prepare for this new era of AI dominance. It's a fun read with a couple of questionable assumptions, but still interesting all the same.

   Next up, the CEO of Google himself, Sundar, showcasing how AI put forward a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists actually experimentally validated in living cells. Experts and I often say the motto stay alive for the next ten years is accurate.

   Well, it's already becoming evident just how fast AI is going to be transforming medicine, molecular biology, and probably even fundamental physics itself in a very short period of time. Our final story of the day has to do with those who are fans of prediction markets.

   ForecastBench has a series of baselines for how competitive LLM models are becoming in matching human super forecasters, which means those humans who spend their time, energy and money forecasting future events. As the author writes on X, a linear extrapolation of state of the art LLM forecasting performance suggest that LLMs will match super forecasters in November of 2026, about a little over a year away.

   Now imagine how this will impact trading on prediction markets when an agent can rival some of the best human super forecasters. The future is coming fast, NEAR as well positioned in its evolution most importantly, NEAR is going to be at the center of many of these AI applications of the future.

   Join the NEAR Legion today to start finding out why we'll do this all again real soon.
