The sun produces 3 billion times more energy than reaches Earth's surface. All fossil fuel reserves combined, all renewables at maximum capacity, are a minute fraction of what the sun blasts into space.
It is humbling to consider that if we harness just 1 millionth of the Sunâs power for AI, that will be much more than a million times the intelligence of all of humanity

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

If I could ask @elonmusk one question it would be:
If a company is building technology to benefit humanity, is that mission better or worse served by the company being public and letting retail investors be a part of it?
RT if you are interested in hearing the answer.

I am super excited to share that @Starcloud_ has raised a $170M Series A at a $1.1bn valuation to fuel our development of data centers in space đ
The round comes after the successful deployment of our first satellite, Starcould-1, a few months ago, which had the first @NVIDIA H100 on board and was the first to train an LLM in space. The funds will be used to develop our third satellite, which aims to be cost-competitive with Earth-based data centers in terms of AI inference cost.
The round was led by @Benchmark and @EQT Ventures, and we are excited to welcome Benchmark GP, @Chetanp Puttagunta, to our board. We are also excited to welcome other new investors, including the world's largest infrastructure fund, @Macquarie Capital, @SevenSevenSix 7ď¸âŁ7ď¸âŁ6ď¸âŁ, Manhattan West, Adjacent, Carya, GSBackers, and Harpoon.
We are very grateful for the continued support of existing investors, including @NFX, @NebularVC, @YCombinator, @FUSE_VC, @Soma_Capital, 3Capital Partners, Wyld VC, Tiny VC, and Taurus Ventures.
Onwards!

Australian IT entrepreneur @paul_conyngham turned to an unexpected tool when his dog Rosie was diagnosed with advanced cancer and given only months to live.
After chemotherapy and surgery failed, he used ChatGPT to explore alternative approaches and discovered the concept of mRNA-based therapeutic vaccinesâdesigned to train the immune system to target cancer cells.
With no background in biology, Conyngham leaned on AI to help him understand complex medical ideas, opening a new path in his effort to save his dog when conventional treatments had run out.
