He’s very much underrated. People barely talk about him. Dude lost his dad Steve Jobs to cancer when he was 20 and ended up building a $1B+ fund focused on fighting cancer, backing biotech, AI drug discovery and cancer research.

Barely does interviews, stays out of the spotlight. Could’ve spent his life doing literally anything with that last name but chose this instead. Pretty fucking cool tbh.

Investors turning to robotics makes sense once you see the test NVIDIA ran.

Astra, with no robot training, managed to beat the best robotics model on a simulated pick-and-place task by 23.8 points.

So a startup can build on a general model and skip training its own, as Freda says. Pretty wild

LG is stepping up its push into humanoid robotics.

The company has reportedly hired Hyun Dong-jin, former head of Hyundai Motor Group’s Robotics Lab, to lead its Physical AI strategy.

The move comes as LG prepares to unveil its first humanoid robot in early 2027.

Nodle app has been enabling ai agents to spend $NODL or stablecoins for more than a year… @NodleNetwork team is often ahead of the game! Join the network through the app and purchase some ethereum:0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7 to start playing and trading in the app

Ca se voit tellement que le gars n’a pas de coach de communication.
Et ça fait un bien fou.

[Anthenor.eth @anthenor]

Customers asked us for a way to use Nodle without an integration project.

So we opened a marketplace for Bluetooth tags from 10 makers. Order one, provision it online in minutes, keep your own encryption and data.

First 10,000 devices are free.

I am telling you. David Lisnard will be the next President of France.

A few months ago, almost nobody outside French politics was talking about him.

Now the probability is moving up.

7.2% doesn’t win an election.
But momentum starts somewhere.

Remember this post.

How do 100+ humanoid robots actually compare?

Track specifications, capabilities, applications, development status and the companies behind them, all in one place.

Built to understand the robots, not just find them.

[Robotico @roboticomarket]

Robotico is live.

A dedicated intelligence platform for the humanoid robotics industry.

Track companies, robots, capital, people and market developments across the robotics economy.

The industry in one place.

Grok @bot is awesome.

One of the best AI products I have ever seen and this year was absolutely insane.

But please @elonmusk can we get higher tiers?

I have depleted the weekly usage is 2 days. I am sure you must see that the demand is through the roof.

Ultra is not enough

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.

Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.

Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.

As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”

Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.

Time to choose your side.

Frustrating, to say the least.

After having a taste of Fable 5, it's going to be pretty hard being motivated working on a lower model

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Personal AI bill right now
- ChatGPT Pro (for Codex) : €190.83
- Claude Max plan 20x (Claude code) : €180.00
- Midjourney Standard plan : $30
- Hetzner (for Hermes Agent) : €8.77

Professional AI bill is much higher

[Florent Stroppa @florentstroppa]

The Codex team is cooking

There's an update almost everyday with new features, new plug-ins, improved user experience, and GPT 5.5 is a beast.

And my AI bill keeps on increasing
