One data point in technology making everyone richer: the cost of lighting has decreased by over 1000x.

Um. Who’s gonna tell him how the algorithm works?

None of us are seeing that on our feeds, bro…

The AI field is going to “cure all diseases” in the next five years and then make the human race go extinct shortly thereafter. 😂

This is why the Dwarkesh framing was dangerous.

Morons who are in power will take it literally.

AI is becoming very similar to regular employees. Ask it how long it will take to get something done and it will say 4 weeks. Say you need it done much faster and it will tell you how to do it in 5 days.

@emmma_camp_ These weird ones were the actually useful classes in college - force you to think critically about stuff you can't google (or ask AI now).

[Lewis @ NKA Bio @LewisCHibbs3]

@marcrandolph NKA Bio make medicines for critically ill patients that press pause on death and buy more time for life saving care.

[Lewis @ NKA Bio @LewisCHibbs3]

Hmm, context may be important?

[Human Progress @HumanProgress]

Panic about AI water use rarely comes with context.

Suburban sprinklers in the United States use more water in two days than all the data centers in the country use in an entire year.

Newer cooling systems can bring on-site water use close to zero.

@thsottiaux @Angaisb_ Luna solved some big biophysics problems today. Sol was overthinking it.

Quincy, Washington shows what a good data center deal looks like.

About 30 facilities shoulder an estimated 57% of local property taxes, funding a $120M high school, library, hospital, and police and fire stations.

Science is slow, but speed is everything. Would be developing new drugs with my grandfather if not for the same thing.

Pretty sad that my dad died of chemotherapy complications just a few years before immunotherapy will make cancer treatment without chemotherapy a viable possibility

[Catherine Rampell @crampell]

Hear me out. What if instead of selling food below cost to all comers at taxpayer expense, and then using more taxpayer dollars to subsidize private companies that can't compete with those prices, we had a program that targeted nutritional assistance just to the people who needed it, as a supplement? We could call it, I don't know, supplemental nutritional assistance

[Paul Graham @paulg]

The Tesla that Jessica just bought cost $48k and has a range of about 350 miles. The one she bought in 2015 cost $135k, adjusted for inflation, and had a range of 270 miles. People who think they dislike capitalism don't know how good they have it.

[Adam Feuerstein ✡️ @adamfeuerstein]

I have to say, when Merck called me last night with the mRNA cancer vaccine news (embargoed, of course), I literally yelped in reaction.

Consider this: Between this spring's Revolution Medicines success with a KRAS-targeted drug and now Merck and Moderna's success with an mRNA neoantigen vaccine, 2026 will go down as one of the most consequential years in cancer treatment, ever.

Incredible.

@RoKhanna @mcuban Just make sure you give me a heads up so I can be sure my company stops developing new medicines before then...

[Human Progress @HumanProgress]

No one was forced to buy books, batteries, or diapers from Amazon. They did so because Amazon saved them time, money, effort, or uncertainty.

That is capitalism: People get rich by creating something others value enough to buy.

if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isn’t a tax problem…
