Beijing is investing billions into a national AI fund and its broader AI+ initiative to embed artificial intelligence across the entire economy.

(IMO, it already happened.)
And one of the examples is these 2 news items I read today: 1) Alibaba unveils Qwen3.5 as China s chatbot race shifts to AI agents
2) and this one is even more important: Alibaba has launched RynnBrain, an open-source AI model designed to power robots that can see, think, and act in real-world environments.

Everywhere else I look podcasts, social media, even casual discussions longevity is a hot topic. Bryan Johnson, for example, shows up in my feed constantly.
For me, health-tech feels like the most valuable thing we could be building. Not just extending life expectancy, but actually improving quality of life.
