If your AI agents aren’t working with data to find ancient sites with NASA datasets, then are you really using them properly?
My AI agents found an unmapped Maya site in Mexico, using LiDAR data from a NASA dataset.
72 hours from a random thought on vacation to a reply from Mexico's national archaeology institute.
What a time to be alive…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This site is not unknown or unmapped. Per Dr. Sarah Parcak, Dr. Francisco Estrada-Belli of Tulane University identified, researched, and published this site years ago.

@UCBSSL operators pulled two all-nighters this weekend to get these two spacecraft on their way 💪:
NASA’s ESCAPADE Completes Powered Earth Flybys, Now En Route to Mars science.nasa.gov/science-res…
😎
NASA is moving forward with PROMISE, a nuclear-powered lunar rover that will build on decades of Mars rover innovation to explore the Moon's South Pole region, advance lunar science and discovery, and support Moon Base objectives. NASA has selected @blueorigin to deliver PROMISE to the lunar South Pole region. youtu.be/8f0aPpW1Ifs?si=VLg7…

Let’s go! The @UCBSSL operations team has been in final preps all week.
Flyby #1 is happening tonight! 🔭

@ucbssl Ops team is ready for Trans Mars Injection burn 🔥 operations on the ESCAPADE 🔵 and 🟡 twin spacecraft. By end of weekend both should be on their way to the Red Planet after a year in near-Earth space.

Get Hyped. @ucbssl operators will be performing both burns this weekend.
Get ready: Trans-Mars Injection incoming.
Our two spacecraft - Blue & Gold - will slingshot Earth and shoot for Mars in four days.
The @escapade_mars mission for @NASA & @ucbssl is preparing for TMI – a critical maneuver in this epic interplanetary mission.
Blue’s engine burn scheduled: Saturday 7th November
Gold’s engine burn scheduled: Monday 9th November

Never take this for granted.
26 years of continuous human presence in space. 🌍🚀
Since 2 November 2000, the @Space_Station has never been without a crew.
And now, Sen's cameras are on board too, sharing live views of Earth from orbit.
26 years of humanity in space. Here's to the next chapter.
Concur, Atacama is great for stargazing.
for years i’ve been chasing the darkest skies in the world. the single darkest sky i ever witnessed was in the atacama desert of Chile. it’s not even close! the starlight cast a shadow out there. a truly spectacular and mind blowing experience.
the amazing scenery during the daytime was a treat too!
RIP to a legend.

This is going too far. “Monitoring the situation” is an important cornerstone of modern life for many. If AI can take this, then what’s left?

We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.
We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.
