I think it’s time to revisit the accredited investor laws in the US.

Companies are staying private longer, where only accredited investors (aka rich people!) can invest. Retail investors can only come in after IPO, when much of the upside has already been captured.

These rules were created with the best of intentions, to protect regular people from scams - a noble idea. Unfortunately, in practice they've often made it illegal to get richer, unless you're already rich. A regressive tax!

We have to judge policies based on their outcomes, not on their intentions.

These are two possible routes I see:

1) Replace the rule with something merit-based, like a financial literacy test. Pass it and you're accredited. Having a qualification based on competency rather than your bank balance or income seems far more fair.

2) Remove the rule entirely. Let consenting adults assess their own risk. Disclosure requirements stay and fraud enforcement stays to punish bad actors.

BREAKING: The US DOJ just declared Elon Musk's AI data center a national security asset and blocked an environmental lawsuit against it.

The NAACP filed a lawsuit against xAI in April 2026 under the Clean Air Act, alleging the company is operating dozens of gas turbines without the required air permits to power its Colossus 2 data center.

The turbines are located in Southaven, Mississippi, just across the state line from the data center in South Memphis, Tennessee.

Since the lawsuit was filed, the number of turbines has grown from 27 to 57.

xAI says that the turbines are legally exempt from Mississippi air permitting requirements because they are mounted on trailers and classified as temporary mobile equipment.

On Monday, the Department of Justice intervened in the case, filing court papers arguing that shutting down the turbines would “threaten American national, economic, and energy security.”

The DOJ stated that the power supply supports U.S. military AI operations.

Cameron Stanley, the Defense Department’s Chief Digital and AI Officer, submitted a declaration stating that Grok is one of only four AI models currently cleared for mission critical operations across Secret and Top Secret classified government networks, and that it has been used in recent U.S. military operations against Iran.

The DOJ, xAI, and the state of Mississippi are jointly asking the court to dismiss the case.

@satyanadella This is entrenched capital propaganda-make no mistake-the game value trait loop is only a year away and then agents become individual personalities with mapped incentive structures. This completely destroys human agency and any unique pattern recognition. Ultron distribution…

[NVIDIA @nvidia]

Huge congratulations to the @SpaceX team on a historic IPO debut.

Fueling the next frontier of space and AI. 🌌

NVIDIA's partnership with SpaceX spans nearly a decade, from hand-delivering the world's first #NVIDIADGX-1 supercomputer in 2016 to the custom DGX Spark handoff at Starbase. Together, we've been pushing the boundaries of accelerated computing to help power the future of space exploration.

@elonmusk Terrafab will remake the chip from first principles - the method of computing is outdated compared to what it could be - there is a case for a ~10000x in compute power and 10x less heat within 3-5 years from photonics chips - over clocking us straight to the future. Elon knows…

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Starlink V3 satellites have >10X bandwidth of V2 and there’ll be >10X launched, which means >100X more bandwidth.

Also, altitude will be 350km vs 550km, so min latency can be cut in half.

Light travels 300km/ms in space, so physics round trip min latency drops to <5ms.

Neuralink is planning its first Blindsight implant later this year, aiming to restore limited vision even for people who have lost both eyes, their optic nerve, or were born blind

Over time, it could potentially go beyond that and offer enhanced or even superhuman vision

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

WOW! This is the first time we've ever been able to see Starship in space from another object. This view comes from modified Starlink satellite they just deployed that has a camera and a light on it.

Super cool!

ok actually insane paper published yesterday

a research group in Korea built a gene switch you can control wirelessly using electromagnetic fields

they exposed mice to 60 hz EMF (same frequency as your wall outlet) using a pair of large coils that generate a uniform magnetic field around the animal, for cyclic 3-day on / 4-day off pulses

they showed this could:
- activate OSK to do epigenetic reprogramming in progeroid and aged mice, extending lifespan and reversing aging markers across multiple tissues
- conditionally switch on mutant amyloid genes only in aged mouse brains, letting them separate aging effects from amyloid effects to study AD biology in a way previous models couldn't

no drugs, no impacts, just a magnetic field from outside the body

[Zane Koch @zanehkoch]

so what happened in the study?

THE RADIATED MICE LIVED SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER

they had a 53% LOWER risk of death (HR=.475, p=0.003) than the mice dosed with no radiation!!!
