We congratulate our leadership on the selection of the UAE to host the 2029 Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund in Abu Dhabi—one of the world’s most significant global economic gatherings, bringing together finance ministers, central bank governors, and decision-makers from across the world. This global forum will address the state of the global economy, financial and monetary policies, financial stability, and international economic development. This milestone reflects the world’s confidence in the UAE, its pivotal role in advancing global financial stability, and its proven ability to host and organize major international economic events.

Right now life requires special finishing moves

🚨BREAKING: ANTHROPIC IS GIVING AWAY THE SAME CERTIFICATION THAT DELOITTE IS MASS-TRAINING 15,000 EMPLOYEES TO GET. It costs $0. You need a laptop. That's it. It's called the "Claude Certified Architect." Think of it like the AWS cert but for AI. If you were around when AWS certs started, you know what happened. They went from "cool to have" to "you're not getting hired without one." That took about 5 years. This is going to happen way faster. Look at who's already moving: Accenture - training 30,000 people on Claude Cognizant - rolled it out to 350,000 employees Deloitte - opened Claude access to 470,000 people Infosys - anchor partner These aren't startups experimenting. These are billion dollar consulting firms restructuring their entire workforce around Claude. And the certification they need? You can take it right now from your bedroom. Let me be real though. This is not one of those "watch 2 videos and get a badge" type certs that nobody respects. This thing is hard. 60 questions. 2 hours. Proctored. Webcam on. No breaks. No googling. They drop you into real scenarios like designing a customer support agent that handles refunds or setting up Claude in a CI/CD pipeline. The wrong answers look right on purpose. They're the exact mistakes real engineers make in production. 720 out of 1000 to pass. People who took it are saying the agentic architecture and multi-agent orchestration sections are brutal. Most of the exam is about building AI systems that actually work in the real world. Not prompting. Not chatting with Claude. Architecting production systems. All the prep? Free. Anthropic put out 13 courses on their Academy. No paywall. The cert itself is free for the first 5,000 people. After that $99 per attempt. How to get it: 1. Join the Claude Partner Network (free) → partnerportal.anthropic.com 2. Start the free prep courses → anthropic.com/learn 3. Register for the exam → anthropic.skilljar.com 4. Take the official practice exam 5. Book the real one when you're ready It launched 10 days ago. Almost nobody has it yet. That's the whole point. Get it before it becomes the thing everyone has.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 WHO hit that girls school in Iran? Analysts say it was almost assuredly a Tomahawk missile. . . only two countries who use them. U.S. and UK. So who was it?

"In 2006, Abu Dhabi commissioned the design of a 380-kilometre crude oil pipeline from the Habshan fields to the port of Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman. The pipeline bypasses the Strait of Hormuz entirely. It cost $4.2 billion and became operational in 2012. Most analysts at the time questioned whether Hormuz would ever actually be closed, the UAE built it anyway. Beneath the mountains of Fujairah, ADNOC carved 42 million barrels of underground crude oil storage into rock, the world’s largest single-site underground oil reserve, invisible from the surface and designed to keep exports flowing when the obvious routes could not." emirates247.com/opinion/buildi…

Software is no longer "eating the world." AI is eating software. The old moats are collapsing overnight. We are entering the Economy of Action, where the primary actors aren’t humans clicking buttons, but autonomous AI agents transacting in milliseconds. But there is a massive problem: Software cannot secure an AI-driven world. Software security is probabilistic. In a war of code vs. code, the attacker only needs to be right once. AI has turned "good enough" into "extinct." At @Ledger, we’ve spent 12 years preparing for this collision of Blockchain and AI. We are moving the "root of trust" out of the reach of code and into the Physics of Trust. By anchoring identity and governance in immutable silicon—Secure Elements logically isolated from the OS—we create a physical barrier that AI simply cannot cross. Ledger is the weapon for the Agentic Economy.

The science of fetal microchimerism should have broken the internet by now. It hasn’t. When I read about a research I was so curious to know what’s actually happening. Fetal cells — carrying the child’s own DNA — cross into the mother’s bloodstream during pregnancy and never fully leave. They embed into her organs. Her heart muscle. Her brain tissue. Researchers have found a child’s living cells inside mothers in their 90s, from pregnancies six decades old. The child left the womb. The cells didn’t. And they don’t just sit there. They migrate toward damage. Women with heart injuries show fetal cells concentrated at the wound site. Women with thyroid disease show their children’s cells inside the affected tissue. The body that built the child gets tended to, in return, by the child’s own cells. Nobody designed this consciously. Evolution quietly built a repair system out of the mother-child bond itself. The brain side of this is equally staggering. Pregnancy triggers gray matter reorganization — a structural rewiring that sharpens threat detection, deepens empathy, fundamentally alters how a mother processes the world. These changes persist for years after birth. Possibly permanently. A mother’s nervous system doesn’t return to its factory settings. It was updated by the experience of carrying another person, and that update sticks. The part worth sitting with longest — women who experienced pregnancy loss carry fetal cells too. The cellular merging doesn’t require a birth. It doesn’t require years of raising someone. Those cells remain regardless of what happened after. A mother grieving a child she never brought home is grieving someone biologically still present inside her. The world consistently underestimates that grief. The science says we have no business doing that. Mothers always knew the connection didn’t end at birth. Turns out it doesn’t end at the cellular level either.

The conversation around future G20 expansion is gradually shifting from population size toward economic influence, innovation capacity, and global systemic impact. The United Arab Emirates already demonstrates many characteristics of next-generation economic leadership. While traditional G20 membership has historically favored large population economies, the global economy is entering a new phase where technological leadership and strategic industries matter as much as market size. If the UAE accelerates growth in Artificial Intelligence, digital economy infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, clean energy, fintech, and blockchain-driven financial systems, reaching a $1 trillion GDP before 2030 becomes a realistic scenario rather than an ambition. A technology-driven UAE economy would position the country not merely as a regional hub, but as a global enabler connecting capital, innovation, and emerging markets across Asia, Africa, and Europe. In such a scenario, UAE participation in an expanded G20 framework would reflect economic reality - recognizing nations that shape future industries, global investment flows, and digital governance. The next decade may redefine economic power. Countries leading AI and innovation ecosystems will increasingly influence global decision-making tables. The UAE has the opportunity to be one of them. #UAE #G20 #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalEconomy #Innovation

This interview freaked me out. The security "AI"pocalypse is here. The founders of incompleteness.ai, Arbaaz Mahmood and Matt Busigin, talk me through why security professionals are freaked out by AI and trying to prepare the world's businesses as fast as they can. Are we paying enough attention to security? The answer is no. Grok will tell you the rest of what we discussed in a reply below.
