Render of Chacchoben, Mexico: “Place of the Red Corn” swallowed by the Quintana Roo jungle for centuries. Its Maya temples still wear traces of the red paint that once made them glow. No one even knows its real name. Having it all to ourselves? Unreal. #Chacchoben#MayaRuins

Following breakthrough results, we’re bringing longevity medicine to human trials.
We’ve raised a $435M Series C led by @foundersfund to make it happen.
Reprogramming cell age has the potential to create more healthy years for everyone. We're closer than ever to realizing it.
The boring heat pump is obliterating gas demand in Europe: heat pumps will cut 30 bcm of natural gas demand out of European buildings and light industry, each year, by 2030, a permanent structural erasure of gas demand
>30 bcm is about 20% of the entire annual output of the US LNG export infrastructure
>It's also 19% of Qatar’s entire annual global LNG exports, pre Hormuz
>And 80% of the total capacity of Russia's Power of Siberia 1, which ships 38.8 bcm/year to China
In Germany for example, heat pumps have outsold gas boilers for the 1st time in modern history. In the US, they've beaten gas boilers for 4 consecutive years
Every single heat pump is a non-reversible eviction notice for a fossil gas pipe

BREAKING: First sequencing of the Hantavirus from the outbreak.
-99% identical to a June 2018 case from a patient in Argentina
-10.4 SNV/year mutation rate
- The Andes genome is about 12 kb across three RNA segments. At 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻³ substitutions/site/year, that translates very roughly to 1-12 SNV per year
-Completely in line with a natural spillover in Argentina from the rodent host in 2018 and now in 2026

BREAKING: Anthropic's pre-IPO valuation surges to a record $1.2 trillion, rising another +20% in 7 days.
This officially puts Anthropic's implied valuation up +900% since October 2025, per onchain pre-IPO trading data.
Pre-IPO instruments trading onchain on Jupiter, backed 1:1 by SPV exposure, are providing a real-time proxy for the company’s implied IPO valuation.
This now makes Anthropic ~20% larger than OpenAI's pre-IPO implied valuation.
If Anthropic were to IPO at a $1.2 trillion valuation, it would be the 11th most valuable public company in the world.
The AI Revolution is accelerating.

HUGE News Borgers!
SwissBorg has officially secured MiCA authorisation for crypto-assets in Europe. 🇪🇺
To anchor our European operations, we sought approval from the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), widely recognised as one of the most rigorous and demanding financial regulators in Europe.
This approval marks a definitive milestone in our ongoing commitment to providing a secure, transparent, and fully compliant wealth management platform for our community. 🧵👇
we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.
####
today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.
first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.
we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.
i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.
a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.
we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.
to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.
to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.
