This is correct.
AI may be the greatest equalizer of knowledge and skills the world has ever seen. Those opposing its development don’t always seem to recognize that their position risks denying children in poorer countries and neighborhoods the same educational opportunities many of us already take for granted for our own kids.
It also risks slowing the discovery of treatments for serious diseases that most of us are fortunate enough never to face ourselves.
In that sense, strong opposition to AI tends to come from a place of relative privilege.
Biggest takeaway from last few days is that it's pretty crazy that the majority of the population is anti-AI, anti-datacenter, etc.
As we all know success compounds super-linearly, and AI will only accelerate the gap between the people who are against AI vs those that adopt it and learn how to use it effectively
Not to mention its really not *that* expensive. For $200/m you get AGI. That's one date night nowadays
The internet, and now AI, are the largest equalizing forces in human history. And the people it could benefit the most are the most against it. Is what it is innit
Yeah, living next to golf courses also dramatically increase cancer risk. Aerosolized poison factory.
This is the study I cited in the interview.
Living within 1 mile of a golf course increased Parkinson’s risk by 126% compared to living over 6 miles away, and the greatest risk (a 198% increase) was observed for those living 1–2 miles from a golf course!
People relying on groundwater near golf courses had nearly double the risk of Parkinson's compared to areas without golf courses.

NEW: The Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX), the world’s fourth-largest gold trading venue by volume, is bringing its gold-backed token to Chainlink CCIP.
@goldzipxgz is integrating CCIP with @midaslabsxyz, enabling HKGX backed XGZ to move securely across blockchains.
In the hyper adverserial age of AI, I think some large institutions will be willing to pay for cryptoeconomic security for @Chainlink services as a type of cheap insurance.

Charles Kushner, Jared’s father, pleaded guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion and witness tampering. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, filmed it, sent the tape to his sister. Trump pardoned him and made him ambassador to France and Monaco.

Unfortunately, we will never get to see this being dead wrong because the "world of XRPL being highly successful" will never even exist to establish the first criteria.
But, even it did, look at all the actual evidence:
In the recent XRPL/Ondo/JPM/Mastercard POC, OUSG (tokenized US treasuries) were used as liquidity, while XRP was used to pay a gas fee in the amount of .000015 XRP for the transaction; Not as liquidity or a "bridge currency.'
In the recent BIS report, they used the XRPL memo field as an example of using a blockchain to publish economic data onto it. They used the XRPL as a bulletin board; not XRP for liquidity. They aggregated numerous data sets into a .00001 XRP transaction fee.
In the announcement from days ago with Cross River Bank, RLUSD is being used for liquidity; XRP is used as a gas coin to write the transaction to the chain for .00001 XRP.
Even Ripple Prime uses RLUSD as its margin and collateral asset.
XRP is simply:
1) A gas coin used to stop free spam on the XRPL by having it charge a .00001 XRP fee.
2) A community collectible souvenir that Ripple sells to its version of Disney adults to finance all of its corporate acquisitions and new products to benefit Ripple Labs shareholders
Everything else is an aspirational, slop story peddled by grifters and carnival barkers.

Skelatal muscle is signaling organ, a vital endocrine organ. Using it naturally secretes myokines such as IL-6 and cathepsin B, which cross the blood-brain barrier to stimulate BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and support cognitive health.
The current fitness/longevity space often (not always) conflates this vital, low-intensity metabolic signaling with the pursuit of raw muscle volume. Forcing hypertrophy creates a metabolic sink that demands high caloric intake, heavier protein loads, and continual ribosomal stress. When taken to excess this can trade structural longevity for an outward aesthetic of youth.
Not gonna happen with boomers at the helm. FDA should be defunded and autonomy restored to patients and their doctors (working with AI).
China has gotten ahead of the US in biotechnology, largely by making their clinical trial system more effective. I covered this in a @nytimes article.
Now, American patients are travelling there to have access to drugs they can't access at home. It's high time the US woke up and implemented much needed reforms.

LG Group’s tech arm brings Chainlink into Korea’s digital money push
@chainlink and LG CNS, the technology arm of LG Group, announced a strategic partnership on Thursday. LG CNS will add Chainlink’s tools for moving data and assets across blockchains to its digital asset platform for Korean institutions; the two will also work together on Korean stablecoins and local technical standards.
LG CNS is the lead contractor for the Bank of Korea’s Project Hangang, a digital currency pilot whose first phase involved about 80,000 customers across seven banks. LG Group holds ₩186 trillion (about $140B) in assets across 63 affiliates.

NEW: LG CNS, the technology arm of LG Group, enters a strategic partnership with Chainlink to advance Korea’s $68B digital asset market.
LG Group is one of Korea’s largest business groups, with approximately ₩186 trillion in assets across 63 affiliates. LG CNS is the lead contractor for the Bank of Korea’s flagship digital currency initiative, Project Hangang.
Through the partnership, LG CNS and Chainlink will:
• Enhance LG CNS’s digital asset platform solution with Chainlink’s cross-chain, data, and orchestration infrastructure
• Collaborate on digital asset solutions for Korean institutions using the full Chainlink platform
• Advance the next generation of technical standards underpinning Korea’s digital asset economy
The partnership is built for one of the world’s most active and technologically advanced digital asset markets. Korea is Asia's second-largest digital asset market, with the Korean won consistently ranking second in crypto trading volume, behind only the U.S. dollar.
By combining LG CNS’s institutional expertise with Chainlink technology standards, the partnership establishes the foundation for compliant digital asset infrastructure in Korea and for global expansion.

@AbudBakri needs to be appointed head of HHS or FDA.
In January 2025 my mom’s lung cancer spread to her brain. The drug with the best chance of helping her was approved in China but not here.
A doctor told me, almost as an aside, that if she were Chinese she could buy it at a pharmacy.
So I flew to Shanghai and came home with 26 boxes in my luggage. That was 19 months ago. My mom is still here, still working, and in her words has had an amazing three years.
The drug was approved in China in 2023. The FDA approved it in July 2025. It still is not for sale here. I know of at least 30 Americans who have made the same trip.
I have been scared to tell this story because I worried it could cost my mom access to the medicine keeping her alive. But the problem matters more than my silence. These drugs need to be developed and available here, and that means FDA reform.
Art Allen at KFF Health News told our story this week. It also ran in The Washington Post.

Irrelevant boomer corporate take in the age of AI. People are generally much happier not sitting in a traffic then a wage cage during the majority of their waking adult life.
