Three-Dollar Physicist

Robot brains got more than twice as good for about a third of the price in eight weeks, and an AI agent solved 49 of 50 brand-new physics problems at under three dollars each. A hundred and eight seconds on what that opens for anyone who knows how real work goes, with the founder at the front and back, every statement stamped, and three episodes of Moonshots news in the ticker.

The Protected Edge

Live at Moonshots Live 2026, the man who runs the moonshot factory explains why everyone picks the one-in-a-hundred billion and no board on Earth allows it, how two thousand code-named projects became barely fifty graduates, why clean water stalled at ten…

  • VERIFIEDSeeds of the AI AgeToday's AI boom began as a tiny, unfashionable experiment inside Google's lab, back when neural networks were considered dead.
  • VERIFIEDThe Penny-a-Liter WallMore than two billion people lack safely managed drinking water. The lab keeps trying; its best fix still costs ten times too much.
  • VERIFIEDThe Billion-Dollar DareA thought experiment executives always fail: everyone wants the long-shot billion, but no boss on Earth will let them try.

How we read the news

A lead is not a fact.

A podcast, a press release, a founder on a stage — that is a lead. It becomes verified only when a named, dated primary source says it: the paper, the filing, the agency, the company's own document. Everything else stays in, wearing its label. We love the tape; we fix the date.

Find an error we missed and we will pin the correction with your name on it. Corrections · Standards

  • VfVERIFIED
    A named, dated primary source says it: the paper, the filing, the agency, the company's own document.
  • CxCORRECTION
    The tape said one thing; the record says another. We keep the fix on screen, beside the claim it corrects.
  • SrSELF-REPORTED
    The company's own claim about itself, not yet checked by anyone else.
  • GsGUESS
    Someone's forecast or back-of-envelope conversion. Interesting, labelled, not a fact.
  • UvUNVERIFIABLE
    We looked and found no record that could hold it. It stays in, wearing this label.
  • HoHOUSE
    The garden's own voice: a thesis, a closing thought, an opinion that looks like one.
