Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems.
AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency.
This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work.
We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government.
Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution.
The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.
WTF!

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years.

I love this story
In 2003, it was reported that the stress response protein, MIC-1 (aka GDF-15), is raised in cancer patients with muscle wasting and weight loss (cachexia):
In 2007, a monoclonal antibody that blocks MIC-1 (GDF-15) was found to boost appetite and weight gain in mice with cancer cachexia:
And just recently in 2024, a clinical trial found that the GDF-15 monoclonal antibody boosted appetite, physical activity, weight gain, and skeletal muscle mass in human patients with cancer cachexia:

Genetics of the 'big five' personality traits
Neuroticism has the strongest genetic links, followed by extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and then conscientiousness
For those of you who like pricing, I found this article on Data pricing and monitization quite interesting! Many of the intuitions around pricing products don't apply on data.
