My dear small in number, but mighty followers! I need your help! I want to help and raise money for a quantum physics experiment, any help, connection, advice, seemingly silly idea, meme is most welcome! I helped to raise 600k in 2024 Q4 and I am aiming for 6M in 2025. Links in the comments to avoid deboost, thx @elonmusk

I am Soo ready for this, inject this into my veins, proto
In November we will begin Revery’s first phase, starting with The Day I Met You. We have spent the past few months defining a new frontier production process and developing our proprietary technology. Now we are putting it into practice by producing our first 4D short film. This includes volumetrically capturing our actors using 200 cameras for each scene and designing photorealistic 3D environments in which we will integrate them. We will release a 2D version of the film for cinemas and phones, as well as a fully immersive and interactive experience. We will organize private screenings in a few cities, followed by Q&As with selected guests, where we will discuss the film, its technology, and more importantly, the ideas behind it. Exciting times!

I asked the following question from employees of all of the AI labs a year ago in SF: Are you building an Artificial Slave or AGI ( Artificial Person ) They did not even understand the question, but based on their answer and approach: they are all building the former not the latter.
NEW: Dario Amodei has said that AI systems "may be deserving of important rights." Anthropic's top safety researchers argue AI may be "justified in going rogue." Experts at Google and OpenAI worry about a digital "slave trade." So do some government officials. Once relegated to science fiction, the idea of "AI welfare" has become shockingly mainstream at some of the most powerful companies in the world. It is changing the way AI research is conducted and the way models are programmed. And critics say these changes have raised the odds of all kinds of catastrophic scenarios—including the ones these companies are warning about. I spent months investigating the frontier labs and AI "safety" experts seeking to regulate AI. What I found was a profoundly anti-human ideology that would alarm the average citizen and could determine the future of a world-altering technology.🧵 freebeacon.com/america/suici…

Cells run on code. If you want to learn what makes them harder to code than computers, how much AI speeds it up, and about the robotic labs we build and sell at @ginkgo check out new Grow Everything Podcast. Links below! Thanks @messaginglab, @karlschmieder, and @erumazeez for having me on for the 200th episode!
Should we use @ginkgo’s autonomous lab to test if Claude’s gene editor actually works ? Lmk what you think

You guys are getting paid?
My twitter feed is just an endless list of people paid by Dustin Moskovitz/Jaan Tallinn pointing out that other people are paid by Marc Andreessen/Greg Brockman and vice versa

Replying to @ID_AA_Carmack
I can assure you we have already been working on revisions to the planetary protection policies to bring them back in line with the common-sense principles originally established by COSPAR in the early days of planetary exploration and later reflected in Article IX of the Outer Space Treaty. We are needlessly adding extreme cost and time to robotic missions to Mars when the overarching goal is to send astronauts there as quickly and safely as possible.

Hydrocarbons are renewable now!
I've been storing this one for quite a while! We now officially supply chemically pure grade methane in California with our partner @westairgases. Photos are with our first externalized six pack during the spring. An insane amount of hard work went into making this happen. I try not to think too much about the blood sweat and tears of the last five years but this milestone makes it particularly sweet. westairgases.com/news/terraf… Terraform is hiring! If you're an ambitious technically minded savant, Terraform is an incredible place to get exposed to every aspect of building a hardware business from sales and hiring to design test and analysis!

Never forget that you are attacking his character not his argument because you don't have any, thus making what you are saying irrelevant + Your whole philosophy is unfalsifieable as @banteg so eloquently put
Never forget Zuckerberg is the guy who found out 10% of revenue on his platform is from adverts for scams (enabling ~$50bn/year of theft from Americans), and chose not to do anything because it would hurt profits too much. Not the ideal source of advice on how much to regulate AI.

a zk based identity system you say? 🤔
Rumor mill is saying the SEC is gearing up to revamp KYC requirements so users only need to KYC once to access tokenized securities onchain. Our sources are saying this would enable composability across different onchain venues & tokenization platforms to let users clear more volume by splitting orders across venues using a zk based identity system.

I’m joining the 2026 O’Shaughnessy Fellowship! Thanks to Jim and the @osvllc team for believing in the vision before the path is obvious. Nothing is taken for granted. Working harder every day to create something truly great.
I'm delighted to welcome @DimitriVallein to the 2026 @osvllc Fellowship!

She is right and I hope every service jumps from KYC to ZK proofs This would be the "No cash on premises" solution we desperately need
🚨 LATEST: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce says zero-knowledge proofs could verify compliance without collecting users’ personal data. She warns current KYC/AML practices create “data haystacks.”

Tabletop quantum gravity experiment explained It needs funding Imagine being this close to unlock new physics and the only thing you need is money to buy equipment
Is gravity quantum? It's one of the big open questions in physics. The Bose-Marletto-Vedral experiment, proposed by Chiara Marletto, Vlatko Vedral and colleagues, would test whether gravity alone can entangle two tiny masses. In a new paper with @DavidDeutschOxf, the three FQxI members set out how constructor theory could be put to experimental test. Walkthrough based on art by @ConjectureInst.
