Congrats to @call_broccoli (W22) on raising $52M across their Series A and Series B!
Broccoli’s AI agents answer calls for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical companies around the clock, booking jobs directly into the scheduling software contractors already use and following up on open estimates.
After their EV startup stalled, @abhishekjain25 and @adityaketkar knocked on 140 contractor doors until a Sacramento plumbing owner gave them five minutes. They built the first product from her office in three weeks, and today she’s Broccoli’s COO.
More than 1,500 home service businesses now run on Broccoli, with over 10 million customer conversations handled and 2.5 million appointments booked.

Mind Blown 🤯
This is AMAZING
TRULY!
Introducing Reality-Aware Rendering in @Simulon, a completely new way to create with the real world.
Place neural assets with your phone and act out the scene. When you stop recording, Simulon renders the take, reading everything in it (what you do, what you say and the place around you), and your assets respond to all of it.
The final is regenerated from your recording: a new performance of the scene, not a copy of the footage.
Available now on iPhone. Coming to Android soon.

There should be an app where you upload your bills and bored billionaires swipe right to pay them.
What the what?!
Hey @grok, is this true??
Some data centers now run on lab-grown human brain neurons derived from stem cells, wired directly to silicon chips via electrode arrays, and kept alive on life support. Fed sugar every few days. They play Doom. We don’t know if they’re conscious.

The fun fact about the eMudhra certificate leak is that the numbers were so low that only an AI or a flawed/test script would have found them. No sane human would have thought that a fellow human could have done something that stupid.
Thank you for sharing and the reminder.
I recommend reading it too.

Kızım 2 yıllık ilk bölümü İspanya'da geçecek Erasmus Mundus programına kabul aldı. Vize için 2 ay randevu 2 ay da kararı bekledikten sonra RED geldi. Gerekçe belirsiz; okuldan rapor istedik gelmedi diyor. Oysa tüm belgeler tamam, okul bizden bir şey istenmedi diyor. 1 aydır okulun derslerini online alıyor. Murcia'da 2 ay önce ev tuttuk kira ödüyoruz. Elimiz kolumuz bağlı çaresiz durumdayız. Başına böyle bir şey gelen, yol gösterebilecek biri olur mu acaba?. Ya da Murcia'da yaşayan bize yardımcı olabilecek biri?. (RT çok makbule geçer)

