Greetings from Thailand (Ko Samui to be exact). Combing business with pleasures, as a result, the mind candy will become more irregular over the next few two weeks.
Today’s topics to consider are wearables, exotic proteins, the techno-Industrial revolution, growing chickpeas in moondust, holotiles, AI girlfriends, mixed reality, miniature VR goggles for mice and artificial spider glands.
Combine prompt 6 and 7.
Have a great day.
- How will wearables evolve in 2024?
The wearables market is no longer confined to the realms of smartwatches and earwear. We are already seeing the rise of specialized devices
- Scientists Coax Bacteria Into Making Exotic Proteins Not Found in Nature
If you could encode the expanded set of building blocks in the same way that we can proteins, then we could turn cells into living factories for the encoded synthesis of polymers for everything from new drugs to materials
- The Techno-Industrial Revolution
https://www.google.com/search?
Techno-Industrials use technology to build atoms-based products with structurally superior unit economics with the ultimate goal of winning on cost in large existing markets, or expanding or creating new markets where there is pent-up demand.
- Chickpeas grown in moon dust for the first time

A whisper of comfort in life’s symphony, endlessly nurturing, eternally caring.
- It’s Getting Harder To Distinguish Between Reality And Delusion, Thanks To Technology
As technological capabilities have changed rapidly over the past several years, it has become harder to draw the line between a reality-based belief and a delusional one
