Boston Dynamics is now wholly owned by Hyundai. Question- why is the robotics leader only worth $3.3B? Seems like a good acquisition by Korea

[Gen AI Spotlight @GenAISpotlight]

🤖 𝗛𝘆𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗶 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝘀 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸'𝘀 𝗟��𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 $𝟯𝟮𝟱𝗠

Hyundai is buying SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake, giving the Korean automaker full control of the robotics company.

This follows Hyundai's $26 billion physical AI push from May.

SoftBank exits to redeploy capital into its $41 billion OpenAI bet and Roze AI infrastructure venture.

Atlas, Boston Dynamics' humanoid robot, is slated to start work at Hyundai's EV plant near Savannah, Georgia by 2028.

🎯 The play:
Full ownership means Hyundai isn't borrowing a robotics strategy anymore.

Atlas has to prove itself inside Hyundai's own factories first.

If it works there, Hyundai owns both the robot platform and the manufacturing proof point.

Mythos / Fable is unbelievable.

Was on a customer call today and had Claude transcribing in the background.

As they were telling me about the features they wish their current software had, Claude was building the features in real time.

By the end of the call I was able to show a fully working product, with the exact workflow they mentioned 15 minutes earlier.

Autonomous looped building triggered from a customer call. 🤯

Wow, the science is about to come out, now that we can study for the first time

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

This is biblical.

A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.

Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.

She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.

The issue of psychedelics is the next frontier

[Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 @TulsiGabbard]

Many thanks to President Trump for bringing common sense action to the issue of psychedelics.

Too many of my friends I deployed with have come home with invisible wounds and when seeking help, are given bags of prescription drugs by the VA to try to numb the pain, only to make things worse.  Friends of mine like Medal of Honor recipient @dakotameyer have shared how receiving treatment with psychedelics have been nothing short of life changing and lifesaving.  

President Trump took historic action today by signing a deeply impactful Executive Order that will open the doors to advance psychedelics research and treatment for our veterans and all Americans battling addiction and post traumatic stress. Stanford studies of this kind of treatment show an 88% drop in PTSD symptoms, 87% in depression & 81% in anxiety—one month later, veterans went from moderate disability to none.

This action is long overdue and could save countless lives.

Praying for the future of Iran 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

To all of our friends around the world,

Under the yoke of the Islamic Republic, Iran is identified in your minds with terrorism, extremism, and poverty. The real Iran is a different Iran. A beautiful, peace-loving, and flourishing Iran.

It is the Iran that existed before the Islamic Republic, and it is the Iran that will rise again from its ashes the day the Islamic Republic falls.

So let me be clear about how a free Iran will act toward its neighbors and the world, after the fall of this regime.

In security and foreign policy, Iran’s nuclear military program will end. Support for terrorist groups will cease immediately. A free Iran will work with regional and global partners to confront terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, and extremist Islamism.

Iran will act as a friend and a stabilizing force in the region. And it will be a responsible partner in global security.

In diplomacy, relations with the United States will be normalized and our friendship with America and her people will be restored. The State of Israel will be recognized immediately. We will pursue the expansion of the Abraham Accords into the Cyrus accords bringing together a free Iran, Israel, and the Arab world.

A new chapter will begin, grounded in mutual recognition, sovereignty, and national interest.

In energy, Iran holds some of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world. A free Iran will become a reliable energy supplier to the free world. Policy-making will be transparent. Iran’s actions will be responsible. Prices will be predictable.

In transparency and governance, Iran will adopt and enforce international standards. Money laundering will be confronted. Organized corruption will be dismantled. Public institutions will answer to the people.

In the economy, Iran is one of the world’s last great untapped markets. Our population is educated, modern, with a diaspora that connects it to the four corners of the world. A democratic Iran will open its economy to trade, investment, and innovation. And Iran will seek to invest in the world.

Opportunity will replace isolation.

This is not an abstract vision. It is a practical one. Grounded in national interest, stability, and cooperation.
To achieve this, now is the time to stand with the Iranian people. The fall of the Islamic Republic and the establishment of a secular, democratic government in Iran will not only restore dignity to my people, it will benefit the region and the world.

A free Iran will be a force for peace. For prosperity. And for partnership.

In this episode:

https://t.co/M0MR8jyaDO streams: Creators can now earn 20% of trading fees tied to their live-stream tokens, incentivizing edgy content. I test-drive the format with my own episodes.

Gary Gensler under fire: He claims tokens should have revenue—yet under his watch, projects that tried were sued into oblivion. Critics highlight his private meetings with SBF, missing SEC texts, and regulatory hypocrisy.

Crypto tax hell incoming: New IRS rules (2026) will require wallet-level cost basis tracking. Airdrops, worthless tokens, and exploitative reporting requirements could create massive headaches for U.S. taxpayers.

CoinCenter fights back: Their report blasts AML/KYC as ineffective, exploit-prone, and harmful to user privacy—arguing it’s done little to stop illicit finance.

Smart contract debugger: A new LLM-powered tool debugs Solidity code, bridging ���vibe coding” with real security for DeFi devs.

Plasma One launches: Backed by Tether, this sleek new app combines USDT rails, simple yield strategies (up to 10%), and 4% cashback cards. Its ambition? Replace Tron as the default USDT blockchain and challenge banks head-on with a mobile-native, crypto-first experience.

From pumpable live streams to aggressive tax changes, and from Gensler’s oversight failures to new apps threatening banks, the digital money frontier is accelerating.

Stay safe, don’t over lever, and hit subscribe if you want daily breakdowns on how crypto, regulation, and innovation are shaping the future of finance.
