There is still time. But not a lot of time. Abundance and progress will accrue and compound rapidly to those equipped with the best AI-powered tools. #IA #Tecnología #Innovación #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweet.

I can see telltale signs of Europe’s protectionism reflexes at work. US and China have already won the race for frontier models. Accept that. Fix GDPR, AI Act, and the Digital Market Act, which as they stand will result in Europeans not having access to the best AI tools early. #Europa #InteligenciaArtificial #MercadoDigital #EU #US #CN

Born in Europe, moved to the US in 2008. Watching overregulation drain the continent’s economy and competitiveness has been saddening. AI is a superpower. Blocking Europeans from the best tools won’t protect them, it’ll compound into a death spiral. #AI #Overregulation #Economy #EU #US

Wild hijacking attempt of a FlyDubai plane that was Tel Aviv bound and heroic response from brave and capable Israeli passengers who saved many lives on the plane and on the ground. #FlyDubai #Israel #Heroism #IL

The odd-bunch alliance of those who dream of reg capture, EA-pilled folks, attention-seeking randos, and foreign adversaries who join in to throw more fuel on AI fear-mongering is the biggest threat to America’s lead in what will prove to be the most important race ever. #AI #TechPolicy #Innovation #US

Really happy about this one: adding NIS/ILS and near realtime interop with Israel banking rails (all banks) starting today on @lightspark Grid. New week, new currency, new country 🇮🇱! #NIS #ILS #Israel #IL

Google has such an untapped competitive advantage because it’s already trusted with our email, calendar, drive and more. Gemini should be tightly integrated and proactive. I don’t want to share sensitive data with a dozen companies. #Google #Privacy #Integration #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweetprovided.

It's now really clear to me that the most successful upcoming global neobanks are being built on top of @lightspark. We will share more about our progress soon. What we see being built on Grid is incredibly inspiring. #neobanks #fintech #innovation #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Therefore #thecountrycodesare:

Since the @elonmusk/@zannymb Economist interview 8 days ago: • 7/25 Berlin Pride: van ramming + stabbing 
• 7/27 Paris: 3 women stabbed. Perpetrator released(!!) 
• 7/30 Spain: 1000s migrants storm border from Morocco. Many dead. But let’s pretend all is fine in Europe. #Europe #Violence #Migration #DE #FR #ES #MA

We need clear rules of the road for America to continue leading the rewiring of the global financial system. This coming week will be critical. The CLARITY Act must pass. https://t.co/qvWviiO7KS #CLARITYAct #FinancialReform #LeadTheWay #US

Aging LA infrastructure, water main breaks. Fine. This can happen. Why it took 4+ hours to shut the water off is wild though. Now watch how long it takes for the city to repair the sinkhole on Sunset, one of the busiest streets in America. Few comps below: https://t.co/JrBZyGtcst #LADrought #Infrastructure #WaterCrisis #US

What @altcap, @MichaelDell, now joined by @Gwynne_Shotwell and others have done for this up-and-coming generation of young Americans will be looked at as one of the most consequential and game changing initiative to give every child a stake into America's success. Truly amazing! #GameChanger #FutureLeaders #EmpowerYouth #US

Political apathy, socialism, and the end of American exceptionalism. American exceptionalism is what makes America America: freedom, merit, ambition, property rights and rule of law. It is at risk because too many people who benefit from it treat voting as beneath them. The #PoliticalApathy #AmericanExceptionalism #Socialism #US

I used to think government inefficiency was awful. It's now clear that in many cases it was never inefficiency, it was fraud, theft and corruption all around. We likely have award winning levels of all of it in California. No wonder they're so incentivized to increase taxes... #Corruption #California #TaxIncreased #US

So Iran signs an agreement with the US, turns around, asks Hezbollah to attack Israel. Israel defends itself. Now: closes Strait of Hormuz again. Blames Israel for it all. Objective: strain US-Israel relations. Shame on us if we fall for this. #Iran #Hezbollah #Israel #IR #US #IL

This was long in the making! @Lightspark Grid now supports realtime payments (B2B, B2C, C2C) to China 🇨🇳 and adds CNY. More currencies, more payment systems, more redundancy, best dev experience. Can't stop, won't stop! https://t.co/FX2JDQZSJp https://t.co/gV0Ams5M9D #RealtimePayments #Fintech #Payments #CN

No one cares about a specific stablecoin or a specific network. Businesses and people want the most efficient way to get money from point A to point B. What they don’t want though is to become a captive tenant on yet another closed network if they can avoid it. #Stablecoin #Blockchain #Finance #Nocountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

Any official claiming there’s been a decrease in unsheltered homelessness in Los Angeles is insulting the intelligence and lived experience of Angelenos. #LosAngeles #Homelessness #Unsheltered #US

Are we about to see a dangerous drop in birth rates in the most developed economies? At this rate, well over 1/4 of the US population will end up on a GLP-1 agonist, and young healthy adults get on them earlier and earlier. People report a blunting of desire across the board on #BirthRates #PublicHealth #GLP1Agonists #US
