On the rocking jets of @Emirates bro!!
YouTube is becoming the default television network of the internetā¦
Netflix still has incredible shows and enormous cultural reach, but YouTube has something structurally powerful: an effectively infinite content engine, every niche imaginable, creators publishing continuously, and an algorithm that keeps learning what you want to watchā¦
The interesting question is whether traditional streaming can keep competing for time, because that seems to be the metric YouTube is quietly winning
Weāve had AI breakthroughs, quantum breakthroughs, flying carsā¦
But this may be the technology that finally unites humanity
Feels like the security debt of the last 20 years is starting to come dueā¦
Phones, browsers, certificates, programming languages, IoT⦠everything is interconnected, and AI is making it much cheaper to probe the weak links at scaleā¦
Absolutely bullish that cybersecurity is about to become one of the defining industries of the next decade
In the last 24 hours:
1. iPhone 11 through 16 are apparently vulnerable to remote attacks.
2. SSL certificates are broken until browsers remove eMudhra CA.
3. PHP >9 vulnerability CVE published (tomorrow).
The world is about to witness things that have never been seen before.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post's iPhone claim is inaccurate; a leaked Cellebrite forensic tool targets a Bluetooth bug patched in iOS 26.5 and does not affect updated devices. The eMudhra CA and PHP issues are real incidents but framed sensationally.

php.net
This is the kind of thing that makes me think weāre only at the start of a much bigger cybersecurity reckoningā¦
A few compromised CA keys can undermine trust across huge parts of the internetā¦
And as AI makes finding and exploiting weak infrastructure cheaper, I suspect weāre going to uncover a lot more of these buried fragilities
private keys from 8 intermediate CA certs have been compromised (eMudhra)
Happy "Update everything" day to all my pager-carrying friends

I find Ray Dalioās framing much more useful than the usual āAI bubble / no bubbleā debateā¦
Even if AI delivers the productivity gains everyone hopes for, that doesnāt automatically make every investment around it rationalā¦capital can still be misallocated, expectations can still get ahead of reality, and great technology can still produce terrible returns for people who paid the wrong priceā¦
Weāve seen that movie beforeā¦the technology can be transformational and the financial cycle around it can still get messy
Of all the recent arguments Iāve heard for why we might be in an AI bubble, this one from @RayDalio alarmed me the most. Much of the justification for the massive capex is based on the idea it will usher in an era of unprecedented productivity. But he says that even if we do see a productivity miracle, all sorts of other things have to happen to ensure there isnāt a crash.
Ray and I went deep on all of the dynamics at play with a potential bubble. I hope you watch and subscribe: youtube.com/watch?v=OAN7gQleā¦
Wonderful readā¦
What I found useful is how wide the range still is on something as fundamental as how much revenue all this AI infrastructure actually needs to generate by 2030ā¦
Depending on the model, the hurdle is anywhere from roughly $0.5T to almost $3T a yearā¦
That spread alone tells you how much uncertainty is still hiding underneath all the confidence around AI capex
Side by side, 2030 AI infrastructure revenue hurdles from Goldman Sachs, Bernstein & Cummings, Van Nieuwerburgh ā and our own at @ExponentialView.
We explain why our 2030 revenue expectations diverge from consensus here: investmentbrief.ai/p/2030-reā¦
Been mulling over this a lot, latelyā¦
We spent decades designing friction out of life, and Iām increasingly convinced some of that friction was doing useful work for usā¦
Walking to a shop, calling someone instead of messaging, fixing something before replacing it, getting a little lost, waiting, planning, hosting people at home⦠all of these demanded effort, and that effort often created memory, skill, patience and connectionā¦
Maybe a good life needs a little resistance
Reddit really does have everythingā¦.
Somewhere on there is a person asking whether their sourdough starter is alive, someone identifying a 17-year-old cable from one blurry photo⦠and apparently someone quietly documenting Theranos before the rest of the world caught onā¦
At this point, Iām convinced every major event has a Reddit post from five years earlier that everyone ignored
This may be my favourite AI benchmark yet.. š
254 million tokens, 9 hours, a swarm of agents⦠all to reverse engineer Linux source code that is already publicly availableā¦
A beautiful reminder that AI can now do extraordinarily complicated things, and we humans can still give it completely unnecessary jobsā¦
The future is hereā¦efficiency may take a little longer
Last night, a swarm of Opus 5.5 agents working for 9 hours and burning 254.2 million output tokens were able to fully reverse engineer and decompile the Linux source code
Full source archive available here kernel.org
Grab it before they take it down
This is absolutely wildā¦
We mapped the brain of a fruit fly, turned that wiring into something executable, and now it can navigate worlds that never physically existedā¦
Thereās something almost philosophical about that: a tiny biological intelligence, lifted out of nature and dropped into a synthetic universeā¦
The line between neuroscience, simulation and AI is getting very strange, very quickly
I think this is where vibe coding gets genuinely excitingā¦
A TV used to be something you bought and mostly accepted as-isā¦now you can look at an interface you hate and think: Iāll just make my ownā¦
That is a pretty profound shiftā¦personal software is starting to escape the laptop and move into the physical objects we already own
Funny how familiar this pattern isā¦
From horseless carriages to driverless cars, 130 years later a lot changedā¦yet something are the sameā¦
I think we often underestimate how much social adaptation matters in technological change..the machine can be ready before the rules, habits and public comfort around it areā¦.
History keeps rhyming
I keep thinking quantum computing is one of those fields where the breakthroughs sound abstract right up until they suddenly donātā¦
Getting āmagic statesā to 99.99% logical fidelity may sound like a niche technical milestone, but ..looks like these states are one of the key ingredients for making useful, fault-tolerant quantum computers practical. Google says the new method cut errors by about 40x on Willowā¦
We are still some distance from large-scale useful quantum machines, but the bottlenecks are getting chipped away one by one
BREAKING: Google, $GOOGL, announced a major quantum computing breakthrough.
It achieved a record 99.99% accuracy producing āmagic states,ā a key ingredient quantum computers need to run any calculation reliably, per Science.
The work was done on Googleās 105-qubit Willow chip.
I have to admit, flying cars still trigger the child-in-me immediatelyā¦š
Weāve spent decades being promised that the future would look like this, and most of the time it arrived as better software, faster chips and nicer screensā¦
Seeing an actual car lift off the ground feels delightfully old-school futuristic
Geek dreams are made of this!!!!!

Apple calls the iPad a computer.
So I built Linux for it.
I built LinPad OS - Linux for iPad.
- Desktop windows + a real terminal
- No jailbreak. No VM.
Free & open source (pre-release).
What is your iPad missing?

Hmmmm Parry, that was a hard one....
Analogies are good, but putting NFAK and McDonalds as analogous calls for a blasphemy verdict!
The kind of thing that makes the semiconductor industry feel almost absurdly impressiveā¦
We talk about chips as if theyāre tiny, invisible pieces of technologyā¦till you remember that making them requires a 180-ton machine, dozens of containers, cargo aircraft, specialist teams and billions in supporting infrastructureā¦
Thereās something humbling about how much physical complexity sits underneath the digital world we take for granted
The delivery process for ASML EUV is nuts, too:
ā«ļøEach EUV weighs 180 tons
ā«ļøA disassembled EUV takes up to 40 shipping containers
ā«ļøShipping it (mostly to Asia) takes 20 trucks and 3 Boeing 747s
ā«ļøASML teams must be on-the-ground to maintain them
ā«ļøThe minimum spend to house EUVs is $1B (machine, transportation, ongoing maintenance etc)
