This is 80-year-old Ed from Atlanta. He just sold his $200k Mercedes S-Class and bought a brand new Frost Blue @Tesla Model Y Performance because he wanted FSD.
"I like the self-driving. It's really been great. I feel a lot safer."
Joe Da Silva retweeted
Tesla has released a new video of FSD (Supervised) avoiding accidents/preventing pedestrians from getting hit in Spain, France, Germany, Finland, UK, Lithuania, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Italy.

The gap between "BCI works in a lab" and "BCI works at home for 2 years" is enormous - and this paper closes it in a way no prior paper has. If you care about what's possible at the hardware-neuroscience interface right now, this is required reading.

Jeff Bezos: "I've created $2.1 trillion of wealth for other people."
"Somebody needs to make a list where they rank people by how much wealth they've created for other people."
While talking about his net worth, he floated an idea that flips the whole concept of a "rich list" on its head.
He did the math live, right there on stage.
"Amazon's market cap is 2.3 trillion today. I own about 200 billion of it."
"So if you take 2.3 trillion and subtract out the piece I kept for myself, then I've created something like $2.1 trillion of wealth for other people."
That's not a typo. Trillion, with a T and it's not even his money.
"That should put me pretty high on some kind of list."
He didn't stop at himself, either. He immediately named who else deserves a spot at the top.
"People like Jensen, Nvidia, he's going to be very high on that list."
"That would be a pretty cool list. Somebody should do that list."

When aging said, “None can outrun,”
Virtual cells answered, “Done.”
By decade-end’s breath,
We’ll be solving death
By a thousand shortcuts, one by one.

Cybercab at the National Federation of the Blind's Annual Convention in Austin for a hands-on experience of its accessibility features for blind or visually impaired customers
For example:
– Braille lettering on physical controls
– Space for service animals & assistive devices
– Wheelchair-height seating for easier transfers

The world's largest and most important event in Longevity Biotechnology will take place at the DR Treehouse at Harvard and adjacent venues including the new Atlas hotel.
This year, we will focus on real drug discovery and biotechnology with massive participation from the big pharma industry, investors, investment banks, and leading startups. Top academics with real drug discovery research will be speaking. Since we had to reduce the number of days from 5 to 3 we had to raise the bar.

I don’t think most people realize it yet, but Snap just pulled a coup d’etat on the entire XR industry, dethroning previous XR leaders like Meta, Apple, and Google, with a standalone AR glasses device and supporting tech stack that is a decade ahead of any of the competition.

Zero-sum economics is a fallacy. Someone else’s success doesn’t take away from your success. It actually makes you more likely to succeed yourself.

The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.
And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.
One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.
Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.
If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.
Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.
Alternatively
There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.
To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.
It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)
Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.
Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up
But
They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks
Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.
