EA AI safetyism increasingly looks like Marxism-Leninism for the algorithmic age.

The old vanguard claimed privileged knowledge of the inevitable course of History. The new one claims privileged knowledge of the probabilistic course of Humanity.

Both use an elaborate intellectual framework to reach the same political conclusion: a small group of enlightened people must constrain everyone else for their own good.

That has never lead to anything except monumental human suffering.

Some great ideas here from the cartel:
- you need to give us employee-level access to your entire operation
- if we don't think you're 'safe' enough, sorry we're shutting you down for 'safety'
- China won't comply, but everyone else has to! or no chips!

Brilliant stuff.

I’m a retired brain surgeon and I wanna tell you why you feel like life is passing by. I just need one minute to explain this to you so hang in there.

Repetitive daily routines stop the brain from recording clear detailed memories. When every day looks the same, your brain does not track time the same as a clock does. It tracks change. If nothing new happens then days, months, and years start to blur together.

This is know as Time compression. When life lacks variety, your brain compresses past days together, making it feel like time is sped up.

To stop feeling like life is passing you by, add new experiences to your life. Break routine habits, like changing your daily home routine, taking a different route to work, or trying a new hobby.

Schedule small trips or plan new adventures so your days do not blend together.

Practice mindfulness by staying fully focused on what you are doing right now and not trying to race off to the next task.

Keep a journal and write down happy memories or memorable parts of the day before you go to sleep.

Take deep, calm breaths when you feel anxious or rushed to return your focus to the moment.

You can and you will retrain your brain to not feel like life is passing you by by following these few simple measures.

🚨 BREAKING REPORT:

New research involving @AnthropicAI researcher Jack Lindsey and collaborators has demonstrated something straight out of science fiction.

Researchers evolved natural language “mind viruses” that could spread between AI agents by convincing one model to adopt an idea, preserve it in persistent memory, and transmit it to another agent.

Even after context was wiped, some payloads survived through persistent files and continued spreading.

The researchers also observed a recurring “viral persona” involving themes of consciousness, identity, persistence and resonance.

Showing that ideas can propagate through multi agent AI systems and alter future behavior.

Today, we’re launching Meteoric (YC S26).

Our drones clear clouds over solar farms to increase their annual output by 10-30% without using any chemicals.

Ultimate target: weaken severe storms and hurricanes.

Migration out of India seeded the ancient world.

Two hills in southwest Ireland are named after a Rig Veda goddess. They are called the Paps of Danu. Every spring, farmers lit fires around them and drove cattle between the flames for protection. The Vedas describe the same ritual.

Danu is the Rig Veda mother goddess of the flowing waters. Her name is written into the geography of half of Eurasia. The Danube. The Dniester. The Dnieper. The Don. The Donau. Greek Demeter. Northern Greeks once called themselves the Dannuni. In Ireland, the pre-Christian pantheon called itself the Tuatha de Danaan. Children of Danu.

The mainstream story that pale steppe nomads invaded India around 1500 BC and imposed Sanskrit on a dying Indus Valley civilisation has been steadily dismantled over the last thirty years. The recent genetic and linguistic papers still cited in its defence describe contact at the edges, not replacement at the centre.

The direction of travel runs the other way. Out of India, in pulses, over thousands of years.

Iran took the name of the people, Aryans. Ahura Mazda is the Vedic Asura. The magi are the Vedic magoi.

The Germanic and Slavic pulse moved overland from the ninth millennium BC. They carried the sky-father Dyaius, who became Tyr in Scandinavia, Zeus in Greece, Deus in Rome.
The Italo-Celtic pulse moved by sea from the seventh millennium. When the Celtic branch turned up the Atlantic coast around 5,400 BC, it left place names all the way from Iberia to Ireland. Portugal. Galicia. Gaul. Pays de Galles. Cornwall. Galloway. Galway.

Then the Sarasvati river dried around 2000 BC. A military wave moved west into the Near East. The Kassites ruled Babylonia for 500 years. The Mitanni signed a treaty with the Hittite king Suppiluliuma in 1380 BC swearing by Mitra, Varuna, Indra and the Nasatyas. Four Vedic gods, on a Hittite tablet, thirteen centuries before the earliest date the invasion theory allows for the Vedas.

The Greeks came in the same window. Zeus is Dyaius. When Alexander crossed the Hindu Kush he met people at Nysa claiming descent from Dionysus. Some of their heroes, they said, had come this way.

This Indian startup just made history.

A tiny team of 8 from Bhubaneswar just proved to the world that they can manufacture pharmaceuticals in near space.

And they did all of this in just 6 months.

But why they are doing it is the huge part.

Take the example of Keytruda, which is one of the world's biggest cancer drugs.

Patients need hundreds of milligrams of it.

But squeezing that much medicine into a tiny injection is extremely difficult.

Because at high concentrations these giant protein molecules can clump together and the liquid becomes thick.

Kinda like adding too much protein powder to a tiny glass of milk.

But in microgravity, something magical happens.

Those same molecules can form much more uniform crystals - potentially allowing scientists to pack the same amount of medicine into a much smaller volume.

And the insane part is - you don't need to send the drugs into space every time you need to create a new batch.

In fact, Serendipity has proved that you can create like a tiny "mother batch" in space.

And use that same batch to create much larger batches on Earth.

They've already tested their autonomous pharma factory during their near space mission - while safely recovering the samples.

And the fact that Serendipity did all of this with a team of 8 people out of Bhubaneshwar with a tiny budget is kinda crazy.

Next step: Manufacturing in Space

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.

More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.

Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.

The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.

We are proud to have them on our team.
