That quote rings past just basketball.
Nori was asked bluntly why the Ja and Dame pairing is working: “They both want to win, they’re both very selfless players, they’ve both been there, done that — [Dame for a longer time than Ja]…” “It’s amazing what you can accomplish when no one cares who gets the credit”

A great outlook on AI in general beyond video games in all honesty.
The games we've long wanted, which didn't exist because they'd cost several times more to make than they'd earn back, will soon become possible. As will the games developers wanted to build, but couldn't with the resources available. It'll be a new golden age of gaming.

A Kalshi hedge, wild.
ドジャースタジアム周辺で多くのバーを運営する企業が、ドジャースのワールドシリーズ敗退による売上減を補うため、予測市場カルシで「進出しない」に6万ドルを賭けた。結果は約2倍のリターンとなり、追加のプレーオフ試合で得られるはずだったバーの売上の損失を補填することができたという。賭けサイトについては否定的だけど、こんな救われ方もあるのだなと。 reuters.com/sports/la-restau…

If it doesn’t say micro-machines… it’s not the real thing!
After six years in stealth, Atomic Machines is out. Our mission: on-demand, universal command of matter. First beachhead: the Matter Compiler, an AI-native manufacturing system that builds working micro-machines from code alone. No per-product tooling. No process development. Different code, different machine.

Under rated post right here
Next year, we're going to launch a spacecraft that will be given zero commands from Earth after it separates from the launch vehicle. The spacecraft will attempt to complete all of its mission objectives with no human operator in the loop. Today we’re introducing Autonomy-1, powered by our spacecraft intelligence model, Solo. 🧵

Most people have not, and will not, read this. And in fact Anthropic probably didn’t either. Because if they did, they would realize that the mobile scroll of text over graphics makes it extremely difficult to actually read, and it over simplifies the entire situation 🤦🏽‍♂️
Anthropic’s Economics team is sharing a new model of how AI might affect economic growth, jobs, wages, and more by 2030. Explore the scenarios, tell us what you think will happen, and see how your answers compare to more than 10,000 Americans. anthropic.com/institute/econ…

The beginnings of a dyson sphere
Orbital data centers want dawn-dusk sun-synchronous orbits, because that's where the sunlight never stops. So the satellites ride the day/night terminator. I propagated one to see what it looks like from the ground. You see the sunset fine, but looking east you see this.

Okay so the Oasis is not going to be a metaverse? Or does this fund that eventually… 🧐
Today we introduce OASIS 1. 

The smart ring built for private dictation. Whisper to write. Touch to edit. 

A first step beyond the keyboard toward a world where your intent follows you across every device.

Order at oasisdevices.com first batch is limited.

Two weeks ago, watching Agnessa Pedersen mind control a drone in real time, was one of the most moving moments in my career. Agnessa is a rare and wondrous human working towards a wild future.

Excited to kick off a new project this year. We’ve partnered with The Understory Initiative to produce native grass seed for ecological restoration projects. Over the course of the project we will be investigating opportunities to incorporate new technologies to improve yields and reduce operating costs, all part of our mission to make regenerative agriculture and architecture more achievable!

Bad reporting, Ceres was first. Glad to be working with them too. So much more respect for the land and animals.
Halter announced today the launch of direct-to-satellite connectivity using SpaceX's @Starlink for its smart cattle collars, a world-first that removes the need for cell towers or on-ranch infrastructure. "Using Starlink enables ranchers to manage cattle anywhere they can see the sky. Combined with a suite of new tools for reproduction, animal behavior, and precision pasture management, the release significantly expands what is possible for cattle ranch management. Beef ranchers in remote and rugged regions that were limited by connectivity can now turn to virtual fencing to run more productive and sustainable operations - at a time when they face rising fuel costs, labor shortages, and an aging workforce pressures." Halter’s internal modeling estimates direct-to-satellite capability expands coverage of the U.S beef cattle market by 2.5x. Until now, Halter’s solar-powered, GPS-enabled collars relied on Halter’s proprietary long-range radio towers. With direct-to-satellite, the collars can communicate via Starlink, eliminating ground infrastructure entirely.

Space Economy ⚡️
We’re announcing two new partnerships to bring innovative energy generation and storage to our data centers: 1/ 🛰️ Space Solar: Partnering with Overview Energy to beam up to 1 GW of space solar power from orbit to Earth for around the clock power production.

Insane that we'll end up producing 99% of our energy from space, and send it down as intelligence. Literally no other way to send this much energy back — intelligence ended up being the densest form of energy we discovered.

100% agree over digitization will create a real world experience value boost.
"We're about to see the explosion of analog." @garyvee wants to open a restaurant that makes you check your phone in at the door and seats you at communal tables. "Extreme AI is creating extreme analog. I think it's a barbell." "I could not be more interested in physical retail, event-driven businesses, in concerts and venues." "There are a lot of interesting non-digital realities that are coming as a countermove to the insanity of AI advancements." "We're literally within a half decade of not believing a single video that's on the internet. In 5 years, if we're having this interview, most of the audience is trying to figure out if we're real or not." "That is very real, and has substantial counter-opportunities." "Any real entrepreneur, they're not crying about AI killing them. They're curious about how AI at scale is going to create opportunity for them."

Sci Fi is real life now. What an era this will be 🤯
We are working to restore mobility that was lost due to disease or spinal cord injury by allowing participants to control robotic arms with their thoughts. See how this is possible.

Everyone is talking about technology debt when they should be talking about technology currency. Think about what that means.

This for the training data? 🤔
JUST IN: SpaceX has secured the right to acquire Cursor AI for $60 billion later this year.
