A while back I read a book by Michael Crichton called "Prey", in which a swarm of nanomachines went rouge and were killing people and such. A very good book, and in it the swarm of nanomachines resembled a large cloud, which would swarm around it's victim and suffocate/tear them up.

One of the ways they fought off the nanomachines was to use electromagnets on them, where the magnetic pulse would render them dead.

what if ( and a big what if at that... ) the cloud is a swarm of nanomachines? I cant remember if it was speculation or mentioned in the show that the machinery in the compound is electormagnetic, but what if they are imputting the code at measured intervals to keep the machines from pulsing with an electromagnetic wave? It could be sort of a fail-safe, in case whatever experiment is being conducted goes rouge and nobody is left to enter the numbers, the pulse would hopefully kill the nanomachines.

bah, just talking out the opposite orifice here. Not looking for agreement, just voicing my thoughts. ;)

It would make more sense if the computer in the hatch only controls the e.m. wave which is used as a containment method. The nanotechnology could be from some unknown source being studied by whoever.

Still the that theory is like way out there though.

Lol I would watch out.. Why would an official site charge you $30 to gain access? It sounds like some scam trying to profit from Lost fans.

the question is whats beyond there that we dont already know....lol :whistle:

Ok.. so the EMP could destroy the monster (in your theory which I like :p)... how is it an "incident" if they don't enter the numbers? Why get them to do it at all? Why give them the control to destroy their important security system? That'd mean that the security system is protecting them from something else?

Mmm, sounds very dodgy..

Sorry to spoil the party guys but the show's producers have said the 'smoke' isn't nanomachines.

I'll get the ball rolling again then:

Theory: The thing which killed the pilot wasnt the smoke.

FYI, the Kraftkost site is NOT an official viral site from ABC according to the folks over on the Lost Forums.

I would HIGHLY doubt ABC would be charging people $30 to look at some website.

On topic, it was suggested that Locke and Eko might be brothers. Hence the reason Locke saw the plane crash, and when he first saw eko they stared at each other pretty strange. Some suggest that Locke's dad went on a "Walkabout" in Nigera and hooked up with some Nigeran lady, and had Locke and Eko.

Dumb ass comment how can his father have children incase you didnt notice hes a male.

weve seen lockes mother anyways.

Err, I'll resist telling you about the birds and the bees... but I think hes suggesting that his father got it on with someone in Nigeria, thus fathering Ecko.

But, that doesn't make any sense, and how would they just "know" anyway..

If Locke dies I can see so many not watching this show anymore.

Hell yeah, I'd be ****ed. Locke's one of my favorite characters. Although I suppose if Eko was in a lot of scenes like Locke it wouldn't be as bad, but it wouldn't be the same without Locke. Locke's the only one who makes any progress doing anything on the island.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      Ignoring the fact that this "colony" kicked the empire of King George's arse during those early years... You are confusing the First Industrial Revolution (which was pulled out of some butt-hurt Brit historian's arse) with the Second Industrial Revolution (aka the Technological Revolution), which transitioned the world from the UK sailing Empire to the USA as a superpower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution
    • OpenAI announces GPT‑5.6 Sol, its next-generation flagship model beating Claude Mythos 5

      OpenAI announces GPT‑5.6 Sol, its next-generation flagship model beating Claude Mythos 5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Credit: OpenAI OpenAI today announced a limited preview of its new GPT-5.6 model series, which includes the Sol, Terra, and Luna models targeting different price points. GPT-5.6 Sol is the flagship model targeted at demanding reasoning and agentic workloads. GPT-5.6 Terra is positioned as a balanced model for everyday work, featuring performance competitive with GPT-5.5 while being half the cost. GPT-5.6 Luna is the fastest and most affordable model, delivering strong capability at a lower price point. Unlike previous model releases from OpenAI, GPT-5.6 is starting with a limited preview for a small group of trusted partners due to U.S. government restrictions. As expected, OpenAI previewed its plans and the models' capabilities to the U.S. government ahead of launch, and the government asked OpenAI to limit the first wave of access to select partners. OpenAI also mentioned in the official announcement blog post that it does not believe this type of government access process should become the long-term default. OpenAI highlighted that GPT-5.6 Sol comes with a robust safety stack featuring improved protections for higher-risk activity, sensitive cyber requests, and repeated misuse. The company also spent several weeks pressure-testing the system and hardening it against real-world attacks. On the capability side, as expected, GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s strongest model yet. It delivers better results in agentic performance across coding, biology, and cybersecurity. On the Terminal-Bench 2.1 benchmark, which tests command-line workflows requiring planning, iteration, and tool coordination, GPT-5.6 Sol sets a new record with a score of 91.9%, beating Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5. Additionally, GPT-5.6 introduces a new "max" reasoning effort for even deeper reasoning. The new "ultra" mode uses subagents to accelerate complex work beyond what a single agent can handle. Pricing starts at $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens for Sol. Terra costs $2.50 for input and $15 for output, while Luna costs $1 for input and $6 for output. GPT-5.6 comes with more predictable prompt caching, including support for explicit cache breakpoints and a 30-minute minimum cache life. Sol will also launch on Cerebras in July at speeds up to 750 tokens per second for select customers. OpenAI plans to make GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna broadly available in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API in the coming weeks.

      I'm not sure if you are trolling because I saw people saying this with the straight face, but there were no United States of America when industrial revolution started, just United Colonies 🤣 p.s. I'm not British, so I'm not offended.

      Glad I uninstalled this incredibly buggy browser. Looking at that changelog, they clearly don't test their updates at all.
