@TheBlapse Sorry, I'm confused - does the alien need to care? Why is it a requirement that any universal explainer must be moved? (Why does a human enjoying it not suffice to make it a worthwhile effort?)

they better write romance fantasy where the guy engineer a way to tilt earth’s magnetic field so they could witness aurora borealis on their first date while it snows over their otherwise polluted hot humid bombay rooftop restro if they want to reject landian accelerationism[...]

Yoga is gaining tremendous popularity across the world! Tomorrow, on 4th June, a very special competition, the 1st World Yogasana Sports Championship 2026 commences in Ahmedabad. This platform has brought together Yoga enthusiasts from around the world. It is a significant milestone on the global sporting roadmap for Yogasana. I will be joining the event via technology as well at around 6:40 PM tomorrow evening. My compliments to those who have organised such an innovative event and best wishes to all taking part.

I really like this answer.

Lex: If I gave you a superintelligence, what’s the first question you should ask it?

Michael Levin: Well the first thing I would ask is “how much should I even be talking to you?” Because it’s not clear to me at all that getting somebody to tell you an answer in the long run is optimal… in the long run, the process of discovering it yourself, how much of that are we willing to give up? And by getting a final answer, how much have we missed of stuff we might have found along the way?

@intacel I am a technocrat because of the strength of our ancient civilization.

Technology and business are both downstream of culture and culture is shaped by civilizational values. Without those values, all we have are shiny gadgets and a soulless existence.

We should be reminded of this graph every day. VCs, bureaucrats, startup founders, family offices, university scientists, should all have it pinned to their walls.

@hannu I wrote a blog piece about the wave of new, unconventional book publishing companies - I would love to hear your thoughts!

It's been a while since I gave this talk, but still a few fun ideas in there, interesting to revisit in the post-LLM world!

[Malhar Manek @MalharManek]

Wonderful talk on The Future of the Book by @hannu

I may be biased but I think this is a pretty good piece!

Excellent video for intro to complexity theory

We are investing in foundational technologies across the board: recently in quantum sensing, advanced materials, and soon metallurgy. I am a big proponent of metallurgy R&D in particular. Without it, we cannot build nail cutters or precision machinery or jet engines.

These are not flashy billion dollar investments to make headlines, they are foundational R&D that cost millions a year, stretched out over many years. The key is to SUSTAIN them for a decade or longer. Scientists and engineers need time and rock solid support.

We also don't aim for prestige, we want to first replicate know-how already there.

We have also been looking to partner with small Japanese companies with critical know-how. I have two fluent Japanese speakers with me now!

incredible content. this is the sort of stuff I have been trying to develop the intuition for playing around with models locally. he simplifies it so well with the math

Reading about the semiconductor manufacturing process is a mind-bending experience.

It’s a miracle that we figured this out.
