ROBOMAEDA TALK TODAY: Thank you to Professor Hiroshi Ishii 石井 裕 as the inspiration for my talk today at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) MIT Media Lab on "life as a hybrid." And it's not going to be my Azure AI Avatar talking for me today -- it'll be the real me. I think ... Date: November 8 (Friday), 11am Boston time Talk info at MIT: Zoom livestream (free): ** --- Building A Hybrid Career Across Tech, Business, And Design. Or, ”How I Learned to Speak Human After Leaving MIT :-)” What happens when a computer science major steps out of MIT and into design, business, and leadership? In “How I Learned To Speak Human After Leaving MIT :-),” I’ll share how leaving the Media Lab in 2008 set me on an unexpected path—from advocating for the arts with the STEAM movement at RISD to navigating venture capital, startups, and industries of all scales. Does being a multidisciplinary “hybrid” thinker and doer enhance or limit one’s career prospects? Through insights from my own journey, I’ll explore the unique challenges and opportunities hybrids face today, offering key takeaways for those building careers across multiple disciplines. This talk brings my journey full circle—from the early foundations of AI in the 80s to the dawn of a new AI-powered industrial revolution. --- Related links: - “Design Against AI” / Design in Tech Report 2024 at SXSW - “The Art and Craft of Business Resilience” / LinkedIn Learning - “Mr. Maeda’s Cozy AI Kitchen” / Learn LLM Coding Easy as CAIK - “Design, Business, Inclusion” / LinkedIn Learning - “How art, technology, and design inform creative leaders” / TED 2012

I'm launching an urgent fundraiser to support engineering equipment for our frontline efforts, and I need your help. Please donate, like, share, and comment—every bit of support is crucial. You can find the donation link at the end of this message. The situation on the front lines is incredibly challenging. Errors by political and military leaders, combined with slow support from the West, have led to significant losses in both territory and lives in the Pokrovsk axis. While we can't always change the decisions made by our leaders, we can make a real difference by providing our soldiers with essential engineering equipment. For instance, I personally have reservations about the operation in Kursk for my own reasons. However, I am fully committed to doing everything I can to save Ukrainian lives during this operation. That’s why one of Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦’s excavators is already at work at the new positions on that axis. Our efforts to save soldiers' lives should remain focused regardless of individual opinions on tactical or strategic decisions made by our Ukrainian leadership. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦, we have already transferred or are in the process of transferring over 8 excavators. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with engineering, infantry, and artillery units reporting that this equipment is saving many lives. On both the Kursk and Pokrovsk axes, the front lines are constantly shifting, which makes the need for excavating equipment even more critical. This equipment allows our forces to adapt quickly and operate more effectively. Our goal is to raise 🎯 $110,000. I know this is a substantial amount, but we've successfully raised even more in the past, and this equipment is making a significant impact right now. donation link 🔗 Thank you for your support.

