@bryan_johnson How did you discover it was toxic? What was the process?

Spent millions trying to not die and had toxic turf in my backyard the whole time. Trying to not be an idiot.

@doctormorphh It must at some level otherwise people would have a lot of stomach cancer.

"BPC-157 cant detect wether its inducing vascularization on a cancer cell or not." Then how come research shows BPC-157 can inhibit VEGF and thus vascularization in tumors? It has shown to inhibit VEGF signaling in tumors and prolong lifespan in cancer models.

@HiddenHistoryYT @grok why haven’t microbes eaten the wool yet?

An officer’s woolen uniform still hangs in a closet deep within the wreck of battleship USS Arizona, famously lost during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on the 7th of December, 1941. Of the just over fifteen hundred men aboard the vessel at the time, 1,177 of them perished, with the remains of only around one hundred of the lost ever recovered. The wreck of the much revered warship now acts as a tomb for the rest on the bottom of the harbor, and as such is protected heavily against visits by divers of any kind. During 2016 however, an expedition into the ship by ROV conducted by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution took some of the only existing photographs of the interior of Arizona, their goals being primarily to assess the condition of her remains in as non intrusive a way as possible. Among the views captured during this effort are many strikingly personal objects such as this, all of which represent in some ways an entire world which ended in mere hours on a quiet Sunday morning more than 80 years ago.

Japan's low-cost cardboard drones can make war expenses nosedive | Jijo Malayil, Interesting Engineering Cardboard drones cut radar reflection, offering stealth advantages and potential for reconnaissance missions with reduced enemy detection. Japan is exploring unconventional approaches to military technology, as its Defense Minister met with a startup developing cardboard-based drones. The company, Air Kamui, has already supplied its low-cost drones to the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force for use as aerial targets, indicating early operational adoption. Built from corrugated cardboard, the drones are designed to be lightweight, inexpensive, and quickly produced in large numbers. The concept reflects a broader shift toward scalable, expendable unmanned systems, as Japan looks to strengthen its defense capabilities with practical, cost-efficient solutions. Recently, Penn State University students developed a cost-effective rescue drone with 3D mapping, enabling autonomous navigation in dark, GPS-denied disaster zones to locate trapped victims indoors. Disposable drones advance Several startups have developed drones made primarily from corrugated cardboard for low-cost, expendable missions. The material choice offers key advantages: the airframes are lightweight, inexpensive, biodegradable, and can be produced quickly in large volumes. These qualities make them well-suited for roles where aircraft are expected to be lost, such as training exercises, reports Defence Blog. Beyond training roles, the military is exploring additional uses for these drones. Their cardboard structure reduces radar reflection compared to metal or carbon fiber, making them harder to detect. This low-observable feature could make them effective for reconnaissance missions, allowing forces to locate targets while remaining less visible to enemy sensors. At the center of Japan’s effort is the AirKamuy 150, developed by Air Kamui. Built from corrugated cardboard with a water-resistant coating, the drone is lightweight, inexpensive, and can be shipped flat-packed for rapid assembly in about five minutes. Priced around $2,500, it is far cheaper than conventional fixed-wing drones. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has adopted the platform as an aerial target, confirming its operational utility. Beyond training, its low radar reflectivity may support future reconnaissance roles where reduced detectability is an advantage. Drone strategy expansion Japan is shifting its defense strategy from simply acquiring drones to deeply integrating unmanned systems across all military branches. This approach emphasizes not just procurement, but also the development of doctrine, training frameworks, logistics networks, and sustained operational deployment in real-world conditions. Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi has outlined ambitions to position Japan as a global leader in drone utilization. As part of this effort, the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force has established dedicated drone-focused offices to advance operational planning and integration. These initiatives contribute to the broader Synchronized, Hybrid, Integrated and Enhanced Littoral Defense (SHIELD) concept, which envisions a large-scale network of affordable unmanned systems maintaining continuous surveillance over Japan’s southwestern islands. Low-cost platforms developed by Air Kamui are already playing a role in this transition. Currently used as aerial targets, these expendable drones enable naval units to conduct more frequent and realistic gunnery and missile defense training at reduced cost, improving readiness without the need for recovery operations. Japan’s “Shiraha” project highlights efforts to build a fully domestic drone supply chain. In April 2026, local startup JISDA unveiled the ACM-01 Shiraha, a low-cost drone with a wooden fuselage priced around $450. Designed with entirely locally sourced components, it reduces reliance on foreign materials. Backed by the Ministry of Defense Japan, the platform supports a strategy of deploying large numbers of expendable drones that can be quickly replaced if lost, reports The Military Channel. The push aligns with Japan’s wider defense expansion and increased military spending, influenced in part by lessons from the War in Ukraine. Beyond military use, similar drone technologies are being explored for disaster response, including rapid damage assessment and search missions, underscoring their dual-use value. interestingengineering.com/innovation/jap…

@Nature @grok what did he die of?

