🚇📦 SF Express is going underground! In Shenzhen, SF Express's self-driving delivery vehicles now operate fully autonomously between the Futian transfer center and subway stations. The "drone + metro" system cuts transfer time by 50 percent and boosts local delivery efficiency by 20 percent. So far this year, over 2 million parcels have been moved this way. City logistics just got a major upgrade! ⚡🤖 #Shenzhen# #SFExpress# #Logistics# #DroneDelivery# #Innovation# #SmartCity# #Metro# #Automation# #FutureLogistics# #Guangdong# #Tech# #AI# #Efficiency#

A new smart city pilot in Bellflower, CA, is bypassing traditional, power-hungry cloud data centers to bridge the digital divide. By processing data locally using Intel Xeon processors at the edge, the network delivers high-speed internet to residents and small businesses at a fraction of the usual cost and power. With our partner Tradewinds Networks and @Dell, we plan to scale this modular, low-cost infrastructure blueprint to 50 additional U.S. cities. Read more:

Defenders argue that Chinese-backed ‘safe’ and ‘smart’ city technologies offer efficiency gains for automating cities. But experts say Beijing could gain access to sensitive data and, in extremis, flick a ‘kill switch’, shutting down a city’s operations

Data shown exclusively to the FT reveal that more illiberal countries are placing orders for Chinese ‘safe’ and ‘smart’ city technology: 41 of 64 customers were ranked as ‘not free’ or ‘partly free’ regimes, according to Freedom House, a US non-profit

Scarcity is NOT the natural state of the world. Did you know we produce food to feed 10 billion people, have enough sunlight to power all of civilization, and now have unlimited access to humanity's entire knowledge?  This is a LOGISTICS problem.

Scarcity is changing today's investment landscape. From labor and energy to infrastructure and capital, supply constraints are influencing growth, inflation, and markets. At the same time, AI is accelerating the path toward abundance. On the latest episode of The Bid #podcast#, host Oscar Pulido sits down with Jean Boivin, Head of the BlackRock Investment Institute, to discuss the BlackRock Investment Institute’s Midyear Outlook and the three themes shaping the second half of 2026: #AI# scarcity, durable income and investing beyond traditional asset labels. 🎧 Listen:

Precautionary Scarcity (noun) When fear of concentrated power becomes so intense that society suppresses productive capacity itself and mistakes stagnation for safety. 20th-century version: fear concentrated capital so much that you impede capital formation. 21st-century version: fear concentrated superintelligence so much that you impede intelligence formation. The shared error is confusing capacity with control. Marx wanted the productive forces expanded, not abolished. Effective Altruism wants suffering minimized, yet can risk counting harms caused by AI more heavily than the cures, abundance, and lives lost when progress is delayed. The pathology begins when: “No one should control that much power” quietly becomes: “That much power should not exist.” The challenge is not to prevent abundance. It is to create abundance without creating unaccountable domination.
