@Dr_Singularity If millions of people get laid off, where’s the money for investment going to come from, and who’s going to buy AI products and services?

Some people are saying the AI stock boom is already in mature phase and that it's 'too late' to invest.
They're thinking way too small.
We are still early.
Demand for AI will be almost infinite: chips, memory, data centers, robotics, energy, agents, scientific discovery automation.
Even the biggest companies today could grow 10x - 1000x in the medium term if AI becomes the foundation of the global economy.
It will become that.
It's already pretty obvious to those who study the subject deeply and understand what even current AI is capable of.
Once again. We're early.

@Fredvine28 Barbells can work the posterior chain very well with squats, deadlifts, and bent over rows.
English
People seem to misunderstand what I’m saying.
The barebell can build muscle. We know that.
What it doesn’t create is good BIOMECHANICS.
It reinforces front chain dominance and fascial patterns that aren’t conducive to aesthetics in many cases.
The guys in this photo don’t have crazy muscle mass. But they do have a shape & structure that many lack today due to the modern lifestyle:
- chronic sitting
- shoes
- heavy lifts that reinforce front chain dominance
- chronic dehydration
Etc
English
The barbell has killed this physique.
Biomechanics have been systemically COOKED and it’s the reason no one has that effortless aesthetic anymore.
Just the bulky meat heads…

These people were not skinny they were lean and athletic with good muscle tone, bone structure, and posture. They don’t really exist anymore due to modern food and weightlifting trends so people now are either very muscular, very skinny, or fat. This is normal and healthy.

NASA just officially unveiled their master plan for a permanent Moon Base at the lunar South Pole
This is not just about flags and footprints. NASA is moving to establish an enduring, sustained human presence, and they are heavily relying on commercial innovators to build it
The roadmap is highly aggressive:
• Phase 1: Heavy robotic missions and commercial payload deliveries
• Phase 2: Semi-permanent infrastructure, including fission surface power and lunar drones
• Phase 3: A sustained, permanent human outpost
The most important takeaway is NASA explicitly stated this base is the ultimate proving ground to prepare humanity for missions to Mars
While legacy aerospace companies are still struggling to reliably get a small capsule to the ISS, NASA is setting the stage for massive lunar infrastructure....which is exactly the kind of heavy-lift planetary deployment SpaceX’s Starship was designed for
The multi-planetary economy is officially kicking off

@Scopuli If they keep upping the prize money, they will eventually attract the top talent.
English
Saying the Enhanced Games failed because of the poor showing is similar to saying the XFL failed because of the rules they implemented. No, it failed because they had very little talent compared to the NFL.
It just hasn't attracted the best of the best, yet. It might never, but that doesn't mean the premise is wrong. If it catches on, it could very well fulfill the predictions.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT THE ENHANCED GAMES.. Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr. spent millions to create a steroid Olympics. They promised to "redefine human limits" and put up $25M in prize money. After 5 hours in Las Vegas, here’s the scoreboard: - 1 world record (not recognized by anyone) - Thor Björnsson failed his 515kg deadlift (managed only 475kg) - olympic sprinter Fred Kerley missed the 100m WR by 0.4s - without even taking drugs - the only "record" came from a Greek swimmer who finished 5th at Paris 2024. He wore a supersuit banned since 2009 and beat the clean record by just 0.07s the whole pitch was that drugs would shatter the limits of clean sport. instead they proved the gap between juiced and clean is now 7 hundredths of a second - in a suit banned 17 years ago. the only thing they actually proved was how good the clean athletes already are. You think the Enhanced Games exposed anything or just embarrassed themselves?

@enhancedclipper Keep it up and the talent pool will only grow!
English
The Enhanced Games had a total prize pool of over $25 MILLION this weekend 😳
Where else can athletes get paid like that?
What sports should they add next year👇
English
@HypeCheck If they keep the prize money high, they will start to attract top talent.

Back after three year making my first public investment.
Just took a large position in $ENHA at $2.95.
Part 1. The Enhanced Games:
The Enhanced games are misunderstood...
This weekends event in LAs Vegas did NOT FAIL and it only reinvigorated my excitement for the sport.
Most of the athletes made PRs years after being in competition at a much older age.
That's the real thesis behind the Enhanced Games not breaking world records it's...
Older athletes using safe protocol's to perform like they are back in their early 20s.
Furthermore just imagine if they would get approval to host a MMA event. Obviously that would be a massive hurdle to overcome but the potential is there.
For example Dana White's Power Slap is approved 🤷♂️
Part 2. Live Enhanced.
The company’s main business model is Telehealth.
$Hims for hair and weight loss.
$ENHA for strength and longevity.
- high gross margins,
- recurring subscription revenue
The trends are there with peptides, TRT, etc
Young and old want their health optimized.
After watching last week's event I am confident that the Enhanced Games and Live Enhanced have a bright future.
Part 3. Conclusion.
The media got ENHA all wrong and the future is extremely bright for the company.
Stay long 📈👀
English
@Shiyanying @BStulberg The athletes only did an 8 week cycle before the games.
English
@BStulberg Let's be honest though: If this continues for some time and the cash prizes stay, these athletes will get full olympic cycles to prepare. The current cycle was what, a year? Think a full olympic 4 year cycle preparation and never having to taper the stack.
English
The enhanced games are just the latest nonsensical version of pseudo excellence. It's the same lineage as all the optimization gurus. A bunch of elaborate kabuki masquerading as the real thing. If you are exhausted by all of this and want to reclaim the pursuit of genuine, heartfelt greatness, I promise The Way of Excellence will help. bit.ly/4uCzeQ7

