COMPANY OKLO PUBLIC VIA SPAC

Oklo, an advanced nuclear fission microreactor startup, is going public via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

The company plans to use the raised capital to ramp up its supply chain and procurement processes and for building a pilot scale production facility for its reactor. Artificial intelligence will demand a lot of energy if it scales up in the way Altman is predicting it will.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has shown encouraging results in clinical trials involving people addicted to various substances. The treatment has already been authorized in the US, Canada, and the EU as an aid for cigarette smokers trying to quit. Researchers are currently studying different forms of TMS that may be able to rewire the brain of people with addictions more effectively.

Apps like TikTok showed that an abundance of easily-discoverable content can be a powerful force.
