Well, ladies and gentlemen, Starship of @SpaceX has for the first time reached the orbit and contributed with a real commercial work (delivery to orbit of the first set of @Starlink V3 satellites). It is also the largest man made object delivered to orbit in a single launch!
Starship performs its orbital insertion burn and enters orbit of Earth for the first time

I'm very excited for this one! @AstroForge will launch their interesting Autonomy-1 mission (fully autonomously driven space mission) on @stoke_space Nova Pathfinder fully reusable rocket. These are two pioneering projects connected into one launch. What can possibly be more exciting than this?!
Stoke's updated manifest for the Nova Pathfinder launch is out. Thanks for the ride, @stoke_space – we're thrilled to partner with you on Autonomy-1. stokespace.com/news/Manifest…

Mistänkt valfusk i Dalarna. Jag är jätteledsen att säga: “the usual suspects” 🙁. Utredningen är inte än färdig, men första tecknen tyder inte på något annorlunda. Tyvärr, Sverige behöver laga vidare den här typ symptom, och det är inte socialdemokrati som kan göra det, eftersom den har starka incitament att göra precis tvärtom. svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/dalarn…

Acquiring @IridiumComm will be one of the most transformative deals in the space industry, making Rocket Lab a fully-integrated, self-launching, tier-1 space power that delivers critical communications capability to millions of users worldwide.
Rocket Lab CEO @Peter_J_Beck breaks the entire space industry into 3 simple layers, from rockets to the services we use every day: "I probably shouldn't have called it Rocket Lab. I should have called it Space Lab. The rocket always steals the show because it's this big roaring stick in the sky." "Rockets, that's about a $10 or $20 billion industry. Spacecraft, the tools in space to provide services, 20 to $30 billion. And then the reason why you do all of those things are applications in space." "Space is kinda weird that it's hidden infrastructure. You don't drive past it every day, so you don't see it. But everybody interfaces with space every single day, whether you realize it or not." "We build rockets, we build satellites, and with our acquisition of Iridium, we're also a services company from space." @RocketLab

This seems quite scarce in the X feed, so I'm reposting. It appears that Chinese leader Xi Jinping had an acute health issue. While the details are not yet fully verified, one of the politicians from the Chinese Democratic Party provided some information.
据传,习近平在印度主办的金砖峰会上晕倒,经随行医疗团队的紧急救治后,提前结束对印度的访问,搭乘专机返回中国。飞机抵达北京机场后,北京当局没有安排大批官员接机,也没有组织欢迎仪式,而是用军用直升机,直接将习近平送到了北京301医院,进行急救。 据称,经北京301医院专家团队的诊断,确定习近平患了严重的缺血性中风,也就是短暂的脑梗死。由于习近平怕印度方面获取他的身体健康信息,所以,他拒绝在印度医院进行紧急救治,而是搭乘专机返回北京救治。由于飞行途中,没有手术条件,医疗团队只能痛殴保守型治疗,维持习近平的生命,因此,习近平已经失去了黄金急救和手术时间。在北京301医院,习近平即使能通过手术进行治疗,但很大的可能性,会留下严重的后遗症。 目前,北京当局还无法确认,习近平能否在访美前恢复健康,所以,北京当局还在等待,看是否需要取消9月下旬的访美行程。

I have just finished @elonmusk biography by @WalterIsaacson. I had my vision of the man, based on what I have seen in “legacy” and social media about him, and I have not expected significant update on it. Now the image of the most impactful innovator of our times seems more complete with all the background stories of the life behind the courtain of all the spectacular world-changing success of his companies. “Sometimes great innovators are risk-seeking man-children who resist potty training.” Before judging the man, I highly rcommend to read the book.

This is all a fun simulation for someone 😂
just realized that DARIO AMODEI is an exact anagram for AI DOOMER AID we're in a Harry Potter novel...

Great to see an important voice coming out with a sane and cold headed piece, against the regulatory and monopolistic capture of the AI frontier. Also, I would add that not only one or two few safety oversight organizations (like METR) should be involved, to avoid easy unwanted capture of such.

This is so absurdly stupid. 40 "Member of Parliament", elected member of the British House of Commons, demand a ban on superintelligence. How is it possible that the politicians of a continent that achieves nothing in AI and is completely lagging behind are the ones making the strongest demands for a ban and regulation of AI? Just absurd.
BREAKING: 40 British MPs have signed a letter to Prime Minister Andy Burnham calling for a ban on the development of superintelligent AI.

Latest AI doom wave led by @hilbertspaess deemed to be a psy op by @elonmusk. What do I think? Agree with Elmo, looks like the models are powerful, can do agentic magic, but the scale and intent toward doom has to be injected by humans. The solution: let the competition on, support as many competitors as possible, and make sure the development follows Asimov’s laws of robotics.
I think the groundwork for this psy op (for lack of a better term) has been prepared for a long time. This was just the match that lit the fire.

Big one indeed: Tailwind joining @Shopify . Adam clarified this does not change anything for the users and Tailwind remains under MIT license. No panic, all cool, keep building.
Big one today — Tailwind is joining Shopify 🛍️
