America is 250 years old today. The next 250 will be written by AI and whoever controls the energy and compute.

J-Cal’s advice to founders: “If you partner with OpenAI or Anthropic, they will slit your throat and take your business wholesale. Don't trust them. Use your own models.” “There is no free pizza. There's no free beer. When somebody like Sam Altman comes to you and says, ‘Here's some free tokens,’ your alarm should go off. If you follow the Microsoft example, Lotus 1-2-3 and Word Perfect were their partners. They were replaced with Excel. They were replaced, obviously, with Microsoft Word. You don't even know those other two. That's exactly what OpenAI has to do, and they have no choice but to do that now because they have a trillion-dollar market cap. They must win the application layer. And Sam Altman went to Y Combinator and he said, ‘We'll give you $2 million worth of free tokens.’ And I came out and I said, ‘Listen, this is nothing personal against Sam. Sam's a very aggressive deal maker and he wants to get access to those startups because he knows, having run Y Combinator, that if he can get their innovations, those founders' latest thoughts about what's around the corner, he can incorporate them into the platform.’ Zuckerberg did the same thing. He said, ‘Hey, I'm going to give people a bunch of access, going to give them money. Come to the Facebook platform.’ Nobody who went to bed with Microsoft in the '80s, Facebook in the 2000s, or Sam Altman now in the 2020s did not wake up with their throat slit. This is a message to founders. If you partner with any of these people, they will slit your throat and take your business wholesale. There is nothing to discuss here. Don't trust them. Use your own models.”

Switzerland's parliament just voted to lift its post-Fukushima nuclear ban (a referendum still looms). Four aging reactors supply up to ~40% of its power.  Even the most cautious are pushing towards more energy amid the AI mania.

500,000 robots by 2030 from China alone, per Morgan Stanley, who keeps revising the number up: 14,000, then 26,000, then 50,000. Every forecast of an exponential starts too low. Every time.

The White House is now approving frontier AI access on a customer-by-customer basis. For the first time in US history, the government is in the release loop.

Only AI can keep up with AI. That's what will guide the entire security model of the next decade.

When it comes to your health, you don't feel cancer until it's stage three or four. Just because your body feels fine, it doesn't mean it's fine. Get checked yearly!

Get to know one of my closest buddies and current Moonshot Mate, a fantastic and brilliant entrepreneur!

We can solve problems, especially the most pressing ones. 2 years ago who was talking about orbital data centers? No one. Now? Everyone is playing the sprinting game.

People ask me what the Raspberry Pi moment is for robotics.... It was when I learned a $4,900 humanoid robot is the price of a cheap used car.

We are giving away $2 million to those who can use AI to build REAL BUSINESSES that solve REAL PROBLEMS for 100,000 people. If you ever wanted to start, but didn't know how or with what, this is your chance.

We are solving 2,000 year old problems. The reality is, not because they got easier or the systems are cheating. But because we as humans got BETTER.

AI shifted energy from a global environmental debate into a national capacity rate to the point where every country now HAS to deliver.

In truth, the experts who are experts in the way things used to be are the last to see what's coming next.

If the Frontier Labs “give” the American Citizens ownership to share in the wealth creation, how much should they provide?

The Roman/Byzantine Empire lasted 1500 years. United States has lasted 250 years thus far. There will be a new civilization post the Singularity. Which name do you like best? The Continuum, The Abundance Imperium, and The Ascendant Civilization.

Running a project solo means doing the work of a research team, a data team, and a media team, all by yourself. @DynamicWebPaige knows that grind — she's spent years inside Google DeepMind's Gemini team figuring out how AI agents can carry that load, so a team of one can still ship something ambitious. She's walking through how, live, next Friday, July 10. If you're in the journey of building your AI business with with a small team, this one's for you. luma.com/moonshots-qrll
