Nelson Vergel’s journey is one of resilience. Diagnosed with HIV in the 80s, he defied the odds to become a leading voice in hormone health, muscle preservation, and medical autonomy. If you're interested in hormones, anabolic therapies, and longevity, this one is for you.
Today Narges Mohammadi’s #NobelPeacePrize lecture was delivered by her children Kiana and Ali Rahmani in Oslo, Norway. Despite being in prison for her fight for human rights in Iran, Mohammadi ended her lecture on a hopeful note.

Last week, we shared this photo from our team in Al Awda hospital in #Gaza that used to list the weekly surgical cases.
Since then there was a strike on the hospital.
We're re-sharing this photo in solidarity.
URGENT: Hospitals in Gaza have been under bombardment the past 24 hrs. Al-Shifa Hospital complex, where our staff are still working, has been hit several times, resulting in multiple deaths & injuries.
The attacks against hospitals must STOP.
We NEED an immediate ceasefire.

On average, one child is killed and two are injured every 10 minutes during the war in #Gaza.
Protecting civilians in times of conflict is an obligation and a commitment to our shared humanity.
Civilians - wherever they are - must be protected. #NotATarget
Since the crisis began in the Middle East, thousands of people have lost their lives.
This includes more than 100 of our colleagues - the highest number of UN aid workers killed in conflict in the history of our organization.

We’re excited to announce that recruitment is open for our first-in-human clinical trial!
If you have quadriplegia due to cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), you may qualify. Learn more about our trial by visiting our recent blog post.

Actual email from @FarmBureau lobbyist to congressmen on Rules cmte this evening.
Behind the scenes, National Farm Bureau promotes a policy that will be hurtful to livestock farmers - Electronic Identification Tags for cattle. We don’t need big government tracking our animals.
We are excited to share that we have received the FDA’s approval to launch our first-in-human clinical study!
This is the result of incredible work by the Neuralink team in close collaboration with the FDA and represents an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people.
Recruitment is not yet open for our clinical trial. We’ll announce more information on this soon!

A short 🧵on why we're calling for this - (1/8)
If it’s not clear yet, this is what I think will happen soon.
Every major tech company except Apple has announced their own LLM.
Apple have spent years perfecting their on-device neural engine. Capable of some absolute insane operations. Loads of compute in a small and energy efficient form factor.
With M1, M2 & soon M3 the neural engine is even more powerful than their A series mobile chipsets.
While we currently need the cloud to run ChatGPT and it’s clunky, I think Apple is going to blow everyone out of the water here. Both on desktop class hardware and mobile.
I think Apple will be launching their own secure and private LLM that runs on device (edge compute). And when necessary it offloads more heavy workloads to a cloud based LLM that’s optimized for heavier tasks. So we will initially have some hybrid.
Personal, with tight hardware and software integration this AI will be omnipresent. Apple will probably use this to sell a lot of new hardware that they claim is needed to run this. They will make a lot of moneys.
For me the LLM’s will form the new protocol level technology upon which most new software will be built. We will have to re-wire our core understanding about what an application is.
Single-use apps will be a huge thing. If you need to solve a unique problem, and nobody has ever done software for that because not enough market. With an LLM even a problem with only one user, will be doable, enter your ask, and code gets written, problem gets solved. Runtime ends, app dies. Done. Single use apps are born.
It’s hard to predict or try to understand how the world will look just 10 years from today. It will be very different, we have passed the inflection point, the rocket engines have been lit. We’ve taken off.
Add to all the above that every single field, category and market will be disrupted at the same time. And not only with text/coding but with any multi-media we have. Images, video & audio. Anything we can come up with can and will be enhanced or disrupted by AI.
Once we got more people that will have their AI A-ha moment the rate of change and adoption will continue to increase. This will continue until we have global access and coverage.
People will get left behind, and this will be one of the most important things to try to combat. Having a 0% left behind policy. We need to make sure AI benefits all.
We’re living through a paradigm shift, and we’re witness a new protocol level technology. We’re seeing it arrive in real-time and most people have no clue about what’s about to happen.
I’m not an AI alarmist, I’m an AI gardener, and optimist.
We will have time to adapt. Not as long as we had during the Industrial Revolution, but enough time to make sure we have a chance at a positive outcome.
We’re moving away from the Information Age into the Age of Intelligence. With unlimited access to intelligence anywhere, anytime.