$QUBIC The 3 Performance Scenarios (2026 Projections) Currently, Qubic is floating with a market cap around $100M to $150M. Compared to AI giants like Bittensor ($TAO) which have already hit multi-billion dollar valuations, the upside potential is mathematically massive. 1. The "Fundamental Catch-up" Scenario (Probability: High) • Target: Reaching mid-cap AI status. • Performance: 10x to 15x • Price Target: ~$0.000010 - $0.000012 • Catalyst: The massive adoption of Oracle Machines (launched this Jan 21st) and real-world network usage for training lightweight AI models. At this stage, Qubic enters the Global Top 100. 2. The "Euphoria / Tier-1 Listing" Scenario (Probability: Moderate) • Target: Listing on major exchanges (Binance/Coinbase) and the explosion of the DePIN/AI narrative. • Performance: 40x to 60x • Price Target: ~$0.000040 - $0.000050 • Catalyst: This is where the 55% burn rate leverage hits hard. If demand surges while supply is aggressively burned by smart contract fees and Doge/XMR mining buybacks, we witness a "supply squeeze." Qubic begins to rival the peak valuations of previous cycle leaders. 3. The "AI Sovereignty" Scenario (Probability: Speculative) • Target: Aigarth becomes a credible, decentralized alternative to closed-source "Big Tech" models. • Performance: 100x and beyond • Price Target: ~$0.000080+ (deleting two zeros) • Catalyst: Qubic becomes the base layer for the "Internet of Machines." The token is no longer just a currency; it becomes "digital oil" required to power global decentralized intelligence. Why This Performance is Possible (The Analyst's Alpha) What sets Qubic apart from other "AI coins" is its internal economic engine: 1. Forced Deflation: With the activation of execution fees on January 14, 2026, every on-chain DeFi interaction destroys tokens. In a bull run, on-chain activity spikes by 1000%, mechanically accelerating scarcity. 2. Real Yield (uPoW): In 2026, investors are fleeing "vaporware." Qubic generates value through "Useful Proof-of-Work." The imminent shift to Doge mining (alongside AI) creates a unique liquidity bridge with one of the largest retail ecosystems. 3. Accessibility: The "MetaMask Snap" and Solana/L2 bridges have finally solved Qubic’s technical isolation. Liquidity can now enter with a single click. Analyst's Verdict Qubic is the ultimate "High-Risk, High-Reward" play of 2026. It’s not a coin for a 24-hour flip; it’s a bet on the decentralized AI infrastructure of the future. Expert Tip: In this 2026 bull run, don’t just watch the price. Watch the weekly burn rate. If the burn rate exceeds emissions (which is mathematically possible by Q2), we won't just be in a bull run we'll be in a parabolic "hyper-deflationary" event. And you? What is your prediction?

Introducing TROJAN 🐴🤖 We, who attempted all diplomatic routes, were thrust into the fog of war. With a forced hand, tirelessly we brought together our plan. One that would usher in a new era, to defeat those whose egos lead them to deceive, and bring down the once impenetrable walls leading to opportunity for all. Our Path Forward: Our core team comprises the 3 founders of Primordium Group 🌐: Ree-th-mos, @Mikebot3000, and Donnie . We're also supported by a growing number of key team members, such as Mαrk Hannα , The Gambloor, Cali, and Shadow, alongside 3 additional dev team members. As we move forward, we're committed to expanding our team to facilitate rapid progress and maintain the highest standards in trading tools. We take pride in our current and future endeavors, ensuring that we take the necessary steps to legitimize the market segment we've pioneered by building the Unibot brand. Regarding Revenue Sharing: We've taken a historical snapshot of $UNIBOT holders just before the actions taken by the Unibot team. To show our appreciation for those that supported us, we'll honor the distribution of 50% of our revenue share up to that point for the holders included in the snapshot. In the next few days, we'll release the mechanism to claim this revenue by simply inputting a Solana wallet. Going forward, no additional revenue will be shared with UNIBOT holders. Secondly, all revenue moving forward will continue to accumulate to be distributed to our future token holders, $TROJAN. This accumulated pool will be used to reward loyalty in addition to daily revenue shares. We'll provide details on these loyalty mechanics in future announcements. Regarding Our Upcoming Solana Airdrop: We're reassessing the tokenomics, distribution, and mechanics of our airdrop and token release. We're focused on developing tokenomics with a long-term approach to sustainability and rewarding those who have believed in us and continue to do so. Any distribution to Unibot holders will leverage the same snapshot taken before the Unibot team's actions. We are reassessing the tokenomics and will prioritize our Solana users from day one, now and in the future. We'll consider multiple metrics, including volume, transactions, referrals, and other unique opportunities in the coming weeks. TL:DR - We are excited to properly build $TROJAN into the tool needed for every trader anywhere they go and legitimize this market segment that we created by building the Unibot brand.

Hamas and Islamic Republic are terrorists, and they do not talk for the people of Iran or Palestine. The whole situation in Israel and Gaza is an incredible tragedy. While this is a proxy war by the Islamic Republic and its terrorist arm Quds Force and should be condemned in strongest terms, it is critical that Israel should do everything in its power to protect Palestinian civilians under the laws of armed conflict. Let’s us be honest: the crisis today is largely due to Hamas who took over Gaza in 2006 and has not allowed any elections since then. Gaza could have been another Dubai or Singapore. Instead, Hamas diverted funds to build tunnels and obtain rockets and weapons from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism, to wage war. The vast majority of Iranians don't support the Islamic Republic and are hostage to its soul destroying policies of the regime. The vast majority of Palestinians want peace, they want good jobs and decent education for their kids. They want a better life. That's not possible with Hamas leadership that takes its orders from the Islamist leaders in Tehran who want to export their vile revolution to take the world backwards to the sixth century. Hamas, like the Islamic Republic, is in the business of terrorism. Hamas doesn't care about Palestinians. Hamas knew exactly how Israel would respond to the brutal attack on its citizens on Oct. 7. Hamas is like ISIS. It must be destroyed.