في كل مرة أنظر فيها إلى ما يحدث في أنحاء العالم اليوم، من أوروبا إلى أميركا، وما نشهده من احتجاجات بسبب غلاء المعيشة والضغوط الاقتصادية، ومن حروب وفقر وجوع وأمراض في مناطق أخرى، أسأل نفسي: كيف وصلنا إلى هذه الحال، ونحن نملك من العلم والثروة والإمكانات ما يكفي لمعالجة الكثير من هذه المآسي؟
نرى أطفالاً يبكون من الجوع، وعائلات لا تجد ما تأكله، وشعوباً تعيش في الخوف والفقر والحروب. وفي المقابل، نرى عالماً ينفق المليارات على السلاح والصراعات ومحاولات فرض القوة والنفوذ، بينما يعجز عن توفير أبسط مقومات الحياة لهؤلاء الأبرياء.
وأنا أسأل: من المسؤول عن وصول هؤلاء الناس إلى هذه الحال؟ ومن المستفيد من استمرار معاناتهم؟
أليست الأولوية القصوى لكل دولة ولكل قيادة هي كرامة الإنسان، وحماية حياته، وتوفير الأمن والغذاء والعلاج والتعليم له ولأبنائه، بدلاً من الانشغال بفرض القوة والنفوذ على الآخرين؟
وكيف يستطيع الإنسان أن يعيش هو وأبناؤه في نعمة وراحة، بينما هناك أطفال في أماكن أخرى من العالم ينامون جائعين، أو يتألمون من المرض، أو يعيشون في خوف دائم؟ هل يكفي أن نقول إنهم بعيدون عنا، وإن معاناتهم لا تعنينا؟
وهنا أتذكر ما رُوي عن أمير المؤمنين عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه، أنه قال: "لو ماتت شاة على شط الفرات ضائعة، لظننت أن الله تعالى سائلي عنها يوم القيامة".
فإذا كان سيدنا عمر يخشى أن يُسأل أمام الله عن شاة ضائعة، فكيف بنا اليوم ونحن نرى أطفالاً يموتون جوعاً ومرضاً، وشعوباً كاملة تعاني، والعالم يملك القدرة على مساعدتها؟ أين مسؤولية القادة؟ وأين ضمائرنا جميعاً؟
قد يقول البعض إن هذا قدر الله ومشيئته. نعم، نحن نؤمن بقضاء الله وقدره، ولكن الله سبحانه وتعالى أمرنا بالرحمة والعدل والإحسان، ولم يأمرنا أن نقف متفرجين على معاناة الناس، أو أن نتخذ من القدر عذراً للتخلي عن مسؤولياتنا.
لا يجوز أن نرى طفلاً جائعاً ونقول: وما شأني أنا؟
فالحروب والفقر وعدم الاستقرار لا تقف آثارها عند حدود الدول، بل تنتقل مثل العدوى، وتؤثر في أمن الناس واقتصاداتهم ومستقبل أجيالهم. وما نراه بعيداً عنا اليوم قد يصل إلى أبوابنا غداً.
والأمر الذي يحزنني أكثر هو أن العالم ليس عاجزاً عن المساعدة. لدينا الإمكانات والعلم والموارد، ولدينا القدرة على إنقاذ الأرواح وتخفيف المعاناة. لكن هل لدينا الإرادة الحقيقية لذلك؟
لا يكفي أن نتعاطف مع الضحايا أو نعتاد مشاهدة مآسيهم على الشاشات. علينا أن نسأل عن الأسباب، وأن نعمل على معالجتها. فكما لا ننتظر المرض حتى ينتشر ويصيبنا لنتحرك، لا يجوز أن ننتظر حتى تصل إلينا مآسي الشعوب لنشعر بمسؤوليتنا.
رسالتي إلى كل من يملك القرار والقدرة على التأثير: اجعلوا كرامة الإنسان وحياته فوق حسابات القوة والنفوذ والمصالح السياسية. عالجوا أسباب الحروب والفقر، واجعلوا الإنسان أولاً في كل قرار.
فما قيمة كل ما وصل إليه العالم من تقدم وقوة وثروة، إذا لم نستطع أن نحمي طفلاً من الجوع، أو أسرة من التشرد، أو شعباً من الحرب؟
القوة الحقيقية للدول ليست في قدرتها على إخضاع الآخرين، بل في قدرتها على حماية الإنسان وصون كرامته.
اللهم ارحم المستضعفين في كل مكان، وأطعم الجائعين، وآمِن الخائفين، وألّف بين قلوب الناس، وأبعد عن عالمنا شرور الحروب والظلم والمعاناة.
This. This is exactly why it’s a great investment to bet on Indian scientists!
They start with the premise: what if there is no infrastructure? How do we still serve & make affordable and accessible healthcare a reality. So impressive!
Just so people understand the significance of this news from India (because Hyderabad-based PopVax is a company you should be tracking):
Many mRNA COVID vaccines out there have two flaws: 1. They need very cold freezers to stay potent, and 2. They stop being effective when the virus mutates.
PopVax made a COVID mRNA vaccine that can stay in a normal fridge for months without expiring, and it's designed to remain effective even when the virus changes.
Their vaccine (PVX-001) was entirely designed and manufactured in India, and they plan to open source the design so that other teams can build on their work.
After these human trials, PopVax will replicate their methodology across other vaccines + cancer therapies. Their goal is to leverage AI to make vaccines/therapies which are faster and cheaper to produce, more resilient, and more effective than anything else out there.
What the fudge! @stephenmarriott @adrianpdy @peteror_
There should be a law against NDA’s to not reveal a company’s sale to another entity. This is BS!
they didn’t hack ledger. they didn’t exploit the code. they BOUGHT the company selling you the device. $86 million gone
a company called CryptoBilis was an authorized ledger reseller in southeast asia. trusted. legit. sold ledgers for years
a random chinese company quietly bought CryptoBilis from its malaysian owner
made the original owner sign a confidentiality agreement. he couldn’t tell anyone the company was sold
same brand name. same website. same “authorized reseller” badge. but different people behind it now
the new owners started opening every ledger device before shipping
soldered a tiny spy chip onto the board inside. repackaged it. sealed the box. shipped it
the device looked normal. felt normal. worked normal
but the spy chip was silently capturing your private keys the moment you set it up
your seed phrase was sent to the attacker before you even finished writing it down
hundreds of wallets across ethereum tron and bitcoin. all drained
the guy who lost $5.3 million said “i did everything right. no leverage. no memecoins. i stored my funds on a hardware wallet like we’re all told to”
he was right. he did everything right
except his device had a parasite inside it that he couldn’t see
ledger has now told CryptoBilis to stop all sales. told recent buyers NOT to set up their devices
mark karpelès posted photos of the implant. normal board on top. spy chip below
the most dangerous attack in crypto this year wasn’t a line of code
it was a business acquisition

Sorry to interrupt your Sunday, friends.
I really hesitated to write this, but if I don’t speak up today, I will be facing a severe financial crisis within a week or two.
To be clear, I am not asking for charity or financial help. I am asking for work.
I have been completely without work for the last three months. My last project ended on June 30th, and since then I have knocked on every door I know—calling, texting, meeting contacts, and following up.
People say they will try, but after that first talk, the silence takes over. Calls go unanswered or get cut after a couple of rings. I honestly don't know whether the industry is shifting because of AI or if my age (52) is working against me, but despite over 13 years of solid experience in the field, nothing has materialized.
Now, my savings are down to the very end. I can barely hold out for another week or two.
I am a professional content writer, translator, and speaker who is comfortable on stage and in front of the camera. I write and translate fluently across Gujarati, Hindi, and English, with Gujarati being my strongest suit.
Many of you already know my grasp of politics and my political writing, but I am equally adept at covering Bollywood and cricket. My priority is media houses, digital platforms, or publications, but I am open to any genuine writing or translation opportunity.
I can work remotely or take up assignments on-site anywhere in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, as I need to be close to my elderly mother to take care of her health.
Because my situation is urgent, I am especially looking for quick-turnaround freelance assignments or immediate projects where payments can be settled on submission.
If you or anyone in your circle has work, please reach out to me directly in my DMs.
A humble, earnest request: while I deeply value your warmth, please refrain from sending just "best wishes" or "stay strong" messages right now. I am fighting hard to stay out of a very dark headspace, and right now, only actual work leads can pull me through.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for your support. My inbox is open. 🙏

I don’t think I’ve ever teared up on live TV—I think I did speaking to Vithya Ramraj, daughter of a truck driver, who brings back 3 medals from the Asian Games. 🇮🇳♥️ teapawt.net/ndtv/status/2105349834…
