This sounds like so much fun!
The AI physical Olympics will be held in Tel Aviv 🇮🇱!! Details and registration below!
Tel Aviv, May 18–19, 2027. 10,000 people in the arena.
Forget scripted, pre-recorded demos where the robot succeeds on take 47. This one will be live!
The P.AI Games—organized by the Israeli National AI Directorate | Prime Minister's Office and led by Guy Altagar—is putting embodied AI to the ultimate test:
10 real-world arenas. $1.35M in prize money. Live scoring in front of an arena crowd.
Here are the events:
→ Pick up oily crystal glasses and pack a dishwasher in under 8 minutes without cracking one.
→ High-speed dynamic baton handoff between two moving robots across a 20-meter track.
→ Face off in real over-the-board chess against another robot, moving pieces and hitting the clock.
→ Balance a raw egg and a full tray of water up an incline ramp with zero spills.
→ Grab a 14-lb bowling ball and take down a full rack of pins.
Humanoids, quadrupeds, wheeled bases, custom manipulators—every morphology is welcome. Whether you want to dominate a single niche challenge or take on all ten, this is where the bar gets set.
No entry fee. Plus, participating teams receive dedicated financial support to make the trip happen.
If you run a robotics startup, lead an OEM team, or build cutting-edge embodied models in academia, this is your arena.
Drop a comment or DM me if your team wants to throw their hat in the ring—I'd love to see you on the floor.

PLEASE HELP MAKE THIS YOUNG MAN FAMOUS
Yotam Budnik is a 12th-grade student from Rehovot 🇮🇱 just won a gold medal at the International Olympiad in Informatics in Uzbekistan but was not allowed to compete under the Israeli flag.
When Yotam was awarded his medal 🏅 stepped onto the podium, pulled an Israeli flag out of his pocket and wore it in defiance of the Anti-Semitic discrimination.
While the medal 🏅 was revoked from him for his courage, he has no regrets
"The law that prevents me from waving the flag is based only on politics, and I thought there was no place for that in a scientific competition", he said.
The organizers demanded that he return his medal.
Yotam said no.
Organizers took away his certificate and removed his ranking from the website.
Please help make sure the world knows the name Yotam Budnik and that he is not only a world class computer science genius, but also a man of courage and pride of the Jewish people 💙

Built this to attempt to ascertain how legit an AI agent is.
We see so many, but which are quick and cheap to build and which take time and money to build? 🏰

🇮🇱Huge thanks to Israel for training the Republic of Somaliland’s first cohort of water engineers. This vital support strengthens our ability to manage water for people, livestock, agriculture, and industry—boosting food security and economic growth when it matters most. A true friend shows up when it counts. 💧🤝

I'm teaching databases this semester at Berkeley. My students all seem unusually brilliant. Not many go to office hours, and not too many folks post on the course forum asking project questions.
Weirdly, the exam had the lowest recorded average in my 10 semesters teaching it.

Can naloxone raise the dead in cardiac arrest?
Dillon et al “Naloxone and Patient Outcomes in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests in California” looked at this question.
The results challenged what I’ve thought for a long time.

Israel journalist @Roi_Yanovsky just published an amazing piece in Hebrew about what Gaza is REALLY like, based on his personal observations there. Here is an English translation that you NEED to read🧵

Dear Palestinians 🇵🇸
This is what Gaza, Ramallah, and East Jerusalem could be like if we chose peace and economic development instead of trying to militarily recapture Tel Aviv and Haifa.
We wasted hundreds of billions of aid on tunnels and weapons.
