I asked Claude: "What types of businesses outside of the labs will get stronger as raw intelligence explodes?"
Honestly, spot on response.

Another beautiful to Sir Patrick Steward tribute that I ran across on Reddit
If the creator of this would let me know, I am happy to flag it

I'm not crying, you're crying!
Paying tribute to a great actor and a fine human being

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.

Walter Isaacson asks Peter Thiel what humans can uniquely do in the AI era.
Thiel: "We're very relational… these relational dimensions will become more important."
When knowledge is worth $0, the only career skills that matter:
- networking / social calibration
- persuasion (sales)
- curiosity (harnessing AI)
- taste (curation)
- storytelling
- grit
- golfing with clients (or equivalent)
We'll get so sick of a fake world that we'll go back to doing business like it's the 1800s. A handshake at the local saloon.

Profesor ekonomii na uniwersytecie stwierdził, że kiedyś oblał całą klasę. Ta klasa upierała się, że socjalizm działa i że nikt nie powinien być biedny, a nikt bogaty, że wszyscy są równi...
Nauczyciel powiedział im: „OK, przeprowadzimy eksperyment z socjalizmem w tej grupie.
Wszystkie oceny będą uśrednione, a każdy dostanie tę samą ocenę, więc nikt nie oblany i nikt nie dostanie 10”.
Po pierwszym teście oceny zostały zsumowane i podzielone przez liczbę studentów, i każdy dostał 8.
Studenci, którzy uczyli się intensywnie, byli zdenerwowani, ale ci, którzy uczyli się mniej, byli zachwyceni.
Gdy zbliżał się drugi test, studenci, którzy wcześniej uczyli się trochę, uczyli się jeszcze mniej, a ci, którzy uczyli się intensywniej, powiedzieli sobie, że oni też chcą „darmowego prezentu”, więc też uczyli się mniej.
Średnia z drugiego testu wyniosła 6.
Gdy przeprowadzono trzeci test, średnia ocena wyniosła 4. Ku wielkiemu zaskoczeniu wszystkich studentów, wszyscy oblali.
Nauczyciel powiedział im, że socjalizm w końcu zawiedzie, ponieważ gdy połowa populacji widzi, że nie musi pracować, bo druga połowa się nimi zajmie, a gdy ta połowa, która pracowała, zdaje sobie sprawę, że nie ma sensu już pracować, bo inni korzystają z ich pracy, to jest koniec każdego narodu.
Ta historia może być bajką, a nie faktem, ale morał jest prawdziwy.

"India is also seen as the biggest global loser from artificial intelligence (AI), as our key advantages of demographics and a skilled white-collar workforce lose relevance in an AI-first world. Innovation and research & development, which are driving value creation globally, are seen as areas of weakness in India. One can refute this argument, but many allocators believe it."
Akash Prakash is a neutral commentator.
When he explains why FIIs have lost interest in India, it is worth listening.
FIIs are now much less convinced about India’s growth story.
Unless the Finance Ministry makes substantial structural changes in capital markets, including taxation, there is no clear trigger right now to attract foreign capital.
Interestingly, Hyderabad is the only Indian city mentioned in this chart and is rated the opposite of Zurich.

Salman Rushdie is a lucky man. Hindus have not threatened to behead him, even when he has insulted them or their religion.
About 37 years ago he wrote a book that enraged followers of another faith. Most of us from that generation know what happened after that. However, for the benefit of Gen Z, who may not, after it was published, a fatwa was issued and a price put on his head. He went into hiding. Decades later, he came out, thinking the danger had passed. It had not. At a public event he was attacked, lost an eye, and nearly lost an arm.
Now he has compared the RSS to the violent, insurrectionist Irish Republican Army. He can say that because he knows criticism of Hindus is safe for him. There will be outrage, and then it will pass.
Why doesn’t he write another book about the religion that cost him an eye and nearly an arm, and see what happens?

Hardly a bhakt, but the spectacle of Salman Rushdie being highly concerned about Hindu nationalism in India being a threat when his eye was gouged out in upstate New York by a California born Muslim 33 years after the Iranian ayatollah declared a fatwah on him for writing a book… is quite something.
The Mongols had a practice of camping >1km away from riverbanks. One of the reasons for this was to avoid any flash floods from the unpredictable steppe and mountain rivers.

Cyient up 7%
The co in the past has spoken about the transition from a pure play ER&D co to a lifecycle engineering services model. This means they want to stay with the customer across the entire life of the product or asset — from design and manufacturing all the way through aftermarket, maintenance, upgrades
This expands the TAM
Traditional ER&D market ~$80–100 billion.
Full engineering lifecycle opportunity estimated at $2.4–3.2 trillion.
The co lays out 3 yr road map
FY26 → Stabilisation
FY27 → Transformation
FY28 → Scaling up
Listen into to more on targets and goals