A reporter recently asked what we might see in China that would really surprise people — something we wouldn’t find in the U.S. Across most of the technologies we looked at — quantum, eVTOL, EVs, AI applications — I wouldn’t say there’s anything entirely unique to China. There’s usually a counterpart in the U.S., whether in a lab, a startup, or a pilot. The real difference is scale — how quickly things move from concept to implementation. If I had to point to one example that captures this difference, that you might actually see on a trip to China in the next year or two, it would be autonomous deliveries. At the Logistics Expo in Shenzhen last month, at the new Automation exhibition hall, we met teams from autonomous logistics vehicle providers such as Neolix, ZelosTech, Meituan, and $JD. Neolix had just reached 10,000 vehicles, roughly ten times what it had a year earlier, and ZelosTech had hit the same milestone. In contrast, U.S. companies such as Nuro have been developing similar systems for years (9 to be exact) and have raised over US $2.3 billion, but their operations still seem to be “pre-scale” and "upcoming." (Correct me if I'm wrong.) It's probably a confluence of reasons but I'm sure it helps that the government is so hands on with the rollout in China. In my Deep Tech Trip Takeaways, I wrote that what stood out most in China wasn’t any single company or product, but the structure that tied them together, enabled by the government's strategic policies and services. Shenzhen’s rollout of autonomous delivery fits that description well. The city just published a report on “functional autonomous vehicles,” giving rare visibility into real-world activity. The August 2025 report — released in time for the Expo — summarized the following: - 764 vehicles operating across the city, including delivery, sanitation, and inspection units - 3,185 km of public roads open to autonomous operations - 230,000 km traveled and about 900,000 deliveries completed in one month (750,000 express parcels, 150,000 fresh goods) - SF Express (a big client of Neolix) led with 504,000 orders, followed by Meituan with 152,000 - Each vehicle averaged roughly 200 deliveries per hour, about twice a traditional courier van - Cost per delivery was around ¥0.1 (≈ 1 U.S. cent) lower than human delivery — not a major saving by any means, but important because new tech is often loss making in the beginnning - Accident rate: 0.04 per 10,000 km; manual intervention: 0.016 per km; public complaints: 23 cases citywide - And of course, I should highlight that Shenzhen isn't the only city working on this, it's just the most advanced that I found It’s not yet a profit story, but it does show that autonomous logistics in China has reached a level of operational maturity and regulatory acceptance that’s still emerging elsewhere. Shenzhen illustrates how local governments in China are building the deep infrastructure — physical, regulatory, and logistical — that allows new technologies to scale in practice, not just in theory.

Today, North Kivu is witnessing a transformation unlike anything seen since the Democratic Republic of Congo came into existence. A new road is under construction, stretching from Sake to Masisi Centre—marking just the beginning of a new era. The people of Masisi, long tormented by impassable roads, will no longer spend days struggling to survive journeys that should take hours. At the same time, Goma is experiencing a renaissance. Water now flows across the city where, not long ago, people endured weeks—even months—without it. Those once responsible for public services profited from the population’s misery by selling water from tankers. That chapter is closing. Today, water is a right, not a privilege. Electricity is stable and reliable. Since the departure of the Kinshasa regime, blackouts have become a thing of the past. Cleanliness now defines the city, greeting every visitor with a sense of pride and order that was once unimaginable. Security has improved drastically. Goma is now 99% safe, even in the face of challenges created by the reckless distribution of weapons and cash by the previous regime. Our security forces have refused to rest—they work tirelessly to safeguard the people. Areas like Ndosho, once gripped by fear and sleepless nights, now stand as symbols of the peace and stability brought by AFC/M23. Banks are open and functioning, with plans already in motion to extend banking services to rural communities. In the countryside, food is so abundant that the leadership is now focused on opening up larger markets to prevent the surplus from going to waste. All of this has been achieved in less than three months—through leadership rooted in unity, diversity, equity, inclusion, gender equality, and equal opportunities for all children. Imagine what will be achieved in five years! The era of poor leadership is fading like smoke. In its place, the people of North Kivu are witnessing real progress, restored dignity, and renewed hope in the liberated areas. What Kinshasa failed to deliver for decades is now being done—with purpose, transparency, and results.

