AI is getting cheaper more quickly than any other transformative tech in history. At a given level of performance, cost has fallen ~47%/quarter since 2023.
That’s 4× faster than DNA sequencing, 6× faster than compute, 18× faster than lithium batteries, and (up to 1973) 54× faster than electricity.
Cernobbio plastica rappresentazione di un paese con una classe dirigente che ha perso completamente la bussola. Invitato Vannacci che non ha nulla da dire sul piano economico, fiscale e industriale (e mai ce lo avrà), essendo il collettore di pulsioni anti-immigrazione, euroscetticismo complottista e temi da Stato etico. A questo viene contrapposto Mario Monti, premier del governo tecnico più detestato dalla maggioranza degli italiani degli ultimi trent’anni, il quale usa l’argomento del fascismo che, come si è visto, non ha alcuna presa elettorale nello squalificare nessuno agli occhi di gran parte dell’elettorato (in Italia e altrove, basti guardare Afd). Tutti contenti in un dibattito allucinato: in sala si plaude per la prestazione tonica di Monti, fuori da Cernobbio i fan del generale vedono il loro beniamino contrapposto ai tecnocrati cattivi, in una platea ostile, vittima del solito dagli al fascista. Il tragicomico, al solito, ci sommerge.
Vannacci e Conte sono due varianti della stessa feccia filo-Cremlino, solo che il doppiopesismo moralistico della sinistra ha scelto di santificare il secondo e di demonizzare il primo.
Kicked off an international working trip with our team, focused on advancing our new initiatives in digitalization and defense tech.
First stop — a meeting with Italian Minister of Defense @GuidoCrosetto.
I expressed my gratitude to Guido for his personal support and for the offer to serve as his Advisor on Defense Innovations. I am deeply thankful for this trust and strategic partnership. In this role, I will assist Italy in adopting modern warfare technologies, enhancing its defense sector, and adapting to emerging global security challenges.
Ukraine and our team possess unique, real-world experience in high-tech warfare that we are eager to share with our allies. At the same time, my primary focus remains unchanged: I continue my work in Ukraine on core projects that strengthen our defense and help attract international resources.
During our meeting, we discussed drones, autonomous systems, air defense, and building out the defense tech ecosystem.
The future of defense belongs to nations that can rapidly test and scale new solutions by pairing cutting-edge technology with robust manufacturing. Ukraine’s experience can serve as the foundation for Europe’s new defense model.
Our international trip continues. Ahead are key meetings with partners regarding digitalization, defense tech, and launching new collaborative projects.
An announcement: Under the leadership of Mario Draghi and @patrickc we have set up the Rhine Group: policymakers, economists, entrepreneurs and business people pushing European reforms and the Draghi agenda.

It has been a great honor to serve the Ukrainian people as the Minister of Defense.
Here is what our team managed to achieve:
1. Disabled Starlink access for Russian forces.
2. Took over a Ministry of Defense with zero budget, took a risk, reallocated funds from payroll from the end of the year, and effectively invested them in mid-strike capabilities, fiber-optic FPVs, low-cost reconnaissance, ground robotic platforms, interceptor drones, and deep-strike drones.
3. Launched "Logistical Lockdown", this cut off enemy logistics and initiated the isolation of Crimea.
4. Continued the funding program for the Drone Line.
5. Launched a support program for modern drone-assault units that rely primarily on advanced technologies in combat.
6. Introduced a 70% advance payment policy for procurements made via e-Points on the Brave1 Market portal.
7. Fundamentally overhauled the procurement system.
8. Procured thousands of pickup trucks, buggies, and ATVs for the military for the first time—and did so through open tenders.
9. The drone interception rate rose from 83% to 91%, and the cruise missile interception rate soared from 47% to 87%.
10. Contracted Patriot PAC-2 GEM-T missiles for the first time, and submitted an application through an EU loan to purchase PAC-3 missiles.
11. Launched a baseline drone supply system for brigades and corps.
12. Launched a massive grant program for manufacturers of explosives and missiles.
13. Initiated an unpopular but vital transformation of the military.
14. Conducted three UDCG meetings, where we successfully broke through the Russian information trap claiming our defeat, restoring partners' faith in Ukraine. This secured $40 billion in support announced for this year (excluding the EU loan).
15. Launched the mechanism to utilize the EU loan for our military priorities.
16. Found a way to scale cheap missiles against jet-powered Shaheds and signed a record-breaking contract.
17. Our domestic ballistics. We radically revised the technical specifications, maximized accuracy, and reduced the cost by 30%.
18. Signed a contract to procure Gripen fighter jets.
19. Collaborated with the military to plan and execute Operation Auchan, which halted the enemy's mechanized offensive for six months.
20. Opened up exports under the Drone Deal program to attract investment and scale up domestic defense-industrial complex (OPK) production.
21. Launched the Trophy Lab, providing partners with the opportunity to study captured Russian military technologies.
22. Launched the Defense AI Center A1 to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence on the battlefield.
Thank you to my entire team for their relentless 24/7 service. A special thank you to my family for their patience.
Thank you all for your support!
I will continue to work toward the mission I originally brought to the Ministry of Defense: defeating the enemy through asymmetry, the speed of innovation, and the power of organization.
To be continued.
Il sistema pensionistico italiano, così com'è, non è sostenibile. È la prima voce di spesa pubblica, comprime tutto il resto e grava sempre di più sul lavoro. E quasi nessuno, in fondo, si è pagato la propria pensione: a pagarla è chi lavora oggi. Ne parliamo nella newsletter.

Per tutti quelli che hanno visto il contenuto di Mario Tozzi contro i condizionatori: un condizionatore classe A++ in Francia emette MENO di un ventilatore in Italia a parità di ore di utilizzo.

Non so nemmeno da dove cominciare dopo aver ascoltato il senatore Alfieri (PD), che stamattina dialoga con l’ambasciatore ucraino.
Non comincerò dall’aspetto morale di cosa significhi chiedere all’ambasciatore - “cosa siete disposti a cedere per la pace?” - proprio la mattina/1
Dieci anni fa i vip pugliesi (Al Bano, Caparezza, Negramaro, Emma Marrone, etc) lanciarono una campagna social complottista su Xylella per "difendere gli ulivi". Ora, dopo 21 milioni di alberi seccati, sono spariti: a difendere gli ulivi c'è Helen Mirren. https://t.co/rfskZPo2u2
Today, the European Union took a major step forward.
All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova.
At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process.
It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions.
This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges.
And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable.
Enlargement is a strategic choice.
By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent.
In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest.
Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.

I am proud to announce the world's most comprehensive Italian electoral simulator. I spent over 20 hours since it is so convoluted.
It includes:
-Chamber and Senate simulation
-Rosatellum and Premierato system to choose from
-Interactive Maps
-And more
