China just turned 40 cities into one giant supercomputer. Their new 34,175-mile AI network (CENI) connects data centers across the country with 98% efficiency. Before: 699 days to move 72TB. After: 1.6 hours. #AI #Supercomputer #Geopolitics

If the system holds out long-term, it could significantly boost AI development in China.

The Moore’s Law moment for physical matter. Not just digitizing info anymore; we’re digitizing the physical world. When robots are cheaper than the dirt they're cleaning, scarcity becomes a choice not a constraint. #Microbots #TechTrends #FutureIsFaster

The microbots have tiny computers, sensors, and actuators. They can sense temperature and swim autonomously.

AI is finally starting to "think" like a human, and it’s costing us 100x the energy. @huggingface just dropped a bombshell: reasoning models are energy hogs. But here’s the bright side: This is the "vacuum tube" era of AI. The leap from 100x energy consumption to 100x

Rushed GPT-5.2 release followed a Google threat alert. Price is up 40% on the API. The race to AGI is now prioritizing corporate revenue defense over safety, and are we paying for their panic? https://t.co/tMLOsBNp7g

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected.

🚨Allergy Breakthrough: This month, a team from the University of Toulouse in France presented a long-lasting treatment in a one-time shot that rewires a part of the immune system, completely preventing anaphylaxis. https://t.co/bqtFAwCxm1

The vaccine stopped runaway allergic reactions for a year in mice. It could evolve into a blanket therapy for food allergies, from peanuts to shellfish.

As AI wheedles its way into our lives, how it behaves socially is becoming a pressing question. A new study suggests AI models build social networks in much the same way as humans. https://t.co/DfpwwrKmrX

GPT-4, Claude, and Llama sought out popular peers, connected with others via existing friends, and gravitated towards those similar to them.

The AI industry is making a $800 Billion bet on a broken bridge. Scaling laws are guiding massive investments, but they could fail like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge did when scaled too far. Intelligence is more than just size. https://t.co/f5Q23orIb7

History says we can’t be too sure.

One-time gene therapy might be the solution to Hunter syndrome. The team is recruiting other children with Hunter syndrome in the ongoing clinical trial to further test safety and efficacy. So far, results are incredible. https://t.co/tRQiOy1k3z

Months after the one-and-done treatment, a three-year-old boy with Hunter syndrome is thriving.

Our orbit is being trashed. Exponential growth in launches demands an exponential solution. Scientists say we must abandon the "use once" model and adopt a Circular Space Economy based on repair and recycling in orbit. #SpaceIndustry #Sustainability

Hot Take: ChatGPT is NOT conscious. Cognitive scientists argue behavior is deceptive. To find real consciousness in AI & animals, we must look at the machinery, not just what they do. This redefines the search for sentience. #Consciousness #AI #LLM #Neuroscience

Behavior can be deceptive. What matters for consciousness is not what you do, but how you do it.

Regulatory innovation (single safety trials) + "plug-and-play" Base Editing (a CRISPR offshoot). This shifts gene therapy from a slow cure for one to a platform for millions with rare diseases. https://t.co/x8iYkKQXwZ

Gene editors usually take years to test and perfect. KJ Muldoon’s treatment took only six months. Now his doctors want to go even faster.

Forget competition. The AI industry is consolidating into "The Blob," a single, trillion-dollar entity led by @nvidia, @Microsoft, and @Google. Nvidia controls the chips (90%+ market share) and the software moats (CUDA), while MSFT/Google control the cloud infrastructure and the

The AI Investment Frenzy is reaching a critical inflection point. The challenge isn't the technology's potential—it's the enormous cost and the widening gap between hype and profitable demand. The industry's maturity depends on converting dazzling innovation into concrete,
