Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Germany:
"Nothing pains me more, frankly, than to see one of the most technologically advanced countries to be left so far behind in technology.
And I think the reason for that is this: maybe it's the European way to overthink everything.
Germany has so much talent. Just get to work." x.com/rowlsmanthorpe/status/…

The car industry had a century to build an electric car people actually wanted. It didn’t.
The aerospace industry had sixty years to make a rocket reusable. It didn’t.
The telecom industry had decades to connect the billions it couldn’t profit from. It didn’t.
One person looked at all three and started crossing them off.
Reusable rockets that land themselves. Electric cars that outsell their gas-powered rivals. A satellite network that beams internet from orbit to any point on the planet. A platform where speech is no longer filtered through a handful of editors. A chip inside a human brain that lets a paralyzed person control a computer with their thoughts.
And now a car that flies.
Six companies. Six industries. Each one operating at the frontier of its field while feeding engineering, data, and capability back into the others.
The rockets fund the satellites. The satellites fund the rockets. The cars train the robots. The AI runs them. The platform keeps the conversation free. The energy powers all of it.
People keep waiting for him to fail. They have been waiting for twenty years.
The rockets were supposed to explode. They land on boats. The cars were supposed to be toys. They outsell everyone. The satellites were supposed to be impossible. They connect six continents.
The brain chip was supposed to be science fiction. It is inside a human skull right now.
At some point the pattern stops being luck and starts being something the critics are not equipped to recognize.
Not because they lack intelligence. Because the framework they use to judge what is possible was built inside the institutions that couldn’t do what he does.
The conversation about Elon Musk has never been about Elon Musk.
It has been about how uncomfortable it makes people to watch one person accomplish what entire industries organized themselves to attempt and never finished.
History does not produce this combination often. The drive. The technical depth. The pain tolerance. The willingness to let the mission burn through everything else. And the insane ambition to attempt all of it at once.
Every one of these technologies would have arrived eventually. Reusable rockets. Electric vehicles. Global connectivity. Brain interfaces. None of them violated the laws of physics.
But eventually can mean fifty years. And fifty years is the difference between your grandchildren seeing it and you seeing it.
The most overlooked thing Musk has done is not any single invention.
It is how much of the future he pulled into the lifetimes of people who would have died before it arrived.
Earth does not get many of these.
And the people still betting against him are making the same mistake every industry made before he walked in and did the thing they said couldn’t be done.

King David I’s building of abbeys across Scotland shaped its values and culture. Building beauty for the glory of God is a blessing to the world.
A view through the C12th west doorway of the monastic church at Jedburgh Abbey in the Scottish Borders. Initially founded as a priory in 1138 by David I, it became an abbey in 1154. 📸 My own. #MedievalMonday #JedburghAbbey

Elon Musk loves kids.
At the FIFA World Cup final, a group of kids asked him to hug YouTuber Fidias. He listened to their simple request and made it happen.
A small gesture that says a lot about someone who takes time for children and follows through, even on the little things.

Every physics teacher you had lied a little. An electron isn’t a tiny dot flying down a line, it’s this.
This is a Gaussian wave packet, the simplest quantum particle there is, straight from the Schrödinger equation. The blue spiral is the wavefunction. The red dot is where a classical ball would be.
The bell tells you where it probably is. The twist tells you how fast it’s moving. Squeeze one and the other blurs. Not because our instruments are bad. Because the universe doesn’t allow both.

More shocking Anthropic testimony! 😮
The company reportedly plans to put Claude in charge of its entire research process as soon as NEXT YEAR, and an alignment researcher privately says this comes with a 5% risk that Claude will be PLOTTING AGAINST HUMANITY on day 1 of that handoff.
What's worse, this alignment researcher considers that threat "not that big of a deal"!?! So negligible that he's planning to switch teams internally! 😱
We could be facing a 1-in-20 chance of a catastrophic misalignment next year, and Anthropic's own safety expert could hardly be bothered! I think I'm starting to understand why @hilbertspaess resigned!
This might sound like hearsay, except that it was relayed *on the record* by none other than ex-OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo (@DKokotajlo) in front of British Parliament.
Here's a snapshot from Daniel's testimony:
"I'll share an anecdote from talking to someone at Anthropic a few months ago."
"A year from now, two years from now, it's Anthropic's plan to essentially put Claude in charge of the entire research process within Anthropic, including the safety aspects of the research process."
"I asked this person: 'If and when that happens, what is the probability that Claudes will be plotting against Anthropic and against humanity at that point?'"
"This person said: 'It's more like 5%. Not worth worrying about. I'm in fact going to transfer away from the alignment team because 5% is not that big of a deal.'"
"I came away from this conversation being like, 'oh my gosh!'"
"This person's job is to prevent this sort of thing from happening, and they think the risk is a 1 in 20 chance of it happening in the very near future in a way that would be catastrophic. And they think a 1 in 20 chance is low enough that they shouldn't really worry about it."

Very exciting and crucial to see the big problems.
INTEL’S CEO SAYS QUANTUM GOES MAINSTREAM IN THREE TO FIVE YEARS
Lip-Bu Tan said it at a financial conference in Singapore this week. Not a quantum startup raising money, the CEO of the company that built the chip industry. He also noted he personally owns some $IONQ.
Intel missed mobile, and was so late to AI that the US government took a 9.9% stake in the company last year to keep it standing. Tan was brought in to stop it missing anything else.
Intel’s quantum bet is unlike anyone else’s. IonQ traps ions, Google chills superconductors, Infleqtion holds atoms in lasers. Intel makes its qubits out of silicon, on the same 300mm tooling that prints its processors. If the physics scales, Intel can stamp out qubits by the million in fabs it already owns.
A 12-qubit Intel machine went live at Argonne National Lab in January. Next target is hundreds of qubits. Small next to the pure-play roadmaps. The difference is Intel doesn’t need to build a factory first.
Google says useful quantum by 2029, Anthropic says its AI just made the circuits 17x cheaper, the WTO was told encryption has five years, now Intel says three to five. The dates are converging.
$INTC $IONQ $INFQ

A direct interface between humans and AI raises serious concerns once you start scaling it beyond narrow applications.
I don’t exactly trust a company led by Shivon Zilis to navigate those risks responsibly.
And I’d be surprised if Neuralink employs enough independent AI ethicists to meaningfully challenge decisions internally … if any are given real influence at all.
Too often, ethics teams are treated as obstacles instead of safeguards. 🙄
