The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off today and the SU community spans both sides of the opening match. Our partners @SingularityUMX and @SUSouthAfrica are repping their nations. Where are you watching from?
If you coupled small nuclear reactors with sea water desalination you could get a win-win with regions next to oceans. California would benefit from that new source of fresh water.
Data centers are becoming sovereign infrastructure, not just cloud plumbing. For Africa, the hard question is how to turn power, cooling and local compute into productive capacity instead of another imported dependency.
This is garbage in, garbage out made visible. When a dataset reflects historical decisions that don't align with the problem you're trying to solve, AI inherits those distortions and amplifies them at scale.
Do you know what biases live in the data your AI was trained on? Do you know who does? Do you know where to find out? Alix Rübsaam argues these are now core leadership questions, and most organizations aren't ready to answer them. 🧵
3/ This cohort debates. Pushes back. Brings 12 industries into the same room and discusses the future. That's the point. Watch this space all week. 👀 #SingularityU#ExponentialThinking#SUEP
In 19 hours, we're opening something up for the people in our community who've been building with us. Follow @singularityu on Instagram if you want in.

"يمكنك الآن الحصول على شهادة الدكتوراه في الصين عبر ابتكار منتج بدلاً من كتابة أطروحة من ١٠٠ صفحة"
الصين ضاقت ذرعاً بطلاب الدكتوراه الذين يكتبون أوراقاً بحثية لا يقرؤها أحد، وتطالبهم ببناء منتجات حقيقية بدلاً من ذلك.
هذا التحول الجذري في فلسفة التعليم العالي بالصين يمثل الانتقال الرسمي من "الأكاديميا النصية" إلى "الأكاديميا النفعية"، حيث يتم استبدال أطروحة الدكتوراه التقليدية بابتكار منتج ملموس. تكمن عبقرية الفكرة في معالجتها المباشرة لآفة "الأبحاث الميتة" التي تستهلك سنوات من جهد الباحثين لتبقى حبيسة الأدراج، محولةً بذلك الجامعة من صومعة فكرية إلى محرك إنتاجي يغذي السوق والابتكار بشكل فوري.
Everyone is distracted by price.
But the real shift is happening underneath.
AI agents are moving from assistants → to operators → to economic participants.
When that transition completes, the most valuable layer won’t be the model.
It’ll be identity.
• Who owns the agent?
• Who controls its memory?
• Who captures its reputation?
• Who keeps the upside when it scales?
If identity lives in someone else’s cloud, you’re renting intelligence.
If identity is sovereign, persistent, and on chain,you’re compounding it.
That’s the difference between a tool and an asset.
Most people won’t understand this until it’s obvious.
By then, the foundational layers will already be claimed.
Watch the infrastructure.
Watch the quiet builders.

@jdroege and me @singularityu back in 2013 checking out Google’s early self-driving car prototype — long before it became @Waymo. Now they’re everywhere around @axon_enterprise HQ. Amazing how exponential change feels slow… and then suddenly it isn’t.
Check out the conversation @mikewagers and I had with Jason, who now heads one of the leading AI companies, @scale_AI
