We are part of something so awe inspiring.
We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.
Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds.
Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops.
The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.

Chamath: 3 Things Every Company Needs in the Age of Super Intelligence
1) End-to-End Traceability
2) Policy-to-Risk Mapping
3) Auditable Evidence
@Chamath:
“There's really three things that you're going to need in an age of super intelligence so that boards are protected, CEOs have visibility, and all of the other compliance infrastructure and governance infrastructure of a company like D&O Insurance and all these other things are kept in place, which is end-to-end traceability, right?
Which is to say, when you deploy super intelligence, you need to know what's going on. You need to map it to the policies so that you understand what the risks are. All companies have standard operating procedures, but you need to know exactly when you're deploying super intelligence, how that builds on top of your standard operating procedure, so you need to map policies to risk.
And then the third is you need to have auditable evidence, which is your way of showing all of your downstream ecosystem, ‘Here's what I've done.’
So if anybody taps you on the shoulder, whether it's a lawyer, whether it's an auditor, whether it's a regulator, whether it's in a lawsuit, whether it's a customer, ‘Hey, how did this happen?’ You can present something. So these are, like, very practical, sane things, and you have this solution where the alternative was to hit the pause on trillions of dollars of GDP so that we could sort this out in a multinational body.
The alternative was crazy, so I think what happened was historic and important.”

I had the privilege of speaking with @elonmusk this week.
He shared his vision for satellites that deliver internet to every corner of the world, rockets that capture solar energy in space and send it back to Earth, and even moving data centers off the planet.
The vision is extraordinary. But what sets Elon and his team apart is how they execute -- they find a way to make it happen.
I can’t wait to see where this vision takes us next. 🚀

The same people who told you the climate and COVID were going to kill you are now telling you that software is going to kill you in ways they can’t describe, can’t predict, and can’t stop.
I am not falling for it and neither should you.
I explained on @FoxBusiness today.

The AI Singularity
The argument goes like this:
1. Humans build an AGI.
2. The AGI becomes good at AI research.
3. It designs a smarter AI.
4. That smarter AI designs an even smarter AI.
5. The cycle repeats faster and faster.
Looking at the results and capabilities from the various labs over the past few weeks I would say we are firmly in this loop now.
The next 18months will be wild.
Recursive self improvement will dramatically increase capability very quickly from here.
Marginal costs of all models will go to ~$0.

Everyone should be able to access high-quality financial assets, wherever they live.
That's what tokenization unlocks: taking the best of US capital markets and making them available on a global scale.
The industry is still small compared with global finance, but the advantages are becoming harder to ignore. Traditional market infrastructure was built around fixed hours, closed networks and layers of intermediaries. It was never designed for 24/7 execution, programmable assets, composability or self-custody.
The needs of investors have moved faster than the rails underneath them. We're working to change that.
What gives me confidence is seeing how many different people are now pushing this industry forward. Founders are building new products, LPs are bringing liquidity, traders are finding new uses, and infrastructure teams are making the whole thing work.
It's a privilege to be in the trenches with all of you.
We are still early, and there is a huge amount left to build. It will also take time and effort for the old guard to get onboard. This is worth fighting for.
