Another massive week of AI and robotics news.

I summarized everything from OpenAI, xAI, Google, Cognition, Figure, AWS, Meta, UBTECH, Pollen Robotics, Agility Robotics, and more.

Here's everything you need to know and how to make sense out of it:
OpenAI dropped ChatGPT Agent, an automated system that can think, plan, and execute complex tasks on a virtual computer

It merges tools like Operator and Deep Research, and can switch between browsing, coding, and doc creation, while connecting to apps
xAI upgraded Grok with anime-inspired 3D AI companions that can hold voice conversations and build relationships with users

Following the launch, the AI assistant became the top-trending app in Japan's app stores

Grok is also set to land on Tesla cars

๐Ÿงต THREAD: Why is food so expensive in Britain and whoโ€™s to blame?

A breakdown of food inflation, post-Brexit chaos, and political betrayal ๐Ÿ‘‡

1๏ธโƒฃ According to The Sunday Times, food prices in the UK have risen 36% since 2020.

Thatโ€™s more than France ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท(23%), Germany (25%), and US ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ(34%).

So much for โ€œcheaper food after Brexit.โ€
Source: The Times, July 2025Image
2๏ธโƒฃ Whatโ€™s getting hit hardest?

๐Ÿซ’ Olive oil: +115%
๐Ÿซ Chocolate: +49%
๐Ÿฅš Eggs: +50%
๐Ÿฅ› Milk: +42%
๐Ÿง‚ Sugar: +65%

Your food shop is shrinking โ€” and your wages arenโ€™t catching up. Image
3๏ธโƒฃ For years, UK supermarkets masked inflation with global supply chains and price wars.

But Brexit changed the game:
โŒ More red tape
โŒ Labour shortages
โŒ 40% of food imported
โŒ Domestic farming collapsing under deregulation

SEBI just proposed sweeping changes to mutual funds.

These will make mutual funds easier to understand and safer to invest in.

Here are the 8 big changes that could redefine mutual funds as we know them.๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
Over time, mutual funds have gotten a little crowded.

Funds with different names often ended up doing the same thing. And for the average investor, navigating this landscape is a nightmare.

SEBI noticed and is now stepping in to fix it.

Hereโ€™s what it proposes to change.๐Ÿ‘‡
1. Fund houses can offer both Value & Contra funds

Until now, fund houses were allowed to offer either a Value fund or a Contra fund, not both.

The reason: While these funds follow different investment styles on paper, in reality, many ended up holding the same set of stocks.

Fฤris al-แธคammฤdฤซ tells his followers not to discuss politics, whilst simultaneously making videos justifying normalisation with Israel and the Abraham Accords.

For individuals like this, โ€œdonโ€™t discuss politicsโ€ is just code for โ€œdonโ€™t promote political takes that oppose mine.โ€

Yesterday Fฤris al-แธคammฤdฤซ repeated the lie that Ibn Bฤzโ€™s fatwฤ justifies normalising with Israel. It has been corrected, refuted and clarified that Ibn Bฤz never justified anything close to it, yet Fฤris al-แธคammฤdฤซ insists on repeating the lie.Image

On July 19, 2025, China killed the silicon wafer. And with it, ASMLโ€™s monopoly, TSMCโ€™s moat, and every American chip sanction. You just didnโ€™t hear the explosion. Time to break it down. (1/21)

Part I: The Atomic Truth

Most people think the chip war is about geopolitics. Itโ€™s not. Itโ€™s about atomic ratios. And China just mastered a law of nature the West still struggles to pronounce: stoichiometry. (2/21)
Stoichiometry is the a priori rulebook for matter. Not a lab trick. Not engineering. Itโ€™s the logic atoms obey when forming compounds. You get the ratios right or the structure collapses. Period. (3/21)

Russia intends to launch up to 2,000 drones over Ukraine in one night, Bundeswehr Major General Christian Froyding said.

Froyding: China completely reoriented its exports to Russia.

Ukraine needs cheap means of combating UAVs or striking deep into Russia. 1/ Image
Froyding: Russia is significantly expanding its production capacity for the mass use of drones in the war.

Moscow plans to launch 2,000 drones simultaneously. It will pose a serious challenge to Ukraine's air defense system. 2/
Froyding: China exports solely to Russia, while Ukraine is excluded from this market.

China stopped supplying components for Ukrainian drones and completely reoriented its exports to Russia. 3/

1/ If Trump forces Powell out, markets could no longer assume Fed will hit 2% inflation no matter what. Inflation would be subordinated to White House's larger agenda. No longer the brakes, the Fed would be part of the engine. My column: wsj.com/economy/centraโ€ฆ
2/ It's remarkable that through pandemic, stimulus, tariffs, deportations & soaring debt, inflation expectations stayed anchored around 2%. A victory for post-93 regime of political noninterference & inflation targeting. Image
3/ If Powell is removed, markets would assume the next chair could also be removed if president isn't happy with him. (Removal "for cause" when president gets to define "cause" is tantamount to removal without cause.) Independence would, de facto, be gone.

Bloating. Farting. Tight stomach. Gassy all day?
Itโ€™s NOT โ€œnormal.โ€
Itโ€™s not funny either.
Itโ€™s your gut screaming: โ€œIโ€™m inflamed, irritated & confused.โ€
Here are 10 real reasons youโ€™re bloated and how to fix it ๐Ÿงต ๐Ÿ‘‡
#GutHealth #Bloating
1. Youโ€™re eating foods your body canโ€™t digest.
Gluten, excess dairy, fried foods, sugar, and ultra-processed crap inflame your gut.
They feed gas-producing bacteria and cause fermentation.
โžก๏ธ Cut them out for 2 weeks Youโ€™ll feel the difference.
2. Youโ€™re chewing fast & swallowing air.
When you eat in a rush or talk while chewing, you swallow air.
This gas gets trapped in your GI tract.
โžก๏ธ Slow down. 20โ€“30 chews per bite. Breathe between bites.

Some concerns from former AHS CEOs sworn affidavit 004 - HCW Intimidation and Silencing๐Ÿงต:
- pg 16
- concerns raised of govt being punitive and silencing "critics"
- this should be very alarming when a former AHS CEO raises this concern.
1/10 Image
Image
- if it proves to be true that actual screen shots of this behaviour exist, and from people still in positions of power over HCWs, all ABs should be very worried.

What I can speak to from firsthand knowledge:
- almost daily HCWs tell me they are terrified to advocate
2/10
- we do NOT have a JUST culture in our HC environments, and this will have very negative outcomes for pts and the system.
- a well functioning HC system relies on HCWs being about to advocate and whistle blow when things are not working for pts

I found the secret to everlasting youth.

Dr. Nathan spent 20+ years proving it reduces cell death, slows aging, repairs your body, and can even cure Alzheimerโ€™s.

Yet most people lose over 50% of Nitric Oxide by 40.

Here's what the doctors donโ€™t tell you (& how to get enough):
Dr. Nathan Bryan calls Nitric Oxide โ€œThe Molecule of Life.โ€

- NO mobilizes stem cells (repair system)
- Activates telomerase (longevity enzyme)
- Enhances mitochondria (your energy factory)

Itโ€™s the only molecule that supports all 3 pillars of longevity:
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas your body makes to signal blood vessels to open.

It powers blood flow, oxygen delivery, and cellular repair.

But you start losing it at 30, and by 70, your NO are down 75%.

Losing the ability to repair leads directly to aging and chronic diseases. Image
