This has never been more true. The opportunity cost of endless planning and contemplation just went way up. Agents allow you to just try vastly more stuff, so let them, and you'll learn way more, way faster.

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.

@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems.

AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency.

This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work.

We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government.

Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution.

The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.

The UAE is an exceptionally well-run place.

Along with Singapore and El Salvador, it’s one of the most important small countries in the world, because it’s a startup state.

There’s a book on how it was built by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The UAE Minister of AI @OmarSAlolama points to a historical precedent of premature technology regulation motivated by fear: the ban of the printing press in 1515 by Sultan Selim I led to the decline of the Ottoman Empire.

“We overregulated a technology, which was the printing press. It was adopted everywhere on Earth. The Middle East banned it for 200 years. The calligraphers came to the sultan and said: ‘We’re going to lose our jobs, do something to protect us’—so, job loss protection, very similar to AI. The religious scholars said people are going to print fake versions of the Quran and corrupt society—misinformation, second reason. It was fear of the unknown that led to this fateful decision."

I see a big shift in perception of Dubai among me and my friends vs years ago

Years ago: ehh weird place for ppl with no taste born into money driving sports cars

Now: everywhere else it’s getting harder for startups to do business, while Dubai is making it easier, maybe nice

Walked out of the elevator of the Four Seasons in Abu Dhabi and four people came up and said hello in the first 90 seconds…

UAE feels like Silicon Valley in 2009, founders and investors everywhere

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

The UAE 🇦🇪 deserves a lot of credit for being forward thinking on crypto. First dedicated crypto regulator in the world, a clear rule book published (!), business friendly plus strong customer protections. Really enjoying my visit so far.

[Omar Sultan AlOlama @OmarSAlolama]

The ultimate goal of government is to improve the quality of life of its people, this comes first and foremost in deploying proactive regulations and programs in sectors that will create economic growth, while informing people on its opportunities and trying to regulate risk

[Suhail @Suhail]

There's no upside in hating on someone's idea. You come off as non-believer or ruin their confidence. Instead, just ask the questions that make you hesitate & let them come to their own conclusion. If you're right, you helped them think it through. If you're wrong, you'll learn.

[Helen Czerski @helenczerski]

A friend has just shown me this book "Calculus made easy", published in 1914, and I think it's got one of the best prologues I've ever seen. This is *exactly* what textbooks should be doing. And they should all be honest about how terrifying the topic names are too.
