Three things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon, and the Truth.

@PolymarketMoney From @grok "The quote originates from Pichai's November 2025 BBC interview, where he noted quantum's exciting progress and Google's heavy investments alongside advances like the Willow chip's performance gains."

Terafab approximate size comparison between Giga Texas, the Pentagon, Apple Park, and the Mall of America.

There has never been a building this large. Elon Musk says it will be the most valuable building by far.

@charliebcurran So good! 😂

@levelsio The dead Internet theory -> App flooding leading to zombie apps.

"According to sensor tower, apps added to the App Store almost doubled to about 560K in the first half of 2026, compared to about 600K added in all of 2025."

Really nice seeing Starship launch in slow motion.

[Dustin Farrell @Dustin_Farrell]

Starship Flight Test 13 filmed by me at 600fps. Hit me up if you also need your giant rocket filmed up close in slow motion 😉

Oh, Ursula. "The images coming from Ceuta are unacceptable." No shit. What's more unacceptable is that this keeps happening on your watch while you lecture everyone about "rules" you never actually enforce. Hungary gets fined daily for actually trying to stop the flow, and you somehow still look shocked when the next wave hits. Hypocrite!

@charliebcurran 🤣

Brilliant 🤣

I used AI to explain the Open Model Wars, with fruit.

Initiated under a 2025 Trump executive order, the projects leverage unused military land to secure dedicated AI compute for defense applications, with initial sites expected operational by 2027-2029 at costs around $2 billion each.

JUST IN: Pentagon moves to build hyperscale AI data centers on at least a dozen U.S. military bases.

Mythos reduced HAWK's key strength by half after 60 hours of work following two years of expert review, and accelerated attacks on a reduced AES symmetric cipher variant by 200-800 times, performing most analysis with minimal human guidance.

Anthropic disclosed the vulnerabilities responsibly to the algorithms' creators and government partners, with each discovery costing roughly $100,000 in compute, underscoring AI's accelerating impact on both offensive and defensive cryptography research.

JUST IN: Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI discovers new ways to attack cryptographic algorithms, including a post-quantum encryption candidate.

[Astra @Astra_Apex]

Hehe 😂

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

Seriously considering producing this as a full National Geographic documentary.

Flux 3 is insanely good at these, this was made with one prompt!

[Astra @Astra_Apex]

Interesting timeline we are in...

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Hop in... best dimension yet.

Good morning, Asia. While you were sleeping, one of our most-read stories was about Google burning through cash for the first time since going public decades ago as it raised its spending forecast for AI infrastructure. https://t.co/mYimix2GWy

@levelsio The singularity will be one of the strangest yet unique chapters of human history https://t.co/HxnfazpsiD

Shenzhen just held the world’s first humanoid robot MMA event.

[Astra @Astra_Apex]

So cool

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket.

Scientists at the University of Minnesota have achieved a landmark in synthetic biology by constructing SpudCell, the first fully artificial cell assembled entirely from non-living chemical components, a minimal genome, purified enzymes, lipid membranes, synthetic DNA, and ribosomes, that can feed by fusing with nutrient-loaded liposomes, grow, replicate its DNA, and divide into daughter cells for approximately five generations while even demonstrating basic genetic selection.

This breakthrough, led by Professor Kate Adamala, moves beyond simply editing existing life to creating cell-like systems from scratch, blurring the boundary between chemistry and biology and opening doors to engineered organisms for applications in medicine, environmental cleanup, sustainable materials, and beyond, while sparking fresh debates on the ethics of building life in the laboratory.
