Quick summary of what is happening with LLM model companies in China. 1) There is more VC $ available for open-weights than you think, 2) they are generating real revenue (as did open-source sw/saas companies in the West).

Many thanks to President Trump for bringing common sense action to the issue of psychedelics.

Too many of my friends I deployed with have come home with invisible wounds and when seeking help, are given bags of prescription drugs by the VA to try to numb the pain, only to make things worse.  Friends of mine like Medal of Honor recipient @dakotameyer have shared how receiving treatment with psychedelics have been nothing short of life changing and lifesaving.  

President Trump took historic action today by signing a deeply impactful Executive Order that will open the doors to advance psychedelics research and treatment for our veterans and all Americans battling addiction and post traumatic stress. Stanford studies of this kind of treatment show an 88% drop in PTSD symptoms, 87% in depression & 81% in anxiety—one month later, veterans went from moderate disability to none.

This action is long overdue and could save countless lives.

Researchers at MIT have captured, for the first time, the dynamic process that marks the very beginning of life: when an egg cell is fertilized, it triggers waves of activity that ripple across its membrane.

These waves act like a biochemical signal, initiating the complex sequence of events that drives the cell to start dividing and developing into an embryo.

Why not just pretend to help Elon with the new Roadster's manufacturing, and then kick him out of the co, raise $$$ and then rename it "OpenRoadster" ?🤔

The idea of using Tesla’s as “local AI servers on demand” - Domino’s Delivery for Inference is genius

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

Elon Musk came up with a pretty incredible idea during the Q3 Earnings Call, that no one is really talking about.

His words: “Actually, one of the things I thought, if we've got all these cars that maybe are bored, while they're sort of, if they are bored, we could actually have a giant distributed inference fleet and say, if they're not actively driving, let's just have a giant distributed inference fleet.
At some point, if you've got tens of millions of cars in the fleet, or maybe at some point 100 million cars in the fleet, and let's say they had at that point, I don't know, a kilowatt of inference capability, of high-performance inference capability, that's 100 gigawatts of inference distributed with power and cooling taken, with cooling and power conversion taken care of. That seems like a pretty significant asset.”

So basically, each car has ~1 kilowatt of high-performance AI inference capability, Tesla wouldn’t need to build giant data centers — the fleet is the data center.

Tesla could turn their entire fleet into a giant distributed inference network, spread across the world, powered by the batteries and AI in the car already.

Mind blown.

The rigged-poker-game indictment unveiled on Thursday reads like a Hollywood heist film, featuring NBA stars and the Mafia. It also involves the high-tech hacking of casino-quality card shuffling machines. https://t.co/XVGHA2fT0h

Eric Weinstein presents a stunning and urgent thesis: the fundamental progress of theoretical physics was deliberately and mysteriously halted in the early 1970s. We have been living in a state of intellectual stagnation for over half a century, with our deepest understanding of reality frozen in time.

The evidence is chilling.

He points to a meeting where Marc Andreessen was reportedly told by the Biden White House that they had deliberately stagnated fields of theoretical physics. This is not an accident; it is policy.

The data is undeniable. Look at the age of the youngest living Nobel Laureate in theoretical physics. For generations, this number remained below 50, signaling a vibrant field producing groundbreaking work by young minds. Then, around the rise of string theory as the dominant "theory of quantum gravity," that trend stopped. The youngest living laureate is now over 70. The field is no longer generating the kind of results that shatter paradigms and win Nobel prizes.

How was this "soft sunset" of the world's brightest minds achieved?

A small group of institutions took a few theories—string theory preeminent among them—and cocooned them, declaring them the "only game in town." All competitor theories were systematically starved of funding and credibility. Careers were ended for those who dared to look elsewhere.

The mechanism of control was a mantra, repeated until it became unquestioned dogma: "Quantum gravity is the holy grail." This single, narrow focus became the entire purpose of fundamental physics. Yet, as Weinstein notes, this "holy grail" barely existed in the scientific lexicon before 1972. The pursuit is a safe, sterile one that threatens no existing power structures and leads to no tangible technological breakthroughs.

But this terrible realization contains a seed of profound hope. If we can identify this manufactured stagnation, we can break free from it.

The imperative is existential. Earth is our womb, not our home. To secure an indefinite human future and traverse the cosmos, we must move beyond our current, incomplete physics. We must surpass Einstein's speed limit of 'c'. The tools are too powerful to remain confined to one planet.

The path forward requires revitalizing Western science, but our greatest competition is not where we think. While some fear the rise of China and India, Weinstein argues the true intellectual threat—and potential—lies with the world's greatest mathematicians in France.

We are at a precipice. We have a brief window of vitality before geopolitical pressures erupt. If we choose to revitalize physics, to shatter the cocoon and encourage dangerous, heretical ideas once more, the rewards could be the universe itself.

The end of physics is not a surrender; it is a finish line we have yet to cross. Reaching it may bring wonders beyond our imagination and a future among the stars that is glorious indeed.

The stagnation was a choice. Progress can be one, too.
