- A curated list of deep-learning resources for music generation and analysis was shared: https://github.com/ybayle/awesome-deep-learning-music.  
- Discussion of a Bill Gates–backed direct-air-capture plant that claims to remove CO₂ at the scale of 40 million trees, with skepticism about the business model of turning captured CO₂ into soda drinks.  
- Evidence was presented that Midwestern U.S. beef finishing systems can achieve net-negative life-cycle greenhouse-gas emissions through deep topsoil carbon sequestration, referencing the paper “Impacts of soil carbon sequestration on life cycle greenhouse gas emissions in Midwestern USA beef finishing systems” (ScienceDirect).  
- Kenneth Hayworth publicly challenged the cryonics community to produce evidence of connectome preservation and claims they have not met the standard; the Brain Preservation Foundation’s video documentary series on current brain-preservation techniques was circulated (playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi8bYyAkwdRJOHHeJrd16ZEYCxZGaHGz5).  
- James Bruton’s open-source “openDog” quadruped robot project was highlighted, focusing on its Fusion 360 kinematic design rather than full physics simulation.