@GeekonomyYT If top athletes can beat over-the-hill enhanced athletes, then why wouldn't they show up to the next Enhanced Games and cash an easy paycheck?
English
El problema de este evento es que para que realmente se vea "donde está el límite" se necesita pillar a algun deportista TOP en activo.
Si solo van deportistas retirados o que estan lejos del top mundial este será el resultado aunque vayan dopados hasta las cejas

@bschermd Exactly! I can't believe more people can't see this.
English
I'm seeing negative press about the enhanced games due to only 1 world record being broken and un enhanced athletes beating the enhanced athletes. For me this totally misses the point. It's not about the best performers in the world. It's about athletes retired for 10 years, coming back and getting their personal best. It's about how that relates to the average individual wanting to perform their best.
Plus, the absence of the truly best of the best will limit the ability to achieve world records. But that's not the point. The point is for me is what it can mean for human health more broadly.
English
@JTShults @maxreign24 Sure, but it will only get better from here. Did you see the first UFC event compared to now?
English
@SimpkinsBooks @maxreign24 So far it's been a crap show. Lackluster performances all around.
English
I’m tired of seeing these horrible takes on the enhanced games from people who lack any sort of critical thinking skills
English
@JoelDeTeves @Polymarket Yes, and you'd be shocked to know who the VC investors are.

JUST IN: Enhanced Games stock crashes 50%, after many non-enhanced athletes outperformed "juiced" ones.

@darrenrovell After seeing the prize money that was handed out, more and more athletes will choose to participate.
English
The margin of error for the Enhanced Games is very thin now.
If two more events go like this one, it's over.
The premise that good athletes can be better with drugs than great athletes might be flawed.

@OliLondonTV "Oh, snap!" is exactly what Helen said when she found out the Trojan war was started because of her.
English
Actress Lupita Nyong’o says she had never heard of Homer’s ‘The Odyssey’ before being cast to play Helen of Troy.
“I really had no idea what The Odyssey was. I was like, ‘Oh, snap, I don’t know the first thing about this.’
So it was a crash course. I picked up the books and read them immediately. I have this film to thank for my Greek mythological education.”

@C_Angermayer @enhanced_games Congratulations and thank you for taking such good care of the athletes!

The @enhanced_games last Saturday were not only a spectacular event - they were also a major business success.
$ENHA just announced that the inaugural Games secured more than $32 million in aggregate sponsorship deal value across its commercial partner ecosystem. This is already more than the company’s full-year 2026 sports revenue guidance of $31 million.
And we still have 7 months left in the year.
Now that we have broken the ice and proven the Games can be done at the highest level, I expect many more partnerships to be signed in the months ahead. We are just getting started!
Check out my blog post for an overview of th enture business model, which is more than just the Games: x.com/C_Angermayer/s…

Many of the very best athletes in the world have not joined @enhanced_games yet, largely due to fear of repercussions from the traditional sports establishment.
And some - looking at you @fkerley99 😉- decided to participate but not to enhance.
I am very convinced that this will change now that they have seen the first event - and especially after witnessing the incredible feedback and genuine love we are receiving from our athletes.
As a result, I believe you can expect a much stronger "baseline" next year.
Stay tuned - we have some absolutely crazy announcements coming over the next few weeks...
Christian Angermayer@C_Angermayer
What an evening. What an inaugural @enhanced_games event. Honestly, if I could have scripted it, I could not have imagined a more nail-biting storyline - tension building all night, and then that unbelievable release at the end. I have to admit: I was close to a heart attack. And then I cried tears of joy when Kristian Gkolomeev won the Men’s 50m Freestyle in 20.81s, setting a new world record. He takes home a $1,000,000 bonus, a $250,000 first-place prize - and reclaims the 50m Freestyle world record. Think about what a world record actually means. It means you are better at something than roughly 8 billion other people on this planet. Let that sink in. I know some people expected us to break (many) more world records tonight. But as always in science: baseline matters. Enhancements bring out the best in you - but they are not a magic bullet. Kristian was already one of the best clean swimmers in the world - and then he added the icing on the cake to reach entirely new heights. And needless to say: the air gets thinner at the very top. Especially in the shortest events, breaking a world record has become harder and harder over the decades. And then there is the unquantifiable magic of live sport. It does not matter how good you looked in training camp. It all comes down to that one moment. A few athletes who were world-record contenders had injuries today. Others had stage fright. That is real sport. We have many more years ahead of us to break world records - one by one - and we will. We are just getting started. But world records are not even my favorite part. While breaking world records will always be one of the core themes of the Enhanced Games, what inspires me most is something else: the human drive to become the best version of ourselves. At every stage and time in life. Tonight, 22 personal bests were broken. And in many cases, these were not personal bests from last month or last year, but from many years ago. Again - let that sink in. Take @Megan__Romano: She set her previous personal best in the 50m freestyle (24.98) on July 16, 2013 - and tonight, nearly 13 years later, she broke it with a 24.55. She had not competed internationally in almost a decade, and at 35 years old she is now better than she was in her early twenties after only a few weeks of enhanced training. Megan defied aging in spectacular fashion and became a role model for all of us on how to age better - or maybe even how not to age at all – with the power and support of medical enhancements. Or take Emily Barclay - an athlete who had previously competed only at NCAA level. Her 50m freestyle time tonight would have been enough to win bronze in Paris. And it earned her $375,000. A true Cinderella story - made possible not by a fairy godmother, but by science. I could go on and on - and I will. Because we want to tell all of these incredible, deeply personal stories. World records are these almost mythical, elusive numbers. But winning the race against ourselves, against aging, against doubt, against the people who told us what is supposedly impossible - that is what truly inspires me. And I know it will inspire many of you too. Because Enhanced is not just a sporting event. It is a movement. A movement to help every human being become the best version of themselves. Let’s go!!!
