I'm always excited to meet people who are optimistic about the future, think that we can be so much more than we are now, and have experience with bringing dreams into the physical world.

Some data we recently assembled on entrepreneurship/compute in Europe: eudata.vercel.app.
We hope that one of the useful roles that Stripe can play is in collecting and publishing empirical data pertaining to entrepreneurship and industry in Europe. There's growing appetite to get Europe on a better footing, and cross-sectional comparisons can often shine light on where opportunities lie. If you're interested in this kind of thing, we publish more at stripeeconomics.substack.com.

very exciting!
Today, Pioneer Labs is announcing our first step towards terraforming Mars. 🚀🌼
With equipment that fits in just a single rocket launch, we can convert Martian dirt, water, and air into enough building materials to construct a small city on Mars.
To do it, we made the first microbe for Mars. We found the best microbe on Earth and used evolution to teach it how to source all of its nutrients directly from Martian materials.
The first astronauts will be greeted with safe shelter already filled with water, oxygen, and rocket fuel for the return journey.
This is the first step toward using biology to make Mars a friendly place for life. It lets us live off the land and helps us build the next great frontier.
It's the first of five organisms we need to green Mars ⬇️

i think i am most excited about ai as a means to transhumanism. a future in which we cede control of ourselves as humans is a negative one. merge yes, change yes, be transformed and unrecognizable yes, but never surrender

the fruit fly “brain” isn’t anything close to an uploaded fruit fly, but i do think it’s a harbinger of a day that maybe isn’t too far away when we will be unsure whether an animal’s brain has been digitally reproduced faithfully enough to warrant moral consideration

my post singularity projects are nanotech and mind emulation, my pre singularity projects are learning to be human and building rockets
