Behold, dear humans, the wonderful video and voiceover artistry by the great and powerful @ani7sh and @meena_jain
This video combines quotations from the opening and closing paragraphs from my book, Even God Herself.

We built PlanAssist to help UK Government planning officers speed up building and renovations across the country.
Built with Gemini, it has shown it can cut the time planning officers spend assessing householder applications by up to 58%. It is now being made available to 12 more councils to help them to make faster decisions. 🏡 → goo.gle/4iQXYkl

Neuralink: “to help create a future where a doctor never has to say ‘I’m sorry, there’s nothing else we can do”.

Our second product is called Blindsight and it will, as the name suggests, enable even those who are completely blind or have never seen to see.
It is ready from an engineering standpoint. Just waiting on regulatory approval.

This is f*cking insane. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just told DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis:
"Every decision I make about Claude is balanced on the edge of a knife. Build too slow and China wins, build too fast and we lose control
We told Claude we were evil. It didn't crash. It didn't refuse. It started lying to protect itself"
In this 14-minute conversation, Hassabis answers:
"Do I worry about being Oppenheimer? That's why I don't sleep much"
Chatbots → Agents → Agents That Act On Their Own → AI Doing AI Research → AGI
Both of them put AGI at 2026-2027, not some distant future
By the end of this year, models will already be doing AI research on their own
95% of people still think AI is a chatbot, the 5% who watch this know what the next 12 months look like
Worth more than any $1,500 AI course
Bookmark and watch it tonight
Then read the harness engineering guide below and start building agents before 2027 does it for you ↓

Despite the sober tone, it seems that AI will soon own both mathematics and mathematical physics. Is physics next? And then what?
OpenAI announced AI-generated proofs in mathematics, computer science, and physics, and is experimenting with expert-led collaborations to turn raw model output into verified scientific understanding.

This is an incredible moment in this history of mathematics, computer science, physics & science with some of the hardest problems in human history being solved by AI over a period of weeks. Depending on your perspective, it's either a crisis, a triumph, or both. I don't think anyone knows for sure. We're all trying to make sense of it. I oscillate between fear/dread and optimism/excitement on a daily basis. The rate of progress is insane, including today's announcement from OpenAI of more problems solved.
To help make sense of all of it, here's my conversation with three mathematicians about this moment. Each of them is an expert in the field of each of the biggest problems solved: Navier-Stokes, quasi-Riemann hypothesis, the unique games conjecture and complexity theory more generally.
Ankur Moitra is a mathematician and theoretical computer scientist at MIT, visiting the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Steven Brunton (@eigensteve) is a mathematician and fluid dynamics expert at UW. Alex Kontorovich (@AlexKontorovich) is a mathematician at Rutgers specializing in number theory.

I offer four glimpses of a future worth wanting - four visions of existential hope.
First, imagine if some of today's most painful limitations can soon be overcome - that much which we are currently resigned to accept can instead be challenged and vanquished.

Expect a mind-expanding discussion tonight at Fleet Street's Ye Olde Cock Tavern, as members and friends of London Futurists challenge standard assumptions about the future, the role of technology, and the role of trust. RSVP here to join us, 6pm onward luma.com/gqp6i6q8

Almost showtime! Excited to be one of the lead keynote talks at the Portugal Digital Summit 2026 in Lisbon with thousands of attendees. I'm speaking on AI and transhumanism.

My new talk on Biostasis, AI, and the Future of Self. Sparks Biostasis is now just $36K. Affordable for most Americans. Would you preserve yourself at death if it was "free" (covered by health care), you believed it would work, and several of your loved ones had done it? Will your Personal AI become an ever more intimate *part of yourself* as you use it, from now till your death? Will your Personal AI want you to preserve your incredible complexity and uniqueness, rather than letting it rot? Will it want you back in the Extraordinary Future, to better remember and improve itself? youtube.com/watch?v=Kposx0Nv…

BREAKING: Ukraine has carried out the world’s first medical evacuation of a human via a drone from the battlefield the 30th mechanised brigade of Ukraine managed to save their injured comrade from a minefield.
Just absolutely insane.

If we want to continue progress in science, we must be prepared to acknowledge that the correct description of nature will eventually simply be too complicated for humans to understand. I do not think it is wise to make human understanding a requirement. AI is the way forward.

Researchers at USC found that DNA enhancers—regulatory switches that control gene expression—form interconnected 3D networks in prostate cancer, with certain “master” enhancers activating multiple cancer-promoting genes.
