Truthfully I cannot trust a person who believes this argument to act as a virtuous and moral human, and, it is terrifying to think this archetype of moral reasoning has a massive influence on the production and distribution of something as important as AI

DC Deep Tech Week has officially wrapped. Across six days, the program drew 3,691 unique registered attendees—including 695 founders—to 26 public events throughout Washington, DC and Northern Virginia. Twenty-eight startups and 47 organizations presented across a week of founder talks, technical presentations, panels, demonstrations, screenings, roundtables, showcases, startup crawls and community gatherings. Thank you to the hosts, organizing partners, venues and sponsors who made the week possible

Why AI Will Save The World By Marc Andreessen The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out. Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it. 🧵

Wow - @pmarca called this three years ago. TL/DR every bad regulation has a plausible sounding moral cover story—and a secret industrial interest that stands to benefit Regulatory capture is evil.

The energy in DC was incredible - there are people shoulder to the wheel at the highest leverage positions in the world accelerating a science fiction future into reality. See you next year at DC Deep Tech Week 2027, mid September.

The fly has entered the afterlife, a liminal shifting course of lessons and mini-games, destroyed and created in an endless cycle. One can only guess at how such dreams will bleed through the Droso-Akashic Records into Earthly Flies as moments of Pure Satori with human culture

We really have to drop the Dyson Sphere nonsense, it's like looking for smoke signals The ultimate computer is a Black Hole, and the universe is teeming with these It's also likely what our universe is

All of biology is an electromagnetic phenomenon; you are an electromagnetic entity; your experiences are electromagnetic interactions. This isn't speculative, there just aren't any other relevant forces. It ain't gravity (too weak) or the weak or strong force (too short-scale).

Austin Deep Tech is going to be awesome. There's factory tours every day, hardware showcases, parties almost every day. It's probably the best chance to get up to speed to everything deep tech that's cooking in Austin.

This is the future humanity is going to experience, the colonization of Mars. There will be a first 100 colonists. Then robotic constructor robots. Digging habitats, purifying water, refining materials, doming cities, seeding lichen. There will be environmental protests against terraforming, they'll get overwhelmed by economic interests. Booming corporate mining towns and independent free cities connected by high speed vacuum tube rail. Advanced gene therapies achieving longevity escape velocity. It's crazy but it's all going to happen, its now inevitable. The greatest infrastructure buildout in history will compete to industrialize the high frontier of space and enable a genuine Martian colonization program. And it will occur at the same time as humanity masters its own biology. There are people alive today who will live to see a breathable atmosphere on Mars.

The European policy on AC can only be described as sadomasochistic environmental policy enforcement Intentionally inflicting pain on their population to get more political buy-in for decarbonization Sinking their national economies for 2-3 weeks of Chinas CO2 output

Nuclear Batteries are completely slept on 100x-1000x energy density of Li-Ion, decades long duration of stable power output Rovers on the dark side of the Moon Deep space satellites far past the Belt Drones lying in wait for years at the bottom of the ocean

Humanity is going back to the frontier – but this time to stay.   And the frontier won't be held by a few large platforms, it'll be held by fleets and constellations of systems numbering in the thousands. That requires a category of distributed power at a scale the world has never built. Until now.   My latest on why we're industrializing nuclear battery production at the historic Vallecitos Nuclear Center:
