Is this the world’s greatest love poem? The story of the Xuanji Tu (the ‘Star Guage’), by 4th century Chinese poet Su Hui, is too incredible not to be shared @RnaudBertrand 🙏

This made me think

With its new National Security Strategy, the US is effectively saying that international law is dead. Only sovereign strength matters now. Going forward, it will use its financial, technological and military strength to impose its will on everyone, friend and foe alike. We are

Everyone who cares about kids mental health should be rooting for Australia’s social media ban for under-16s to succeed.

I saw an elderly Chinese gentleman, who must have been in his eighties, working out next to me in the gym this morning. Later I saw him walking away, frail but perfect posture, using a cane. Mad respect

Hey, could Grok's voice-to-text skip uhs and ums? Clean transcripts would be a game-changer for rereading. @grok @xsupport #GrokFeatureRequest

It’s taken awhile, but looks like Alphabet has now leapt to the front of the LLM pack with Gemini 3. No one should be surprised: these guys developed the first version of this new AI tech, and have the best data set in the world, including YouTube, the world’s biggest video

From here on out, China should be on a downward emissions path. It’s remarkable to think this has arrived 5 years ahead of schedule. In the next 5 years, renewables will more than close out the energy gap and begin active displacement of coal in the energy mix. China set a

I’m at a the Green Future Innovation Challenge in Shenzhen, where we’ll be selecting the most exciting innovations from over 1,000 applicants in 70 countries. The winners are in 4 key areas: - Energy transition, - industrial decarbonisation, - pollution reduction and -

For those who are wondering about the comparison between the current AI stock bubble and the 2001 dot com version, here’s the cheat sheet: Nvidia = Cisco AMD = Nortel Networks Apple = Sony Tesla = Nokia / Research jn Motion Meta = AOL Amazon = er… Amazon Alphabet =

I would never short a stock or even a market index. Not because I don’t think stocks will drop, but because Keynes’ famous adage is true: “markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent”. The problem with putting on a short is that there is a specific time frame

Has China just produced another DeepSeek moment? Looks like Kimi 2 is blowing people away with its performance. But best of all is the cost - less than 10% of ChatGPT 5 with decent quality. And if the figures are true that it cost only $4.2mn to train, that’s a tiny fraction

I expect that all Chinese LLMs will be banned in the US in the coming months. We will be told that this will be for ‘security’ reasons. But this will be gaslighting. Chinese LLMs are open source and can be run standalone on US servers. No data needs to be shared with anyone

The game is the goal

This is what it’s like living through the Singularity. Every day brings a fresh miracle, & within minutes, it’s already become normalised and we move onto the next thing.

“Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity, or great power in government. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless.” Warren Buffett’s final letter

Humans are amazingly adaptable. Every day I talk to my smartphone and it responds like a highly intelligent human. This is a miracle yet already feels mundane.

It still amazes me that AI has easily surpassed the Turing test, the previous gold standard test for whether machines have achieved human level intelligence, and nobody seems to act as if that’s a big deal
