- A two-part blog post titled “Our New Species” (https://spirals.blog/articles/our-new-species-pt-1/) was shared, prompting debate over whether it is serious futurism or “Elon Musk fan-fiction.”  
- The post appears to depict a near-future scenario in which humanity transitions into a new, engineered species, touching on themes central to transhumanist discourse.  
- Developer lsneff announced the resumption of work on “atomcad,” an open-source molecular CAD tool aimed at accelerating bottom-up nanotechnology and bio-design.  
- No additional technical details about atomcad were provided, but its revival signals renewed open-source activity in molecular-level design software.  
- Aside from these two substantive exchanges, the remainder of the log consists of routine joins, quits, and network splits with no further technical or conceptual content.
