The United States approach to nuclear energy is interesting, to say the least. Of all the countries harnessing the power of the atom, the United States is perhaps the most privatized nuclear energy system in the world. Most countries treat nuclear fission as a government affair — China runs its reactors through state-owned enterprises, and France went so far as to fully renationalize its main nuclear company in 2023. The States, meanwhile, leave their reactors almost entirely in the hands of the private sector.

Disciples of the free market will tell you this is exactly how things should be. If you don’t have a financial stake in the nuclear race, however, you might notice this arrangement comes with side effects like chronic understaffing and public subsidies of private profit. It also raises serious safety questions as a rising number of nuclear startups jostle for a piece of the atomic pie.

AI startup offers humans ‘perfect and infinite memory’, Harvard professor says
Engramme says it uses ‘large memory models’ to store memories indefinitely

A neuroscience professor claims to have developed an AI algorithm that endows humans with “perfect and infinite memory”.

Gabriel Kreiman, who researches artificial intelligence and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School, launched a startup last month in the hope of commercialising technology that he says will transform people’s cognitive capabilities.

He describes his work as a “fight against oblivion”, allowing memories to be stored indefinitely.

The idea is to use something called “large memory models” – a play on the large language model (LLM) coinage used for AI tools like ChatGPT – in order to retrieve data from a person’s digital life.

In a manifesto on the startup’s website, the founders claim the technology will reshape every profession – from medicine and law, to the arts and engineering.

AI isn’t killing music… it’s exposing how it’s always worked and finally giving power back to the creators.

For years the industry’s been a hidden machine. You hear a “star” but behind them is a whole ghost team: writers, producers, engineers. Most people couldn’t even name who actually made the song they love. Now suddenly AI shows up and everyone’s shouting “fake”? Nah… what’s fake is pretending the system was pure in the first place.

Here’s what AI really does:

It removes the gatekeepers.

You don’t need:
– a £5k studio
– a top producer charging crazy money
– a vocalist if you can’t sing
– a label to say you’re “allowed” in

If you’ve got ideas, melody in your head, lyrics in your soul… you can bring it to life yourself. That’s not cheating. That’s evolution.

And let’s be real… not everyone using AI is making fire. Same way not everyone with decks is a DJ. Skill didn’t disappear, it shifted.

Now skill is:
– your ear for music
– your vision
– how you direct the AI
– how you build a vibe people actually feel

Two people can use the same tool and one makes magic, the other makes noise. That tells you everything.

To the haters saying “it’s not real music”…
Was autotune real?
Were synths real?
Were DAWs real?

Every generation cries when the next tool arrives. Then a few years later… it becomes standard.

And producers / singers getting salty… this is where it gets uncomfortable:

You’re not obsolete. You’re just not the only route anymore.

Songwriters don’t need to sell their work and stay invisible.
Singers don’t need to wait to be picked.
Producers don’t control access to sound anymore.

Everyone can stay in their own lane and build something from scratch.

If anything, the best producers and singers will still win… because they’ll use AI to go even further, faster.

At the end of the day the listener decides.

If a track hits, connects, moves people… no one on a dancefloor cares how it was made. Energy doesn’t lie.

AI didn’t kill music.

It cut out the middle and handed the keys to anyone with vision.

Adapt or get left behind.
