We’re starting (adding) a new chapter! @stanford here we come…. 💻
For me, the year has always felt like it runs September to September. Something about the seasons changing into fall makes it feel like a natural reset….
Looking back, this last year has been a big one. It started with me flying to SF to interview Mark Zuckerberg. From there, focusing on expanding and growing my Talk Tech with Tiff podcast (on quality interview trying to release max one a month…) sitting down with thought leaders like Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella, Eliot Horowitz, and many others.
Outside of the podcast, life also changed in a big way: end of May we welcomed our baby boy, who by the way is coming with me on his first trip to San Francisco today (wish me luck travelling haha). Starting him early in tech, I guess.
I also focused more on public speaking, expanded our YouTube deep dives, and took on consulting with some of the biggest tech companies in the world.
And before I found out I was pregnant, I had actually started graduate studies that I ended up putting on hold. That time away made me realize how much I wanted to keep pushing myself, so I applied to Stanford and I’ll now be starting my graduate studies in AI & ML next week! I will be studying remotely of course but can’t wait for this next chapter and to share my learnings with you alll. I deciddd to do this because I talk a lot about these topics and consult on them… why not continue to gain as much education on them as I can?
I don’t know exactly how we’ll balance it all, but that’s kind of how things have always gone: we just figure it out.
Here’s to what’s next 🥂
This blew my mind… your phones GPS finds you using time, not maps.
When you open Google Maps, you might think satellites are sending down your location. But they don’t send maps at all. They send time signals… precise atomic-clock timestamps. So how does your phone turn those timestamps into your exact spot on Earth?
Here is how it works.. your phone measures how long each satellite’s signal took to arrive.
Since signals travel at the speed of light, even a delay of a few billionths of a second means you’re thousands of meters closer to one satellite than another.
By turning those times into distances, your phone draws invisible spheres around each satellite.
Where those spheres overlap… That’s your location. With at least four satellites, it locks in your latitude, longitude, and altitude with meter-level accuracy.
And it only works because those satellites carry atomic clocks so precise they drift about a billionth of a second per day. Think about it: if the timing was off by just one microsecond, your GPS would be hundreds of meters wrong.

Your company is probably running AI tools right now that nobody has approved, nobody is tracking and nobody can fully explain. That’s Shadow AI.
I found the people on the floor at Knowledge26 who are solving it.
A Director of Security & Risk put it plainly, the same thing that happened with cloud adoption is happening with AI. Everyone moves fast and suddenly nobody knows what’s running or what it’s costing.
And when a new CEO walks in and asks where the money is going, you better have an answer.
Without visibility into every agent running in your organization you don’t. And ungoverned agents make their own decisions.
That’s the problem the AI Control Tower was built for. 👀

A little bit of this and that from Vegas! I met so many wonderful people this week. We would often get lost in conversation and forget to take a photo but they’re the ones who made the week truly special!!
Scientists just figured out how to skip one of the most expensive steps in cancer treatment.
CAR-T therapy works by engineering your own immune cells to hunt tumors. The problem? It takes weeks in a lab and can cost $400K+.
In vivo CAR-T skips the lab entirely. One injection. Lipid nanoparticles find your T cells and deliver the instructions directly and then your body does the rest.
We are so early on this, but this could make personalized cancer treatment accessible, not just possible!!

We talk about AI like it’s one thing but it’s not. Inside most companies right now there are hundreds of AI tools running and nobody has a full picture of any of it.
I just found out that @ServiceNow runs over 450 internally! And they have eyes on every single one with the AI Control Tower.
Most companies can’t say that… so I had to find out how. Come with me for some on the ground conversations.

Humanoids are no longer science fiction. They’re being built right now, and we went inside the factory making it happen.
📸Some stills from our latest video covering the @1x.technologies Neo Factory! When we set out to create this video, I wanted it to feel like the viewer was not only taken along the journey of the process, but could really understand after watching what the future holds for us living amongst humanoids.
Diamond sounds like the last thing you’d want in a computer chip.
It doesn’t conduct electricity at all but it conducts heat better than almost any material on Earth.
That combination of the insulator and heat conductor is something silicon can never be. AND it’s exactly what chips need.
The thing I found really fascinating is how quickly we are moving on this. There’s a company in Japan building the world’s first diamond semiconductor factory. It opens this year.

How do you contain something 10 times hotter than the core of the sun? 🌟
You don’t…. Instead you make it float.
Superconducting magnets force the plasma into a spiraling loop that never touches the walls. No material on earth could survive contact with it so it never makes contact.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems just installed the first of 18 magnets in a machine designed to do exactly this. First plasma is expected next year.
