The Nicolelis Institute for Advanced Brain Studies has been established!
Our mission: Treat 1 billion people suffering from brain disorders (neurologic and psychiatric) using low cost, non-invasive brain-machine interfaces and neuroprosthetic devices.

The hyperscalers are morphing into vertically integrated behemoths that control everything from copper mining, to power generation, to infrastructure investment.
This kind of concentrated corporate power hasn't been seen since the trusts of the Gilded Age

Stop it @DarioAmodei. The data exists for <1% of biology. Likely AI will help get a few better drugs slightly faster & more efficiently in that time frame but honestly, especially with 5-8 years needed in the clinic, what you are saying is hyperbolic BS!

This is mental illness. There is no evidence for any of this. Dario is just a cult leader.
Anthropic not a business. It is a money furnace run by misguided kids religiously convinced they’re building a machine god. It should be left to die from natural causes.

Não são.
Os processadores são mais potentes, um data center de I.A. ultrapassa 100Kw de potência e um comum consome 20Kw de energia.
Nos EUA utilizam turbinas a gás e geradores a diesel durante 24 horas, pois a rede local não dá conta,provocando barulho e vibração constantes.

Why is he saying this? lol. 🤣
Just trying to pump $100-200 billion more up after getting valuation decreased by $1 trillion.
Clearly not true and Anthropic has done nothing to suggest they themselves will contribute meaningfully to these goals since they have no drug candidates for any of these and they have the best models,” billions, compute and talent, etc.
Just one thing I’m working on is a platform approach & when it works will work as with combo therapy or mono-therapy for all of these conditions and I don’t think I’m going to cure every disease.
Dario Amodei says cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and mental illness will be relics of the past in less than a decade, and that "we can create an age of miracles"
“You know, if today we look at things like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, mental illness, these will be relics of the past in, I think, less than a decade."
"And I believe that the company which gets the risks right will also be the company that has the license to operate that society trusts and society believes can build the benefits in the right way."
"I think if we do this right, we can create an age of miracles where humanity is able to solve problems that have eluded us for millennia."
"We have to make sure that all the risks, all the ways that things can go wrong with this technology, we very carefully address those risks as we bring the benefits, and as we have a viable business at the same time.”

That's not how mental illness works, and frankly, the more fantastical promises/predictions these CEOs make, the stronger the case against trusting them or their product becomes.
Big Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos vibes.

He looks and sounds like a crazy person. He needs to be in a mental health unit for observation.

Just now outside Anthropic HQ: a Jenga tower of tech logos, with Anthropic at the bottom holding everything up. Pull that block and the whole economy wobbles, along with working people’s retirements. #BlockTheIPO

If you do not see this man, and his peers, as cult leaders, you are a fool. They are playing all angles simultaneously—doomsday cult, healing miracles cult, secret knowledge cult, messianic cult—and it’s been effective.

Just got back from seeing it. Elon Musk is a gutless, soulless fucking monster. Investigate. Prosecute. Imprison. Denaturalize. Deport .

HEY CANADA, WE COULD DO THIS. 🇨🇦 👇
Rather than leaving homeless people to freeze outside, Minneapolis transformed a warehouse into a village with 100 tiny homes where people sleep safely.
People get a locked door, a safe place to sleep, and 24hr mental health care, substance-use treatment, and employment support, with a clear path toward permanent housing. 👏🤍

No clear thinker, much less any legitimate scientist or philosopher, would ever make such claims, only a charlatan, a crank, or both.

A new understanding of genetics was supposed to increase the odds of drug success, but it hasn't done that according to two studies presented at annual meeting of American Heart Association. The AI true believers should pay attention statnews.com/2026/11/08/hear…
