If you want your mission-critical drone to beat enemy AI and fly 3x longer on the same battery… …if you want to commission your power-short/cooling-bound data center before your bonds come due… Go @MythicInc Glad for @DCVC to work with @FutureJurvetson on this journey
For AI inference, analog is better than anything digital can achieve. “Energy efficiency will define the future of AI computing everywhere.” — Mythic CEO Taner Ozcelik As Mythic’s first investor, I wrote: “Mythic is taking a radically novel approach to building low-power,

Physics is cool. Most boats will throw you sideways during a turn. But we programmed N30 like a fighter jet- it executes a perfect coordinated turn. Eg, 28 knots, bank angle~25deg… but almost zero lateral G forces. Keep a glass of champagne on the table and it won’t spill!

The quiet AI drug discovery firm w/ more big pharma deal value than almost all of its private peers *combined* @DCVC & @nvidia backed @RelationRx has ~$200M in upfront, >> *$$ billion* in milestones, & royalties on top, across just a handful of the top 10 pharmas Link follows

The plan was clean. The escape? Not so much. Midway City doesn’t play fair. Wishlist this 4-player coop heist FPS on Steam today.

the USMCA mexico loophole is costing american suppliers $15-30 billion per year in displaced revenue. this isn't protectionism vs free trade. it's about whether "rules-based trade" means anything when the rules get systematically laundered. the numbers: → 1,300+ chinese

The Chinese planes that locked radar on the Japanese aircraft were communicating an imminent threat. The Chinese military has been acting belligerently for years, by firing lasers etc. But this radar lock is a much more serious threat and needs a serious response.
🇯🇵 Japan has upheld peace for 80 years.But peace must not mean silence in the face of deliberate danger. 🇨🇳 A Chinese J-15 fighter locked its fire-control radar on a 🇯🇵 Japanese F-15J over international waters southeast of Okinawa.This is not “routine.” In global military

China's ability to massively subsidize its long distance fishing fleet allows it to overwhelm countries like Argentina. These fleets then over fish the waters causing financial and ecological problems for the smaller nation. The CCP must be held accountable for these actions
Argentina has deployed it's entire Navy to tackle the menace of illegal Chinese fishing boats swarming inside it's territory. However, this has changed nothing. The Chinese fishing boats continue to illegally swarm inside Argentinian territory & steal away the scarce fishing

China's massive fishing fleet are over whelming some areas. For example, around the Galapagos islands some stocks have dropped 90%. Fishing is another industry that China's use of subsidizes damages many other countries and in this case may cause famines.
@mrbcyber Soon there'll be no choice but to curtail all fishing for probably decades to restore remaining species if oceans can restore at all, being among the most interdependent nutrient chains. Letting China have its way now will soon cause catastrophic global famines. @ExtinctionR

Remarkable story of high school team who used CRISPR to make a rapid diagnostic test strip for Lyme disease, speeding dx from 2 weeks to days
Lambert High School in Georgia was the only U.S. school to place in the high school top 10 at iGEM, an international synthetic biology competition. The other top teams included one from South Korea, one from Taiwan, and seven from China. https://t.co/1NfIKjbozP

Digital borders are an essential part of national cybersecurity - if you don’t want hostile foreign actors interfering in your society. This is also why systems like @DetectDeepfakes are so important, as deepfakes are where bad actors *inside borders* are already turning
X’s great unmasking of account location is a monumental step toward online transparency. And it reminds us that in a borderless online world, digital borders matter.

🚨FRAUD ALERT🚨 Robots with undisclosed backdoors, kill switches, or remote access & control functionalities implicate state consumer fraud laws. Sales to state & local gov't should be especially scrutinized, given the security implications. https://t.co/uER8cucTZu
Great story in @thewirechina tonight profiling @UnitreeRobotics and the rise of China’s robotics industry. Unitree’s bots are now so popular and inexpensive that even @DeptofWar researchers are using them. Maybe worth looking into, @PeteHegseth & @ElbridgeColby.

An act of war — economic and food supply devastation at the same scale as bombing someone — is still an act of war, even if done with “fishing boats” Countries should respond in kind and defend their seas and interests
The PRC ignores the rights of other countries to their own waters. In this case they are fishing in Peru's territory. All the countries facing this aggression, Japan, Philippines etc should start calling out the CCP. Maybe on X.

As China gears up for conflict — our security is on the line: ❌Norway uncovered kill switches in CCP-made buses ❌CCP attempted to steal state secrets from British Members of Parliament ❌CCP is throwing an economic & military tantrum because Japan believes in self-defense

We should not be selling advanced AI chips to America’s mortal enemies, given tons of demand at home Chip vendors arguing “if we don’t sell Stalin tanks, he’ll make his own!” are “selling the rope with which they’ll be hanged” — along with America, to which they owe everything
America’s Chip Restrictions Are Biting in China—Shortages of advanced AI chips are so acute that Beijing is intervening and tech companies are resorting to workarounds @Lingling_Wei @AmrithRamkumar @RWhelanWSJ

H200s are better inference chips than B30As — the very chip that Trump blocked Nvidia from selling to China. No advanced AI chips for America’s adversaries.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the decision to authorize sales of Nvidia’s H200 artificial intelligence chips to China is on President Donald Trump’s desk https://t.co/WmfJYE2CJ8

This is insane. Beijing is working to poach U.S.-based biotech innovation WHILE also investing in militarized applications. We should be insulating our industry from CCP exposure, not deepening it.
Pharma giant Pfizer is currently looking to hire somebody whose primary job would be to coordinate and be buddies with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

This is a massive home run for public health, and hopefully illuminates a similar path to success for other anti-parasitic approaches Congrats to the @Novartis team that drove this outcome
To put the unfathomable impact of this treatment into perspective: about 200–350 million people have died from malaria over the past 100 years, including 15–20 million in just the past 25 years. This cure could, in theory, reduce deaths to near zero & save millions of lives!

Great to see @MythicInc still at the top of the chart 😈 @FutureJurvetson and @DCVC backed the Mythic team a few years back because we expect that lead to keep growing nonlinearly, for fractions of the $ that others are spending just to catch up…
Just added Tesla's A15, Google's new TPU 7 and Mythic's next analog ASIC to the Moore's Law chart. Humanity's capacity to compute has been compounding exponentially for 130 years now. This graph spans a 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000x improvement in calculations per constant $
