Day 1 of 5. Meeting 1 of 73 on my calendar π«£.
All in on AI for Earth. For people and planet.
Let's do this.

#Greenland is more than real estate and geopolitics β itβs a place of extraordinary beauty, importance and remarkable people. I visited in 2014 for a climate event and am now releasing my photos as CC-BY to support journalists and independent storytellers.

My message at Davos next week:
When facts fracture and narratives collide, when nature bites back, when trust between governments breaks overnight and global sentiment feels like quicksand⦠the boldest acts of global leadership will be planetary awareness.

What if AI is neither as good nor bad, AND much simpler, to understand. Selling a balanced view is harder, digesting complexity into simplicity even more.
On why Google "Earth AI" shows their geo moat is getting weaker. www.linkedin.com/posts/nasonu...
AWS outage in us-east-1 disrupted many "European" services. Read that slowly.
LPT: Remember to listen to more music.
Todayβs a big day for our team at LGND AI, Inc.. Weβve raised $9M to help make Earth data accessible and useful for developers, enterprises, individuals, and AI. techcrunch.com/2025/07/10/l...
I had this random idea to create a compression algorithm that skips words that an AI can deterministically predict, both exactly or similar ones.
3 minutes later with Gemini.
Famous texts, or sections, compress to ZERO size (memorization), and always better than zip.
Golden rule of backups: You don't really have a full backup until you check a full restore.
One of the hardest 10min talks I've given. Not just because I managed to close it paraphrasing the poet Rumi, but because I decided to live my words that "data doesn't change the world, stories do". So it's just me, telling a story. A story of #AIforEarth www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
Picture the 100s of ships inbound to the USA for like 20 days. Every day their cargo's worth changes massively with tariffs. A daily $100b gamble at US ports.
Trump: "These countries are calling us up. Kissing my ass."
I'm not sure instant messaging is a good thing anymore. Since I've deleted Whatsapp I sometimes miss easily connecting with family and friends, but mostly feel more relaxed and focused. Some friction helps quality.
18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want β yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

Only me, or other have too seen a huge peak of advanced phishing? Personalized, and from much wider attach surface (spoofed emails, spoofed content, * GH CNAMES, ... It's driving me paranoic.
Los vascos son otra cosa.
Mobile-first became cloud-first... which aligns with SaaS and ads-based Internet. What if we did local-first? Would you pay more for apps that don't need internet (but can sync and collaborate)?. E.g. Obsidian, Git, Desktop email apps, ... localfirstweb.dev
Who will fill the international leadership vacuum as America retreats? EU? China? Billionaires?
Corporations?
NASA did a feature on me last year. It was up this weekend but now when you click on the link you get a 404 message.
Gracias! Esto es mΓ‘s para por ejemplo cuando el camarero o dependiente piensa que estΓ‘ borracha o tiene problemas cognitivos, y lo ΓΊnico que requiere es paciencia porque tiene ataxia y habla despacio: "no me ignores, solo dame un minuto extra, que tengo problemas de hablar, no cognitivos".
Mi tΓa tiene una #enfermedadesraras que hace que hable y se mueva lento. Es muy frustrante que la obvien o tener que explicarlo cada vez, asΓ que creamos esta web: Pones la explicaciΓ³n, imprimes el cΓ³digo QR, y lo enseΓ±as a quien te atiende. Si podΓ©is probarlo, agradecemos comentario. qr-card.org
WSJ quotes me saying that AI has changed so much... yet so little helping us understand Earth. We created Clay to be the best model as a non-profit. Yet, the best model needs the rest of the rocket to get places. So we created LGND to re-imagine how we understand Earth. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/arti....
Many thanks to all the invited speakers for contributing to the program!

TikTok ban might happen Sunday due to concerns of foreign interference... so now all kiddos are downloading "xiaohongshu" (aka "RED"), a fully Chinese TikTok alternative app. Already full of videos from Americans.... giving china direct access to American youth at scale. π€¦
