When the dust settles, I think it's time to talk about a Presidential Medal of Freedom for @MrAndyNgo.

No one was earlier, more dedicated, or more fearless in taking on the growing domestic terror threat. I wish he'd been listened to earlier.

isn't there a physics bottleneck here? pretraining a new frontier model takes weeks to months; even if AI picked a perfect new stack it would take some time before we'd start seeing new releases more fully driven by RSI

(which also means it will take longer to actually know if we've "achieved" rsi)

You can just have normal opinions about the Iran war and the Middle East:

You can think on balance the Iran war
wasn’t a good idea but also understand why it was reasonable for Trump to take the shot he did.

You can be pro-Israel and supportive of our business relationships with the Saudis and Emiratis while taking the position that the Islamic Republic is fundamentally a problem for them to solve and not us.

You can think all of these things without becoming unwell and losing focus on important domestic political objectives.

This is what "defending democracy" really means to folks like Zakaria - creating unaccountable elite-controlled institutions on all the key chokepoints of real power.

AI will become the most important technology of our age — too important for the kind of score-settling and personalized, unpredictable regulation we’ve seen from the Trump administration.

We should create a Fed for AI.

In direct response to my H-1B Visa fraud exposé:

“Don’t blame anyone if you or your son gets killed.”

I will not be threatened or scared into stopping my investigations.

They’re all going back.

If you look closely, many of the accounts that were anti-Trump in 2023 are now all shifting hard anti-Vance. The talking points have gone out. They’re activating the network that lost in Iowa 2024 for 2028. Good! This will be fun

We’ve learnt some bad news that Donny Strathie passed away in Boston on Sunday. He had a ticket for the Morocco game, but never got the chance to realize his World Cup dream.

It would mean a lot to his family if we could organise a minutes applause in the 76th minute of the Morocco game.

@Gormogons With 10, you could probably negotiate a trade for an aisle seat on the cheap.

If humans were to adopt monkey economics, we too could enjoy the luxury and wealth of monkey civilization.

@kenwheeler no babe I like them safeguarded, the mythos one scares me.

[Jeremy Howard @jeremyphoward]

I disagree with this decision and I don't like it.

But also...

HOW DID ANTHROPIC NOT SEE THIS COMING‽

It is *the* obvious response to "this is too dangerous for anyone except us to use", since that relies on a premise ("we are uniquely good") that almost no-one agrees with.

Bill Simmons: In terms of teammates with consecutive numbers on their jerseys, where do we rank Wemby and Harper with the #1 and #2 jerseys? You have to put McHale and Bird at the top spot with #32 and #33 right?

Joe House: I can't do this anymore. There has to be more to life

This baby with Down Syndrome is valuable and worthy of life.

Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.

0/24,000

A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.

Astronomically small probability of happening.

Impossible.

California no longer even hides it.

Doors need to be kicked in.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

All the same politicians who spoke of “rage” and “unspeakable fury” and forced a cultural revolution after George Floyd now demand “calm” and “no politicisation” after Henry’s murder.

The reason is simple.

George Floyd was black.

Henry Nowak was white.

We will not relent.

A Brooklyn landlord says he's trapped in a legal battle with a '9-year-squatter' over unpaid rent — and it's already drained his daughter's college fund. Thomas Diana estimates he's owed up to $325,000 while New York courts keep adjourning the case. The saga now stretches into its 10th year after another delay this April.

You think the Senate GOP couldn't be worse, but it looks like their only achievement will be to work overtime with the media and other Democrats to destroy any accountability for Democrat lawfare and censorship.
