WE’RE BUILDING THE FUTURE TODAY . SEE IT MADE .
The decisions and technologies we are making today will all play a role in shaping what our future looks like – for better or worse. As a result our future is constantly evolving. Here you can see what we’re doing today to make our future tomorrow.
Anthropic is lobbying the White House to reverse a foreign-access ban on its Mythos and Fable 5 models — a ban reportedly set in motion after Amazon’s CEO raised concerns with the Trump administration.
Complying with a Trump-administration export-control directive, Anthropic has suspended all foreign-national access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 — and disabled the models for everyone, including US users.
Anthropic has made Fable 5, the first commercial model from its advanced Mythos class, available to the public — while reserving the unrestricted Claude Mythos 5 for vetted cybersecurity partners.
The CIA’s ‘Ghost Murmur’ supposedly found a downed US airman by detecting his heartbeat from afar, but physicists say the heart’s magnetic field is far too weak to read at any distance.
Two decades after being ousted from PayPal, Elon Musk is launching X Money, a payments service inside X that analysts say could disrupt his old company and reshape US payments.
Elon Musk has called Bitcoin an ‘energy currency’ whose value is rooted in physics and electricity rather than government policy, and mused that AI and robots could one day make money itself obsolete.
Cisco has launched Cloud Control, a toolset that lets companies build their own armies of defender AI agents, a response to a world where cyberattacks increasingly come from swarms of hostile agents.
Chinese researchers say a nine-qubit quantum system beat a 10,000-node classical network at weather prediction for under 1% of the cost, a hint that compact quantum machines could undercut today’s giant AI data centres.
China has made ‘ciyuan’ the official translation for AI ‘token’, a move widely read as the seed of a token-based currency for the AI age, and a long-term challenge to the US dollar.
China has launched a state-backed space-computing institute in Beijing, taking its AI rivalry with the US into orbit just as SpaceX eyes a $75 billion listing to fund its own space data centres.
CATL and Changan have unveiled the world’s first mass-produced sodium-ion EV, a 248-mile car that keeps most of its range at minus 40C, a potential turning point away from lithium.
CATL is chasing lithium-air batteries with a theoretical energy density of 12,000 Wh/kg, roughly that of petrol, a leap that could obliterate the range gap between EVs and combustion cars.
MATT’S KEYNOTES & PANELS
WATCH 100’S OF TOP KEYNOTES . CHANGE YOUR WORLD VIEW .
I have the great privilege of speaking to leadership teams and their conference audiences about almost every topic including disruption, education, the future, geopolitics, innovation, leadership, technology, and much more, and I share as much of this as I can. Here you can play, pause, and rewind many of the sessions I’ve had the privilege of being involved with.
OPINION PIECES
LOVE THEM OR LOATHE THEM
Everyone has their own opinions on matters and I’m no different. I believe all opinions are important and have the right to be voiced, and firmly believe in the values of debate, diversity, and open mindedness, because being closed to any of these diminishes all of us in the long run. Here you can explore some of those opinions and points of view.
From corporate stablecoins to programmable CBDCs and AI-driven money, this is a look at how currency could soon move faster than regulators and slip beyond purely human control.
