Elon Musk: "We’re in the final stages of completion of Optimus 3, which is really going to be by far the most advanced robot in the world, nothing's even close.
In fact, I haven’t even sent any demos of robots that are as good as Optimus 3, frankly.
We’ll start production on Optimus 3 this summer, but very slow at first. And then probably reach high-volume production around summer next year.
We’ll have Optimus 4 design complete by next year like, we will try to release a new robot design every year, an improved robot design every year."
Key players:
Life Biosciences: first human dosing of a partial reprogramming therapy, targeting ophthalmology first
BioAge Labs: IPO plus two Big Pharma collaborations validating its aging-biology data platform
NewLimit: fastest capital velocity in epigenetic reprogramming, still pre-clinical
Retro Biosciences: best-funded of the private reprogramming players, with a clearer path in autophagy than in reprogramming
Altos Labs: launched in 2022 with the largest single commitment in the sector’s history ($3B), still without a disclosed clinical program
Insilico Medicine: the AI-native, Asia-anchored platform play, positioning discovery speed as its edge

Here's my conversation with Gary Gallagher, a leading historian of the American Civil War. We discuss the causes of the war, the economics and politics of slavery, military strategy, Lincoln, Grant, Lee, the Lost Cause, the Confederate Flag, and the history of extreme political division in our country from before the Civil War to today.
It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).
