Geoengineering and Interoception: A Tech Roundup

As we tinker with climate and our inner selves, let’s not lose sight of what truly matters.

The world of technology is buzzing with news from the skies to Silicon Valley. Solar geoengineering is no longer just a concept, but a practical challenge requiring significant infrastructure. Meanwhile, scientists are decoding the mysteries of interoception, the sense that makes us feel alive inside.


Meanwhile, SpaceX’s valuation has surpassed that of Amazon, making it the fifth most valuable company globally. The tech giant is also on a buying spree, acquiring AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion. But as G7 leaders push for access to top US AI models and China scrambles for sovereignty, tensions are high.


Back home in America, Trump’s export strategy faces hurdles from his own administration's export controls. Huawei is making a comeback, overcoming restrictions on advanced chipmaking gear. The tech sector seems to be veering towards gene-editing startups as fears of superintelligent AI grow.


A brain implant now allows an ALS patient to work full-time, translating his brain activity into speech. But amidst these advances, a secret society’s programs range from cult-building to prepping for World War III. And while ChatGPT loses its market share, quantum experiments hint at a future where eternity is possible.


Demis Hassabis started DeepMind with the vision of transforming science through AI, achieving groundbreaking success with AlphaFold2. As we marvel at these technological leaps, let’s not forget their profound implications for our future and humanity as a whole.
