if the trade from 2000-&gt;2020 was tech+software, what is the equivalent trade from 2020-&gt;2040

lotta ppl saying hardware+compute+energy bc of how important it is for AI+robotics

Robotics for sure. Aka “embodied intelligent agents”, a very old term from robotics that sounds over hyped but fits perfectly now. 

Vast categories of labor will be automated. And not just by big expensive robots.

Even cheap Roomba-like robots are already getting arms attached

I see a lot of takes like this, but then I also appreciate that nearly all the people making them do so from a place of being deeply invested in how things are (which is unsustainable long-term)

The only clear thing is that it's very impossible to have an objective opinion with kneejerk market reactions this bad

I think what most Americans miss about current events is understanding that the world is going to go through as much change in the next 5 years as we saw during the previous 50, and the USA is woefully unprepared for what that future will end up like

First they ignore you...
Then they mock you...
Then they fight you...
Then you win




...then they imitate you

We strongly condemn the PRC's irrational provocations. We firmly oppose PLA's actions that undermine regional peace. Standing guard at the forefront of freedom and democracy, remain steadfast in defending our territorial sovereignty.

Heard some crazy stuff about how Chinese nationals were touring an advanced chip fap research lab associated with a Bay Area university, thanks to a "grant" given by a university in Shenzhen

Seems like the result of that "lucky" relationship

China is out competing ASML. 

The laser-induced discharge plasma (LDP) EUV generation commercialization push is a DeepSeek moment for lithography that I was fearful of. 

LDP is much more efficient than laser produced plasma (LPP) which ASML uses. LDP vaporizes a small quantity https://t.co/rmkmiiW9Sr

I wonder how drastically AI is gonna change intelligence work

i built myself a personal intelligence agency that delivers daily briefings for ~$1/day

it scrapes hundreds of news sources 24/7, uses gemini 2.0 flash for all the heavy lifting (reading/summarizing/analysis) and gemini 2.5 pro to write the final briefings https://t.co/NSXIR3F6a9

Senator Elizabeth Warren kicks off the confirmation hearing for Trump's pick for SEC Chair Paul Atkins with a brutal attack of his record:

"He got pretty much everything wrong in the run up to the biggest financial crash since the Great Depression. That is not a record that deserves promotion"

Septagenerian senator who almost caused a financial crisis by illegally killing some banks in order to shut down an industry she didn't like is talking shit about a nominee to replace the worst SEC chair in its entire history (that she got to choose!)

Lizzy should really just retire already

Seems like Texas is getting serious about building out a new nuclear industry. 

Considering the Lone Star State’s success with solar, wind, and of course oil and gas, the bullish embrace of nuclear and geothermal seems like a good sign for clean firm power.

Law & Policy

agents with wallets need safeguards to prevent illegal transactions

This is a big problem with a lot of crypto agents stuff: you have no idea what it's going to do with the wallet, and you can't rely on it to enforce its own policies

This is why bots are better, because they implement strictly defined algorithmic logic instead of being random number generator playing dice with your funds
