I went to get an elective MRI for my back just to see if things have improved. No pain, no doctor's note.
At checkout, I hand over my old tourist Emirates ID, fully prepared to pay. The guy said, you have a new local Emirates ID now, right? I hand over the new one. The guy said, it's free. Welcome to UAE.

There is $10 trillion in AI data center capex that can't be built because the grid can't deliver the power, not for lack of money. GPU manufacturing through 2030 demands roughly 230 gigawatts. The US grid can deliver about 100. We brought in Ramez Naam to answer one question: how do we power the singularity?
-- Even Texas, the most aggressive grid in the country, can't deliver hundreds of megawatts before 2031.
-- The four paths to a terawatt of AI: deserts with solar and batteries, fission or fusion, the oceans, or space.
-- Southern Ocean data centers: wave-powered, free cooling, 2¢/kWh target, built in factories. Three in the water.
-- Battery costs have dropped 14x since 2010. Sodium-ion could drop them another 10x. A solar + battery plant in the UAE now costs $6/watt.

🇪🇹 Meet the "Stick Boys" of Ethiopia's Banna Tribe.
They carry long sticks while moving through the Omo Valley, partly to help spot and avoid snakes in the tall grass.
Nature plays on hard mode out there.

New! What if aging is a symptom of cells losing the ability to read their genome - and there’s a reset switch?
That’s the idea behind the Information Theory of Aging (ITOA)
A new paper @NatureComms by Cohen et al provides strong support for the model & its reversibility 🧵👇

A humanoid robot will cost us $30K and works 24/7 for $0.40/hour. A solar panel generates electricity for 3 cents/kWh. What exactly is the argument that we CAN'T create abundance?

Imagine this: there are more robots walking around than humans… and they cost less than a car
That’s the bet.
In the next couple of decades, humanoid robots could scale into the billions, not as sci-fi props, but as everyday workers. And at a price point of $20K–$25K, that changes everything.

The coolest meeting I had this week with was Paul, who used ChatGPT and other LLMs to create an mRNA vaccine protocol to save his dog Rosie. It is amazing story.
"The chat bots empowered me as an individual to act with the power of a research institute - planning, education, troubleshooting, compliance, and yes, real scientific design work in converting genomic data to a vaccine prescription and designing the treatment protocol around it. But they worked alongside humans at every step. The combination is what made it possible."
It immediately got me thinking "this should be a company".
Also, Paul is an extraordinary guy. This should be easy to do, but it is not yet.
