📁 Fei-Fei Li, computer vision pioneer and Stanford professor, says the next frontier of AI is spatial intelligence. The ability to perceive, reason and act in the physical world. Not just see and talk. But do. Just as vision triggered the Cambrian explosion of life, spatial intelligence could trigger the next explosion of AI.

Seems like everyone is an oil/energy analyst these days...#OOTT 🛢️

Also, as the IEA releases, member countries are reaching out to China to make sure it doesn't use the opportunity to buy more barrels for its own reserve (as it did in 2022). (...the IEA-Chinese coordinate was last done in 2011 during Libya, when the US gov made the request...)

Been waiting for this day for awhile

Oil, Geopolitics, and...Sugar. Thanks to The Hindu BusinessLine for sharing some of my thoughts regarding the global commodity complex, and the importance of India's sugar crop as a geopolitical wildcard. #sugar #oil #commodities thehindubusinessline.com/economy/agri-b…

Watch the full interview from the Andreessen Horowitz American Dynamism Summit, where they also discuss the increased cadence of lunar launches via Artemis, the New Space Race with China, and the role of space in geopolitics today, among other topics. cnbc.com/video/2026/03/…

Early into his tenure as the new @NASA administrator, @rookisaacman discusses w @MorganLBrennan the launch of NASA Force, as a way to bring in top technical talent from industry for fixed-term positions. Sounds interesting if there are takers.

ENERGY MARKET UPDATE: Brent up 8.5% to $84.5 a barrel WTI up 8.3% to $77.2 a barrel European gas up 35% to €60 per MWh

20% of the world’s copper is already mined by microbes. What if we could do the same for Lithium, Rare Earth Elements, and Nickel? With supply chains in turmoil and AI Datacenter's demanding a 5X increase in the current capacity for these scarce resources, some companies are turning to biology to keep the AI renaissance afloat. On May 5th at 4:30 pm, we’ll be convening a panel of experts to discuss this very topic in the breakout DNA Over Dynamite: How Biomining Is Transforming Resource Recovery. • Nicole Richards, @allonniabio • Jayme Feyhl-Buska, @HomeworldBio • Eileen Spindler, Alta Resource Technologies • Samuel Jayakanthan, Vandstrom • Luis Valencia, AlkaLi Labs 5 of the biggest thought leaders in biomining will come together to discuss the Bio-based solutions to our critical mineral deficit. Join us in San Jose on May 5th as we dig into where supply chains are heading. Get your tickets here: syntheticbiologysummit.com/?utm_source=Li…

@FutureJurvetson @XonaSpace @_BryceTech Indeed. A lot to unpack from the Bryce Tech infographic. Perhaps, most notably, the percentage (51% of $7B) on launch technology. Just Look Up. substack.com/home/post/p-18…

🇨🇳🛰 The competitor to watch is China, with 75 startups raising $7B. For example, China’s progress in resilient GPS in LEO is far ahead of the West. China already has 41 PNT sats in LEO, and Xona is sole provider in the West. I am heading there now for the board meeting. By flying more satellites closer to Earth, the GPS signal is more precise (to 42mm), more powerful (working indoors), and over 10x more resistant to jamming and spoofing. • Xona: xonaspace.com • Today's Bryce Report "China 2025: Metrics of a Rising Power": brycetech.com/reports/report…
