Just arrived at the @Abundance360 conference. I can’t wait to listen, learn and grow. Thanks to @PeterDiamandis for putting on such an amazing event.

Import memory is very smart. I’ve also found it doesn’t take long at all to get the usefulness out of memory in any of these tools because of the importance of short-term over long-term memory for daily work.

This is awesome and a bit scary…

Anthropic raising $30B at $380B. Humanoids doing parkour on TV. Starship doubling capacity. Grok, Gemini saturating benchmarks... These aren't isolated headlines—they're convergence. Every exponential tech is hitting inflection simultaneously. Strap in.

@alexwg @alexwg & @PeterDiamandis - can’t wait to read it! Starting this weekend!

@PeterDiamandis Very true - here is what I just shared with Alex: x.com/THDouglas/stat…

The US has a massive lead in the AI application layer, but don't sleep on China. They are applying AI to healthcare and biotech at a speed that makes our institutions feel SLOW.

@alexwg As always - Thanks @alexwg I'm sure you have seen this, but wanted to make sure: z.ai's open source GLM-5 achieves record low hallucination rate and leverages new RL 'slime' technique venturebeat.com/technology/z-a…

@alexwg That ending is amazing. @alexwg your work is remarkable.

Love to see the progress being made by @Figure_robot. I'm ready for the pre-order process!

Thanks for this David. I agree and have been talking about how AI and robotics are a threat to identity for about a year now. We are so grounded in "what we do" determines "who we are" that the shifts forthcoming will threaten our ability to have the confidence we need to thrive in a new world. I think what you are sharing is true for men. I think there are similar conversations for women. I love the saying, "equal, but different" and I think this applies here. I also agree that some will be broken, some will pivot, and would add that many will sit on the sidelines as they have for most of their lives and continue to be a passenger in their own life (which conspiracy theorist would say was put in motion over a century ago). Fundamentally, I think we have to embrace the idea of Adaptability. Both in our lives and in our businesses. Yes, there will be job loss. Yes, those who embrace the technology shift will be more likely to thrive... However, it takes people coming together to solve problems. The tribes that we flock to are often companies or organizations who are focused on solving problems and require a multitude of skills to do so (more now than ever when you look at why people stay working within an organization). While the skills will shift and the resources will change, but the requirements are the same... Identify problems, brainstorm resolutions, build the Team(s), make it repeatable, scale it while monetizing by providing real value to others. The emerging technologies provide a new multiplier of leverage that required large numbers of humans in the past. The gift in this is more humans can be the driver of problem-resolution, which has the potential to create a better future for our kids and kids-kids... I think the challenge for all people is that we have embrace the ideology that "I'm the driver" and not the passenger. We create value by serving others to build a better future. AI and robotics are not a threat, but a multiplier of value creation when used by those who exist to serve, protect, and love. IMO, we are at the dawn of what can be a beautiful era - if we choose to make it so...

This is amazing for so many people…

If you thought things moved fast this year, we have no idea what's in store in 2026.

If you think the future is tomorrow, you might think again…

Pessimism is a survival mechanism. Optimism is a strategy for success.

Science breakthroughs happen daily; you might just not be reading them:  A new class of injectable brain implants from MIT can attach to immune cells, navigate the bloodstream, and deliver light-based neural stimulation. This could open the door to treating brain disorders without surgery.

Manufacturing is certainly changing.

Awesome advice!
