Multiplex is an experiment, an experiment that will be on going. An experiment in publishing as I am not a professional writer nor will it be likely any contributors would be professional writers. Much of the content for Multiplex will be direct results from first hand empirical research that I am personally working on or other researchers are working on. Multiplex will also follow the work of other great researchers that are inventing new technology or new uses for existing technology. The experimental nature of Multiplex means that content can be dense and sparse at times. What we won’t do is write just to fill in space. We will aim to have regular content for the member-only area, This means that if you choose to become a member you are supporting the work of the writers and not an exact number of postings. There will always be free content to be found on the site as well as the X feed.—Brian Roemmele Website: ReadMultiplex.com

    ReadMultiplex.com: You Have 5000 Days: Navigating the End of Work as We Know It. Part 35: Atom by Atom AI Built Nano Fabrication—Confirmed!

    They Laughed At Me When I Said They laughed. That is the part I want you to remember first, because the laugh is the sound a dying consensus makes when it still thinks it owns the future. In 2012 I stood in front of a venture group and said that nanofabrication—true atom-by-atom assembly, not 3D printing, not sintering, not melting plastic into the shape of a wrench—would produce working discoveries before 2030, and that the path to a replicator was no longer science fiction. Their “expert” told the room my entire talk should be disqualified. There were no atomic-layer nanofabricators, he said. There never would be on any timeline a serious investor should care about. A hundred years, if ever. I have heard that same sentence about useful AI that would pass a Turing Test. I have heard it about the personal computer, about the internet in every home, about a robot that could walk into a room and do useful work. The expert is long gone. I am still here. And Oak Ridge National Laboratory just published the receipt. What Oak Ridge Actually Did On September 3, 2026, ORNL announced what researchers at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences had already proven in ACS Nano: an artificial intelligence can now see individual molecules on a surface, decide how to move them, and build a working material atom by atom—then keep doing it for more than twenty-five hours without a human hand on the controls. They built the very first crude nanofabricator . Read more at: ReadMultiplex.com Support this work by buying us a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/brianroemmele

    ReadMultiplex.com: The Singularity Defined: A Shapeshifting Term

    The word singularity did not start out as a product launch or a podcast line or a date circled on a calendar or a book title often quoted a punchline. It started as someone admitting the map had failed. In mathematics, a singularity is where a function stops behaving. Division by zero. A pole. A place where slopes and limits will not hand you a finite answer. A mathematical singularity is a point where a function, curve, or surface stops being well-behaved: it may blow up to infinity, fail to be differentiable, or change topological type. The most familiar pictures come from three places. Physics uses the same word for the region, most famously the center of a black hole, where curvature and density push the usual equations past the point of being usable. You get close and time and space and mass stop being things a working physicist can treat with the tools that work everywhere else. The formulas do not taper politely…they blow up. That is why the metaphor stuck when people trained on those formulas started watching technology. If the rate of change is itself changing, there may be a stretch of history where yesterday’s models of how the future works just stop computing. In its first honest use the word was not a forecast of angels or demons. It was a warning about prediction running out of road. What follows is the long life of that warning. Who used it. What they meant. How the meaning split into several things that do not actually fit in the same bag. How the loudest voices of 2025 and 2026 wear the word like a badge. And why the badge may be the least helpful part of the story. The point is not to sneer. The point is to take the word serious enough to see what it can do and what it cannot. The first conversation that was not yet a doctrine The earliest technological use is not a manifesto. It is a remembered conversation, written down after one of the speakers was already gone..

    ReadMultiplex.com: Mapping The Future: How A 1994 Report Predicted 2026 And What’s Next.

    In the mid-1990s, as the internet was still largely a specialist tool and genetic engineering remained more promise than practice, a small group of professional futurists set out to map the world three decades ahead with unusual accuracy. This was extracted from government work they did the defense department insights that were shared with them and the connections they formed in academia. Rather than offering vague speculation or single-point predictions, they gathered and stress-tested hundreds of forecasts across science, technology, and engineering, then distilled them into a disciplined set of high-probability assumptions. The result was one of the most ambitious exercises in applied foresight of its era. That foundational work crystallized in 1994 with Joseph F. Coates’s concise report, The Highly Probable Future: 83 Assumptions about the Year 2025. Drawing on Project 2025—a multi-year corporate and research collaboration—Coates laid out eighty-three carefully reasoned statements covering information technology, materials science, genetics, energy, demographics, environmental management, and social change. These assumptions were never meant to be destiny; they were intended as a shared intellectual platform on which organizations could test strategies and explore alternative futures. It was printed and was quickly forgotten. Read more at: ReadMultiplex.com Support this work by buying us a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/brianroemmele

    ReadMultiplex.com: The First Ultraintelligent Machines: A 1965 Vision Of The Intelligence Explosion.

    “The survival of man depends on the early construction of an ultraintelligent machine.” What if the foundational text of the entire AI doomsday movement, the exact document that everyone cites to prove supercomputers will inevitably wipe us out. What if it actually begs humanity to build artificial intelligence as fast as possible? It completely shatters the narrative we're fed every single day. To save our species, basically. We're operating in this era where self-appointed AI "leaders" and "philosophers" constantly warn us about rogue algorithms. It's the classic Terminator scenario. And they always point back to one specific moment in history to legitimize their panic. They treat this original text like some dark prophecy. Like a warning from the past. But when you actually strip away the modern anxiety and read the physical words on the page, you find something that is remarkably, almost desperately optimistic. But who wrote this and why was this paper so often quoted? How can modern AI advocates who are constantly lobbying for a small cadre of human overseers, corporate commissars, and global planning boards to manage artificial intelligence on behalf of the entire planet? How can they possibly use the text of a man who explicitly argued that centralized power inevitably leads to crimes committed in the name of high ideals? They can't. Not honestly, anyway. It's totally incompatible. Read about this 1965 paper.. Read more at: ReadMultiplex.com Support this work by buying us a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/brianroemmele
