e/acc - @physorg_com (the website) is a great decade+ aggregator for keeping tabs on applied sciences innovations. The articles are more to the point and quantitative than the usual uni PR and pop sci pieces. It also has subsidiaries for Medicine and Tech.

If you don't believe singularly great people drive innovation, you see leaders as replaceable and progress as inevitable. But Jensen isn't replaceable, and progress isn't inevitable.

Jensen helped create the AI boom, brick by brick. He lives with the intractability of the physical world every day. Onlookers downplaying his accomplishments live in fantasyland.

If the attacks on open weight AI mount after this, it’s a good time to remember that crypto was born to fight these exact type of fights.

The infrastructure exists to make open weight AI uncensorable and accessible by all and the industry will meet this moment if it needs to.

Just ask my kids. They will confirm.

🚨#BREAKING: Seattle police say they have not arrested A SINGLE PERSON after a 21-year-old was SH0T 3 TIMES trying to STOP A ROBBERY walked 2 blocks BLEEDING TO DE*TH, begging for help...

...and a 7-Eleven LOCKED THE DOORS on him and people stood around FILMING him instead of helping!!!!!

He had to TEXT 911 by himself, alone.

Yes, you read that right... ZERO bystanders helped him and he had doors locked in his face while he was bleeding to DE*TH!!!

His name is Matthew Lanske, he's a construction worker in Seattle.

Last Saturday night, he and his friends had just finished dinner in Belltown when they walked into one of those "street takeovers."

His family says a man and two women tried to rob one of Matthew's friends at gunpoint.

Matthew tried to stop the gunman and for his trouble, he was SH0T THREE TIMES.

Twice in the stomach and a third bullet shattered his pelvis and tore through a major artery.

He should have passed away right there on the sidewalk.

Instead, this man got up and WALKED two blocks while bleeding out.

He was begging for people to help him, no one did.

He made it to a 7-Eleven and they locked the doors in his face:

Later he said he told his mother:

"Mom, they wouldn't let me in. They locked the doors. I begged them to let me, and there was so much blood coming out of my stomach, I thought I was going to die."

His mother's said that he begged BYSTANDERS for help and instead... they filmed him:

"While my son was fighting for his life, people were standing around filming him, taking pictures instead of helping him."

So Matthew sat down on the ground, alone, and did the only thing left.

He texted 911 and then he texted his girlfriend.

Police eventually found him... he has spent 2 days on life support.

He has had two surgeries so far and has two more to go.

It'll be MONTHS before he can work again.

Please pray for Matthew... you won't hear his story in the mainstream media, it doesn't fit the narrative.

Seattle PD has not arrested a SINGLE PERSON EVEN THOUGH THE ENTIRE INCIDENT WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA!!!!!

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!

Free speech needs no justification.

You are permitted to speak openly with a human, you should be permitted to speak openly with a machine.

@Adriana19Flower @moontreeco True, experiments otherwise (Kibbutz) did not work out well.

@michaeltastad @svrnco Jensen’s ego is shattered now from all reports. If he wants to grind through the pain and redeem himself I’m sure he’d even be grateful for a chance to be subordinate.

@8teAPi This is how they’ve always operated. When Trump says “fake news media” he’s essentially referring to this phenomenon of opportunistic gossip being immediately entrenched by circular references spread by those with oppositional animus.

@aphysicist Founder-led companies should have entrepreneur-filled boards. And move the company out of any jurisdiction that mandates DEI quotas amongst board members.

[Naval @naval]

You’d think we’d have learned from Steve Jobs and Travis Kalanick that one does not just simply replace the founder…

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@Kalshi Probably won't be by end of this year.

I seem to remember a John Stossel program on ABC where he showed the lowered standards for female Firefighters. The men had to be able to do a fireman carry with a 150 lb dummy. The women could drag the dummy down the stairs by the dummy’s feet. The dummy’s head hit every step on the way down.

AI is power

Politicians seek to control power

They will attempt to control AI every way possible, overt and covert, in manners both benign and grotesque, always for your protection, always under a banner of benevolence.

Many of them earnestly believe in their cause. When they look in the mirror, they see a hero, as does every villain.

Do not let them build that cage of surveillance over intelligence itself.

There is no group of men so omnisciently wise and so eternally noble as to deserve coercive monopoly privilege over machine intelligence.

Care about safety? Safety is best achieved through transparency (open-source), and the decentralization of power.

Care about equality? Equality is the first exile of any licensing regime.

Do not fall into the cage.

Do not let Sauron have the ring.

Your heart, brain, and immune system share the same DNA sequence. So how can a single-letter change affect disease in some cells, while sparing the rest?

AlphaGenome 2 is our new AI model that zooms in on specific cells to help scientists understand what drives disease. 🧵
