Very interesting work at the intersection of AI and kidney stone cutlery. Liv from Bloomberg would like to send you a phishing link so you can hand over your account (going on for months, x admins sleeping as always)

This is a starter BOM for Tunnel Boring Machines and High Altitude Spraying Machines
Obviously a small start. But you have to start somewhere.
Necessity is the mother of invention and all that.
Builders will figure out a fully localised BOM.
Build. Build more. There's no other path.
India might be the focus of China's new export controls on construction machinery.
India is not called out explicitly, but China is now prohibiting certain machinery to "sensitive countries and regions that have disputes with China" 与中国存在争议的敏感国家和地区.
These include:
- Tunnel-boring machines, which China has appeared to limit to India in the past
- High-altitude concrete spraying machines (above 3,000 m altitude), which might be about military construction in the Himalayas

For 25 years, Salesforce, SAP and enterprise software were built around one assumption: humans operate the software.
We’re changing that.
Introducing ERP•AI and Proto: business software built for agents, and an agent that operates business software.
Describe the system you need. ERP•AI builds it.
Then Proto takes over. It manages records, runs workflows and executes actions inside the software you just created.
This is Headless SaaS.
1: get ERP•AI
2: build your SaaS
3: post below

4 cohorts. simple 2x2 matrix
a: can code + want to build
b: can't code + want to build
c: can code + don't want to build
d: can't code + don't want to build
with AI:
a: gain 100x power. unstoppable
b: biggest unlock. this is your moment
c: chill
d: rip
there’s a quiet renaissance underway in cohort b. the number of people who want to build something has always been far greater than the number who know how to code.
if you haven’t been a coder but you want to build this is the best time to exist.

Steve Papa is in a league of his own. Easily one of the best entrepreneurs of our gen.
- built Endeca to a $1.1B exit in 2011 (back when billion dollar exits were very rare)
- incubated Toast (founders were ex Endeca PMs)
- took on the incredibly complex telco industry with Parallel Wireless
His range is extraordinary.
Give him a follow @stevepapa20

Launching RoomTSC: a (very) small lab in SF working on a room-temperature superconductor.
There's no way we can make tall claims. Nobody has found one since superconductivity was discovered in 1911 and we may not either. It may take years, months - who knows. But what we can do is try our best.
What we want to show is how far a scrappy lab with limited resources can get on a moonshot. AI lets you work on moonshot ideas with few resources, which is the only reason a team our size can attempt this.
If it works as a template, we hope more people take on problems like this.

Sundar Pichai today
🚨😂 COMEDIC GOLD OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE!
🇺🇸 TRUMP: “Sundar [Pichai], you wanna say something?”
🇮🇳 PICHAI: “First of all, thanks—”
😂 TRUMP: “This guy is a MONSTER, and nobody knows him. What a great life! To be a MONSTER and not have to go through this. All you have to know is — SUNDARR! Sundar is his name.”
🤣 PICHAI: “Hopefully a better tagline than I’m a monster!”
Everyone is cracking up outside the White House 😂🔥
Trump really knows how to turn a serious moment into comedy! 🇺🇸

I once again urge India’s city planners, to the extent that any actually exist (which I highly doubt) to see this

55k ICLR submissions this year. Up from ~1k in 2018.
AI will do what the printing press did.
The printing press didn’t make every book better. It made publishing cheap enough that vastly more people could produce and distribute ideas.
That meant more junk, more mediocre work, more propaganda, but also far more science, philosophy, literature and technical knowledge.
AI pushes the same dynamic one layer upstream. It dramatically lowers the cost of creating intellectual work itself: papers, code, analysis, experiments, designs, arguments, hypotheses.
So yes, a lot of it will be slop. That’s the bell curve. More low quality, more mid, more high quality.
The thing is - at this volume you get far more edge cases, unexpected combinations, failed experiments, strange ideas and breakthroughs.
Edge cases. Remember that. Flying was an edge case once. We need more edge cases that stretch the envelope and push us forward. This is how we get there.

there's this team obsessed with lobbying and funding influence operations. we'll call it neighbourispr. it launches a proxy PR war on X.
zen master says we'll see.
it aggressively fuels anti-indian sentiment, exploiting anti-immigrant resentment and targeting what it sees as india's growing economic strength.
zen master says we'll see.
for a while, it seems to be working.
zen master says we'll see.
then the people and movements it helped empower begin turning against it. the political force it tried to cultivate becomes a liability of its own making...
