We are always amazed that dreams can be so real/vivid, but never amazed by how the brain renders reality for us vividly.

Just launched @AffectLive to get a sense of how everyone is feeling, especially linked to global events. Please follow and give us a click on the site!

I’ll use this in my talks to give visibility to the room’s emotions in real time.

About a year ago I would’ve bet that this would’ve been Anthropic and it would be openAI that all normies were talking about.

[Daniel @growing_daniel]

Kind of disturbing honestly. There’s something about God in math proofs so this is a weird moment.

Having an AI model solve a famous problem feels way more monumental to me than anything else so far.

Simply focussing on pain and sitting calmly relieves it. Pain is a signal to the brain of where to focus. The focus is the relief. No need for up down up down left right left right a b a b start.

🚨 WOMAN SAYS REPEATING THIS 5-DIGIT “QUANTUM CODE” SHUTS OFF PHYSICAL PAIN — AND PEOPLE ARE FREAKING OUT AFTER TRYING IT

A woman is going viral after claiming physical pain can be reduced without medication… simply by repeating a mysterious number sequence:

“55515.”

According to her, the sequence acts like a “quantum code” that sends a signal from the brain directly into the area of pain to calm the body naturally.

Her instructions:
• sit with the pain
• focus on where it’s coming from
• repeat the code over and over
• allow the body to “receive the signal”

But the internet immediately took the video down a much deeper rabbit hole.

People are now connecting it to the CIA’s declassified Gateway Process documents, the controversial research program that explored consciousness, frequencies, altered states, and the hidden potential of the human mind.

Now the comments are completely spiraling:

• “Why did this actually calm my migraine??”
• “The human brain is way more powerful than we’ve been taught.”
• “Why was the CIA researching consciousness in the first place?”
• “This sounded insane… until I tried it!”

What exactly did the CIA discover about the human mind… and why does it feel like the public still only knows a fraction of it?

A few weeks back I had the great privilege of being the closing speaker at the @singularityu's Executive Program in Palo Alto, the birthplace of Silicon Valley. Singularity has taken me far and wide on many adventures. I don't speak much about this here, but I have had the honour of closing for Singularity Summits and spoken on mind-boggling stages, including Summits and Executive Programs. But this felt somewhat different, as it was in the heart of Silicon Valley, the world's innovation eden, and at the finish line of an extraordinary series of provocative thinkers and content.

Step Change was my closing talk there, and I also delivered robotics(humanity) [robotics as a function of humanity]. It seems a recurring theme, to me, that we centre ourselves as the fundamental priority of this technological revolution. We can't compromise on humanity at the centre. And if we don't, we're building the most beautiful future possible.

On reflection, I realised I receive much more than I give in a talk like this one. I am grateful to present to an extraordinary audience of global innovators, thought leaders, and executives, whose impact compounds. Grateful to the SU team for the invitation. This was a beautiful moment in my career.

With tech we will prevail

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

If Hantavirus mutated into a global threat, it would unleash AI + biotech unlike anything we've ever seen.

> genome sequenced and public in 4 hours
> AlphaFold maps every protein target
> AI screens 10,000 drugs in 24 hrs
> 50 vaccine candidates designed simultaneously
> AI designed antibodies in days
> risk of death computed instantly
> decentralized trials launch globally
> enroll from home
> 20 countries manufacturing at once
> first doses in three weeks
> real-time dose characterization
> your genome + biomarkers determine your protocol
> variant map updates every hour

No one would wait for governments.

I agree with you for externally offered services, but many apps are not third party - e.g. a personal agent harness, a personal coding loop, etc. This should remain fair game, their previous policy was spot on.

[Harrison Kinsley @Sentdex]

Apparently an unpopular opinion, but I don't think Anthropic owes anyone heavily subsidized tokens for their third party app.

woman 2: "S-O-L-E?"
woman 1: "yep"

It's a bit rough around some of the edges but I'm super keen for developers to see this. One of my major bug bears is having to configure domains and to buy a google mailbox for each email surface.

[Adam Pantanowitz ∴ @AdamPantanowitz]

I wanted to create a config-file first mail service that works for developers and AI agents alike. Introducing https://t.co/6AKd1AD2Dr - this tool enables your entire email setup to be a config file. It's CLI first so you can drive from an agent.

[Adam Pantanowitz ∴ @AdamPantanowitz]

It also enables configurable email boxes from the yaml config for agents - so agents can collect their mail via API. We've got an SDK, MCP, CLI.

In the past we used to program bots to speak like us and deliver our thoughts. Now bots deliver us thoughts and we speak them online. A total subversion in a blink of an eye.

I appreciate the increased tax free savings from the #BudgetSpeech2026 - but why not make it divisible by 12 for people? 36/12 = 3; 46/12 = 3833.333...

@petergyang Hey Peter

Great minds. Yes I’ve build this and it’s amazing. It’s called LifeOS. Happy to give you a demo if you want to see.

[Adam Pantanowitz ∴ @AdamPantanowitz]

@adamwathan I’ve got something on this. Claude SDK plus personal knowledge base plus context plus integrations etc. I use it hourly but not sure if I should productise or release open source. No doubt it’s valuable but it requires setup atm.
