There is a company called Bexorg and what it does is astonishing. The company takes dead human brains and revives them. Yes . . . really. This science could be the key to developing drugs for all sorts of conditions including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, dementia and ALS. We've published a mini-doc and a detailed story on Bexorg's work right here - corememory.com/p/theyve-reviv… I promise that it will be the craziest thing you see and/or read today.

Reflection is partnering with Shinsegae Group to build a 250-megawatt sovereign AI factory for the Republic of Korea. Open intelligence. Built on trust between allies. Owned by the nations that need it most. The future of sovereign AI. Read more in the @WSJ.

Space computing, the final frontier, has arrived 🛰️ #NVIDIAGTC news: NVIDIA is collaborating with @AetherfluxUSA, @Axiom_Space, @KeplerComms, @planet, Sophia Space and Starcloud to bring AI and accelerated computing to space, powering geospatial intelligence and autonomous space operations. 🔗 nvda.ws/4dgwkLh

In 3.5 years @extropic: -reinvented how to use the transistor -reinvented architectures for probabilistic compute -reinvented deep learning for thermo compute -created our CUDA-like THRML -created our TF-like framework (coming soon) -scaled our systems 1000x yoy (3 gens of TSUs)

Coming tomorrow, we get weird AF with some human brains

Aetherflux is taking AI compute to orbit with @nvidia to launch the new era of space innovation. This includes bringing the NVIDIA Space-1 Vera Rubin Module, IGX Thor, and Jetson Orin to space, powering geospatial intelligence and autonomous space operations for next-generation space missions. We are deploying advanced satellite constellations designed to act as high-performance hubs for AI compute in orbit.

US Army awards Anduril Industries a contract with a total value of as much as $20 billion to buy the defense startup’s software, hardware and services bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

A whole new wave of disease therapies have started to arrive. They're based on lab made stem cells that can reprogram the body. Folks like @JeffBezos, @sama and @brian_armstrong have invested billions of dollars into this technology. @nabsicle is trying to mass produce these new stem cells to make the therapies cheaper and more widespread. This is our full episode with her where we get deep into iPSCs and how this technology works. The @corememory podcast is on all major platforms and on YouTube down below. @brexHQ and @e1ventures are very smart and help us bring the world's smartest podcast to you. Enjoy!

Thank you to @veelarco for hosting this discussion with our CEO, @BaijuBhatt , at last week's @upfrontvc summit. In her recent post, Vanessa details how her perspective on space technology has evolved, highlighting three primary tailwinds currently accelerating the industry: • Commercial Stability • A New Wave of Talent • Massive Market Opportunities Watch the full conversation below! youtube.com/watch?v=hbLbTv…

"So we had Viper, which is today a 6.5ft long vertical takeoff kind of miniature fighter jet. And so the job of Viper is to do everything a fighter jet would do as best as can be done, while being cheap enough to mass manufacture, cheap enough to seriously go and make a million, two million of these things and then be runway independent. And so several hundred mile range, like 600 miles an hour, can go and get up to these high altitudes, but only cost $100,000. And you and I could take it out of a pelican case and launch it with no ground infrastructure.” @ethanrthornton @Mach_Industries

Overture cabin: - Entry door is 6’ 3”, 1” taller than 737, 10” taller than Concorde - Forward aisle height peaks at over eight feet, with a minimum of 6’ 8” - Last row aisle is 6’2”, about the same as a G650 No bad rows and no middle seats. Only middle finger to bad design.

There’s never been an airplane with a fuselage like Overture’s.