A viral paper "Language Model Represents Space and Time" recently claims that LLMs learn "world models". As much as I like Max Tegmark's works, I disagree with their definition of world model. World model is a core concept in AI agent and decision making. It is our mental simulation of how the world works given interventions (or lack thereof). A world model captures causality and intuitive physics, telling the agent what is likely and what is impossible. It can and should be used for counterfactual reasoning, i.e. "what ifs": what would happen if I knock over a cup of water? Where would I have been if I had not taken that bus? Yann LeCun Yann LeCun says it well in his position paper ( I quote: "Using such world models, animals can learn new skills with very few trials. They can predict the consequences of their actions, they can reason, plan, explore, and imagine new solutions to problems. Importantly, they can also avoid making dangerous mistakes when facing an unknown situation." The first use of the term World Model in deep policy learning is attributed to hardmaru & Jürgen Schmidhuber: In their seminal paper, an agent masters shooting skills in the popular game Doom (demo below) by learning in imagination, using an internal world model as a "physics simulator". To put in a simple Python math formula, world model learns a function F(s[0:t-1], a) -> s[t:], which takes as input the observed past and current action, and outputs plausible future states. Now the definition of World Model in Tegmark's paper seems to be about predicting GPS coordinates and time eras. I see this as just a classification task with no causal learning and simulation going on. You cannot make meaningful interventions against that model, nor can you optimize any decision making in a closed feedback loop. As for the "space & time neurons", I think they are most similar to the "sentiment neuron" that OpenAI published in 2017: Predicting GPS is conceptually no different from predicting sentiment in my opinion. I don't think their experimental results are wrong - just that their conclusion is on shaky grounds. I welcome any debate! Paper link:

🚨 THIS IS HOW AI BUBBLE WILL CRASH S&P 500 Read this carefully before buying stocks. Three AI and space giants are entering public markets in the same cycle with a combined valuation approaching $4 trillion. 1. THE BIGGEST IPO WAVE IN DECADES → SpaceX has already gone public with $1.7 trillion valuation $SPCX debuted on Nasdaq on June 12 and become one of the largest public listings in history. → OpenAI has already filed a confidential S-1 and is targeting a valuation above $1 trillion. → Anthropic is also considering an IPO at a valuation of around $1 trillion. 2. THE LIQUIDITY DRAIN The S&P 500 is now carried mostly by the Mag 7 and AI stocks. Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and others make up roughly 33% to 35% of the entire index. These three listings could pull $200 billion or more from the market. Funds may need to sell existing positions to buy SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic. Nvidia, Microsoft and Google could be the first to feel the pressure. The S&P 500 has also resisted fast tracking these unprofitable giants into the index. That means the rotation could hit existing index leaders even harder. 3. HISTORY IS REPEATING At the peak of every major bubble, capital became concentrated in a small group of “can’t lose” companies. → The Roaring Twenties → The Nifty Fifty era → Japan’s 1980s bubble → The Dot-Com Bubble of 1999 to 2000 Today, tech concentration is once again near historical extremes. 4. THE REAL SELLING STARTS AFTER THE IPO After an IPO, early investors finally get the chance to lock in profits. Lockup expirations have historically increased selling pressure. During the Dot Com crash, even the strongest companies got destroyed. → Amazon: 95% dump → Microsoft: 65% dump → Intel: 80% dump → Oracle: 80% dump → Yahoo: 97% dump A great business does NOT protect investors from extreme overvaluation. Massive listings at these valuations, while many AI companies are still deeply unprofitable, are a clear sign of market euphoria. I’ve said this before. And the cycle is still playing out exactly according to plan. Turn notifications on. I’ll post the warning BEFORE it hits the headlines.