Geneticist J. Craig Venter, best known for his role in sequencing the human genome, has died aged 79. He spoke to Nature in 2023 about AI, sequencing the ocean – and why he had no plans to stop working. go.nature.com/4tHEf9M

@Super70sSports He drives a Ferrari on an unpaved road.

Thomas Magnum solved 100% of his cases in 1983 despite his shorts cutting off 100% of blood flow to his testicles.

@niccruzpatane @grok what is causing this to happen?

Pre-owned Tesla values are surging. According to data via CarGurus, the average price for a used Tesla has increased nearly 20% in the last 90 days. Increase in the last 90 days: • Model X: 33% • Model Y: 11% • Model 3: 10% • Model S: 9% • Cybertruck: 2%

@JerryCap $ASML is highly dependent on US companies for supplies. Replacing those would be difficult.

If NATO dies does $ASML ramp China sales or what 🚀

@yaireinhorn @intelliatx @bioinvestor24 @BiopharmIQ @BiotechCH @TimOpler @SamFazeli8 @zhaoweiasu @grok why is NTLA not up a lot this morning based on this news?

1/🚨🚨WOW! $NTLA has announced unprecedented positive results from its global Phase 3 HAELO clinical trial of lonvo-z (formerly known as $NTLA-2002) in hereditary angioedema (HAE)! @intelliatx’s Phase 3 HAELO trial of lonvoguran ziclumeran (lonvo-z) met its primary endpoint - a one-time infusion of lonvo-z reduced attacks by 87% versus placebo, with a mean monthly attack rate of 0.26 in the lonvo-z arm compared with 2.10 in the placebo arm during the six-month efficacy evaluation period (weeks 5 to 28). In addition all key secondary endpoints were met (!) and lonvo-z has demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability data! Based on this top tier data Intellia has initiated a rolling BLA submission to the FDA to seek regulatory approval which paves the way for a potential U.S. launch of lonvo-z as soon as the first half of 2027! This is a huge and historic milestone in the CRISPR and Gene Editing field with a valid and undisputed clinical proof that In Vivo CRISPR Gene Editing is truly a “one and done” therapeutic pathway which can treat unmet medical needs! Truly a remarkable and historic milestone!

@GeneInvesting Weird it is not soaring this morning… not sure what is going on here.

How many idiots will I meet today? Probably depends on how stock price reacts… Early algo move was showing the IQ of A LOT of idiots. $NTLA

@GeneInvesting @steve2bacon What will the NTLA short squeeze look like? That is the real question IMO.

@steve2bacon This looks like $NTLA to the bears

what we will do to michael burry tomorrow

@GeneInvesting I will be there!

Set a reminder for my upcoming Space! twitter.com/i/spaces/1qxoN… RSVP below ⬇️ $NTLA Noon PT 3pm Eastern

@GeneInvesting It should already be over $25 IMO...

$NTLA 👀 Spaces at Noon PT tomorrow

@historyinmemes @grok is this pencil most likely using lead?

A German carpenter reportedly left a pencil in the rafters while building a house in the 1600s, and it is now considered the oldest known surviving pencil in existence.

@lithos_graphein @undrvalue How much of Zeiss is owned by ASML @grok

@undrvalue They can't invest in ASML's bottleneck...Zeiss. private.

Is it just me or have the bottleneck investoors not discovered $ASML yet?

My prediction market bets on BLA timing are looking REALLY good 😊 $NTLA Even earlier than hoped! Will try to schedule Spaces for Monday 🎙️

@GeneInvesting I want to see $170 again. LOL

$NTLA price targets… $30 in a year (2x) $45 in two years (3x) *need HAE approved in ~12-13 months and my goal for ATTR CM enrollment is to complete in ~11 months Keys will be… • cash deal for ex-US HAE • 2H 2027 HAE sales • safety+enrollment on ATTR CM trial Feel extremely confident on the HAE front… ATTR I need more questions answered by the company. Upside really hinges on the final ~550 to enroll in CM.

@FirstSquawk Even ASML?

TRUMP: ALL SEMICONDUCTOR FIRMS ARE RETURNING TO THE U.S. AND WILL HOLD NEARLY 50% OF THE CHIP MARKET SOON.

@kat_maryb Not good for heart health that is for sure.

What do you do with leftover bacon?
