Inventor Yang Zongfu is so convinced that the apocalypse is coming he's designed a new survival pod for the modern-day Noah.

Yang - who put his creation on show in Yiwu, in Zhejiang province, in eastern China - says he was inspired by a series of natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis that have rocked the world in recent years.

"Our planet is getting more dangerous and we all need our own emergency escape vehicle to keep us alive," he explained.

Yang's spherical pods - named the Atlantis - weigh six tons and can carry enough oxygen, water and food on board to keep three people alive for up to 10 months.

They can remain fully underwater for nearly a month and the walls are layered with asbestos and silver, so it can resist radioactive fall out after a nuclear attack.

Optional extras include a steering mechanism and a shower.

"There is nothing it cannot withstand," explained Yang.

To prove his point the inventor had himself thrown off a cliff inside one of the pods and then ordered assistants to set fire to it.

Yang has already sold 15 of the 150,000 GBP a time rescue pods to a coal mining company and is now offering them to China's multi-millionaire businessmen.

"There is no point in being wealthy if you can't live to enjoy it," he explained.

Is there information about how it's able to do that? 10 months of supplies seems like quite a lot compared to the size of that orb.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.

      Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.

      That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
