Walking into the @Figure_robot HQ this morning and I couldn't stop thinking to myself... What do we call a group of Figure robots... A gaggle? A flock? Taking suggestions!

If Anthropic's core business gets disrupted in two years, what comes next? Salim Ismail points to side businesses like cybersecurity, and Dr. Alex Wissner-Gross has a name for that.

Some people call the US-China AI race a race to nowhere. Dr. Alex Wissner-Gross disagrees. With 17 nations signing the Kyoto Vision for a golden age of science, he explains why the real prize is a new era of discovery. Solve everything.

OpenAI dropped 722 math solutions in one day. Alex says math is cooked, and every other field is next.

[Moonshots @moonshots_pod]

Anthropic just banned abusing Claude, and Elon agrees. Alex says history will judge how we train AI.

Met some interesting characters outside @Figure_robot HQ yesterday morning…

They didn't have much to say. Luckily, @adcock_brett did!

New Moonshots episode coming soon 🤖👀

Turns out that the Starlink software, built for managing the movement of vast amounts of data through space and to the ground, is also very well suited to training super intelligence

🧠 Toward reading patients’ brains through extracellular vesicles in blood and CSF

By Benjamin Boettner @wyssinstitute

📍Could a blood sample offer a window into the health of our neurons?

📍Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute and collaborating institutions have taken a promising step toward that possibility.

📍Their study, published in Nature Neuroscience, addresses a difficult challenge: isolating tiny extracellular vesicles that may originate from neurons. These particles carry proteins and RNA—molecular clues that could help researchers understand changes in the nervous system.

📍The team improved vesicle purification and identified a promising surface marker, NRXN3, enabling them to isolate vesicles carrying it from human blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.

📍 Potential applications:

📌 Detecting neurological disease earlier.

📌 Tracking disease progression.

📌 Assessing how patients respond to treatment.

📍This remains proof-of-concept research. Confirming neuronal origin and validating disease biomarkers are essential next steps.

📍For me, this highlights why brain health deserves a central place in the conversation about wellness and longevity. Earlier, reliable biological insight could eventually help make care more timely and personalized.

Congratulations to Jim Jordan on being elected House Republican Leader for the 120th Congress!

The work ahead starts now. I look forward to working alongside Jim and my fellow House Republicans to hold the radical Left accountable, fight for our conservative values, and deliver results for the American people. Together, let's get to work and fight for the future our country deserves.
