Today we remember one of the world's greatest scientists: Marie Skłodowska Curie.
Curie dedicated her life to science. She was the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first person to be awarded twice and is still the only person to receive the prize in two different scientific fields.
Curie died #OTD in 1934.
Jensen Huang told a room of global investors that AI is not one industry. It is five stacked on top of each other. Most people are investing in layer four and ignoring layers one through three entirely.
He called it the five-layer cake.
Layer one is energy. Jensen said this is the single greatest opportunity for the energy industry in a hundred years.
The first time in a century that the grid in most countries can actually attract serious capital. Nuclear, solar, wind, hydrogen, it does not matter what form. If it produces energy, it gets funded. Siemens, GE Vernova, Mitsubishi. That is why they are all doing so well right now.
Layer two is chips, computers, networking, and silicon photonics. Everything that processes the intelligence.
Layer three is infrastructure. Land, power, buildings, data center operations. Every single one in short supply today.
Layer four is the model layer. OpenAI, Anthropic. The layer everyone talks about.
Layer five is applications. Every startup applying AI to financial services, legal, healthcare, logistics, transportation. Last year alone, a hundred billion dollars of venture capital went into this layer. The single largest VC year in the history of humanity.
Then he said the number that stopped me cold.
We are putting one trillion dollars into this five-layer cake this year. That sounds enormous. Jensen thinks the AI industry will eventually run at twenty trillion dollars per year.
We are one trillion in of a twenty trillion dollar per year ecosystem.
Most people watching AI are staring at layer four. Jensen was describing layers one through five as a single compounding system where every layer feeds the one above it.
The people who understand that will invest differently than the people who do not.
Our astronaut Luca Parmitano is assigned as pilot of NASA’s #ArtemisIII mission.
With Europe powering Orion with the European Service Module, this mission will test the critical operations preparing for humankind's return to the Moon.
A strong step forward for ESA–NASA partnership.

Amendolara, la strage che riaccende i riflettori su caporalato e sfruttamento dei migranti. Di caporalato e sfruttamento avevamo parlato nell'inchiesta "Uscire dai ghetti". Rivedila

Microsoft reportedly pulled engineers off Claude Code after the token bills started getting insane.
The wild part is AI is starting to look less like a replacement for workers and more like a second workforce to pay for.
Sono le 10 e devo subire:
- un cliente che mi manda un testo dicendo "usatelo come esempio per fare gli altri". E il testo è una merda fatta con l'AI, con gli m-dash in bella vista
- un cliente che mi manda un "documento strategico" con dentro gli emoji di Chat GPT.

🎥 Quale terribile verità sta dietro la “riduzione degli sbarchi” vantata dal ministro dell’Interno #Piantedosi?
Sì, gli sbarchi sono diminuiti. Ma nei primi quattro mesi del 2026 sono morte 11.15 persone: il periodo più letale mai registrato nel Mediterraneo.

It’s incredible how often the Pareto principle shows up in the real world.
In our aerial survey data, 80% of the plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch was concentrated in just ~20% of the surveyed surface area.
(This, btw, is why we're focusing on targeting the hotspots)
Insomma, la “rivoluzione” di Buttafuoco sarebbe legata al tipo di premio. Non leggo nessuna parola di sincerità sul fatto che si abbia dato vetrina a un regime che - secondo tutte le leggi internazionali, sanzionato da tutti i provvedimenti dell’Unione Europea - ha invaso uno Stato pacifico, sopratutto SENZA DARE ALCUNO SPAZIO ALLE OPPOSIZIONI. E pensano ai premi, ai due leoni d’oro. Non so più cosa dire.
