It’s kinda crazy to me that we melt sand down, clean it to 99.99999% purity, literal wizards have to draw it slowly into an ingot, we cut it, inscribe a hundred billion little on/off switches on it, and when you run electric current through it you can do basic arithmetic, which when you do enough of it can do any math on the planet, and which describes reality well enough that we can teach it the ontological meaning of words and their distance from each other on a high-dimensional space, and if you ask, it can tell you what word comes next and that apparently is powerful enough that if you do it a hundred billion times it’s the smartest thing to ever exist oh yeah and we use this primarily for email

Well said Vas. AI will help us conquer disease, but this will take time, effort and lots and lots of data that doesn’t exist, yet. I would add that robotic labs will begin to make scaling data more tractable. lnkd.in/p/g8qvP5qX

We started Arda in 2025 to speed up American manufacturing. We have spent the last year building with Anduril as our design partner. Today we are launching the company publicly on CNBC and announcing our Series A: $160M at a $1.5B valuation. Our platform helps manufacturers design and operate manual assembly lines, putting designs into production faster now. Next we'll build automated lines that can be reconfigured as quickly as human workers, letting America make products that now require armies of workers in Asia.

My theory is biotech is about to turn into a national security thing and the west doesn't really get a vote Beijing just floated blocking foreign buyouts of china's cell and gene therapy and siRNA platforms And what's interesting is what they're NOT blocking. Licensing individual drugs is still totally fine So you can sell the west a medicine, just not the platform that makes the next 100 of them And the west has been buying like crazy lol. Foreign deals for chinese biotech assets are at $120B through august, up 36% Astrazeneca's $1B gracell deal, that CAR-T platform, probably doesn't happen under this draft Same update hits AI tech too btw we spent years fighting over who gets the chips. Feels like the next fight is over who owns the platforms that spit out the next generation of medicines Once biology is programmable it's not really a healthcare business anymore, it's infrastructure Still just a draft tho, comments open till nov 15 bio/acc.

Stage 2 has officially left the rocket factory for the last time. 😢🫡 Now in Moses Lake, WA, it will undergo cryo proof testing and then a hotfire campaign with its Andromeda engine before shipment to our launch site in Cape Canaveral, FL.
