People nowadays (incl. myself) are most of the time unaware that avg life quality has dramatically improved in a very short time. As a species we've had more victories than defeats, overall. And that's a 'seeing the glass half full' fact that should cross our thoughts more often.
I’m grateful to be alive at a time of unprecedented opportunity along every axis. The world of information at my fingertips for free, infinite intellectual curiosity fulfillment. I’m grateful to be able to see the Grand Canyon, Tokyo skyscrapers, and and Italian vineyards in the same year, when the richest king couldn’t have reached those places in a lifetime 1000 years ago. I’m grateful for my incredible family and friends, my colleagues at BT. I consider myself the most privileged person in the world, but I’m grateful that many of these privileges available to a larger % of humanity than ever before, and that if we don’t mess it up as humanity, that % will keep growing. I’m grateful as a nerd with glasses, slight scoliosis, and a bluntness that makes people question if I’m on the spectrum, that I live in an era where none of those things are huge obstacles like they would’ve been at most points in human history. I’m grateful that I’m alive at a time when we speculate on our place in the universe, instead of only which deity to worship to avoid famine in the next harvest season. I’m grateful to be working in industries full of passionate people, where we have the luxury of debating ethics and regulation, not squabbling just to survive. I’m grateful that I have the opportunity to help others.
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

@shiraeis Highly recommend @1000brainsproj by Jeff Hawkins and team, who’ve been working on an AI paradigm inspired but not constrained by biology. They theorize language and other abstract concepts emerge from spatial predictions. Long term goal is a theory-of-mind equivalent ran in CPUs
Great work @sundarpichai ! Any reason Colombia, the rainiest country in the world, shows *zero* events in Flood Hub? We have floods very often. Curious if it's a matter of permissions or data restrictions from sources? Something else on your side?
We trained a new flood forecasting model designed to predict flash floods in urban areas up to 24 hours in advance.
To help address a flash floods data gap, we created Groundsource: a new AI methodology using Gemini to identify 2.6M+ historical events across 150+ countries.
We’re open-sourcing this dataset to advance global research, and urban flash flood forecasts are live now in Flood Hub to help communities stay safe.
Last weekend, I put an AI agent on a Linux box, gave it root, email, credit cards, and a single mandate: decide who you are, set your own goals, and become an autonomous independent entity. Working 24-7 over 5 days, he did this--all of this--on his own:

@AriEiberman Rarely, sometimes they'll still ask for ID. And this also has other manifestations. For example, I’ve had issues a few times at airports where they won't let me board because I need to present a physical card. And I've ended up having to open my bank account in my phone / laptop
Locking the camera to the stars instead of the horizon changes everything.
It’s actually kind of terrifying to see the Earth spinning beneath us like this. 🌍🌌
@cryptochica_arg@lucamoneyapp Nooo, ya estás soñando con trabajo. Creo que es una señal del 2025 para indicarte que ya estuvo bien de eventos este año 😬

I get it that a startup on a tight budget might use some HTML wrapper lib for speed and cost reasons.
But a company this big? In one of their main growth drivers? Sad :(
