@SkeeProfit Suspension not an option this case. Fine would have been acceptable. She purposely left the court for a fan confrontation. What would Adam Silver do in the exact same case? Likely a fine

@NancyMace This needs to happen in all levels of government, especially public schools

@SpotterBrett I’ll be in Murrells Inlet next week for my annual golf trip. Great time of year!

@josephperson Very uninspiring play calling from Idzik

@CoreyHeim_ Phenomenal

@FreddieKraft If we are really being honest this has been a problem for over 20 years.

@DerrickEvans4WV If the candidate supports Voter ID and can define a man versus woman they get my vote. Very sad that is the bar

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 Who enforces it, who gets held accountable, and what does accountability look like? Waste of time

@hornets Let’s Go!

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 @triciacotham City/County government as a whole is joke. Breaking up CMS is long overdue.

@BillAckman They are all organized by the same people. It is a machine against common sense and decency

Two men walked into Sir Edmond Halley’s Pub in Charlotte, NC on Sept 17th at around 10pm and snatched a picture off the wall that meant everything to the owner.

It’s him with his best friends. Not a trophy. Not a collectible. Just a piece of his life.

They made a quick getaway. The pub is asking for any help identifying them. If you have any information, please contact the pub directly.

Let’s help this business get the justice it deserves.

@HedgeyeDJ The Garmin watch is a game changer!

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.

You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.

I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.

But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.

Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.

Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.

So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.

If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

@DougKass @fundstrat Spot on, sir. Thank you for watching and exposing @cnbc for what it is. Also, the reason I’ve been a @hedgeye subscriber for years
