Elon Musk just gave the clearest AI timeline we’ve heard so far.
In under 10 minutes he lays out:
1) AI surpasses all human intelligence in ~5 years
2) Humans most likely lose control within 10 years
3) Most probable outcome: an age of amazing abundance
4) “Even if there was a stop button — we probably shouldn’t press it”
This is denser and more direct than most hour-long podcasts on the topic.
If you still think AI is “just another tool”, this 10-minute segment will recalibrate you.
I’ve been asked the same question again and again:
Why would the Ayatollah’s regime attack Dubai?
A city where nearly 200,000 Iranians live.
A city where they built businesses, raised families, educated their children in world-class schools, and found opportunity.
Why target a place that gave so many of their own people a future?
And then it hit me.
The answer is in the question.
This is a regime that kills its own people inside Iran. Why would it hesitate to harm them outside?
But there’s something deeper.
Dubai wasn’t just a target. It was a symbol.
Seventy miles across the Gulf stands a city that, to millions of Iranians, represents what Iran could have been - open, thriving, educated, diverse, confident. A place where business flourishes. Where coexistence is normal. Where over 200 nationalities live side by side, chasing dreams instead of fearing the state.
That model is a direct contradiction of everything the Ayatollahs built their rule upon.
So the attack wasn’t just against buildings or infrastructure.
It was against an idea.
Against a model of prosperity.
Against proof that another path is possible on the same waters of the Gulf.
Yes, the city has suffered a blow. Yes, it hurts. For those of us who love Dubai, who have built lives here, who have watched it become one of the safest and most dynamic cities in the world - this was personal.
But here’s what the doubters don’t understand:
Dubai’s strength has never been fragility.
It has always been resilience.
And when Iran is finally free from tyranny - when a new Iran rises - Dubai will not fade. It will thrive even more. It will become the gateway, the financial bridge, the transit hub for trade, energy, capital, and reconstruction. It will be the Hong Kong of a reborn Iran. The stepping stone between a free Iran and the global economy.
The best days of this city are not behind it.
They’re ahead. 🙌🏻🙂
@dhruv_rathee thanks for the great course on AI yesterday. I bought your AI Fiesta and paid for it. However the app still shows as Free Plan and keeps asking me to upgrade. Your app doesn’t have any place to raise a ticket for such issues. Email registered [email protected]
@Meta@facebook is there a simple way to recover one’s FB account your recovery instructions need email and or phone but the hacker changed all emails and phones on the account in one go several months back. Thankfully my insta is still with me. [email protected] is hacked
“By choosing to industrialize, Homo sapiens unwittingly made a commitment to impermanence. We adopted a self-terminating way of life, in which the finite resources that enable our industrial existence would inevitably become insufficient to do so,”

Clearly #Britishairways the Worlds Favourite airline is at their best. One full week their call centers, back offices and now 1+ hour at the check in desk cannot change a ticket from NY to LHR to become LAX to LHR. Most airlines will allow such changes to be done online.
Neerja Bhanot was a 22-year-old flight attendant working on Pan Am Flight 73 when it was hijacked by terrorists during a layover in 1986.
Soon after taking control, the terrorists killed an Indian-American traveler and discarded his body outside the plane.
They ordered Bhanot to gather the passengers' passports to single out Americans. However, she concealed the identities of the 43 Americans on the flight by stashing their passports under seats and discarding others.
After a tense 17-hour standoff, the hijackers began shooting and setting off explosives. Bhanot bravely opened the plane's doors, and rather than escaping herself, she helped passengers evacuate. Tragically, she lost her life while shielding three American children from gunfire.
One of the kids she safeguarded grew up to become an airline captain, crediting Bhanot as his inspiration.

A new study in the renowned medical journal The Lancet shows that as temperatures have risen since 2000, today about 116,000 more people die from heat each year, but 283,000 fewer die from cold.

When 2 groups of penguins meet on the road, they stop for a short exchange of information. When one of them moves in with the wrong group, a friend goes after him to bring him back🙂🐧🐧🐧
#britishairways in corona time fleecing customers with fine print and offering vouchers for cancellations even if they have changed the flights 3X in few weeks of booking. Well Done !
