@subtopes Amazed at how easy it is to draw an analogy to the current President’ show of excessive reckless behavior with his metaphorical knee on the neck of America while we gasp #wecantbreathe

@JamesLucasIT This upside-down fig tree has grown in the ancient ruins of Baia in the city of Bacoli, Italy. The tree sprouted from the ceiling of the arch, and no one is sure how the tree ended up there or how it managed to survive. It grows every year and even bears fruit!

@BillAckman I admit your 1-Dimesional barage of misinformation has a certain urban folksy appeal …. But in all honesty, I’m much more interested in how much many apartments your private equity firms own.

@Acyn Such a fundamental misreading of not only our form of democratic governance … but his role of Speaker as having now morphed into that of a consigliere.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

"Software is going to become cheap. Maybe essentially free."

In a 32-minute Davos interview, he says the thing software companies don't want to hear.

When the tool costs nothing, the advantage goes to whoever is best at wielding it.

Watch the interview, then see the skill in the article below.

Save this.

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. government will decide who gets access to GPT-5.6

OpenAI will release GPT-5.6 only in a limited preview to a small group of partners.

Sam Altman told staff the government would be "approving access customer by customer."

Commerce Sec Lutnick personally called Altman warning: don't launch without approvals from other agencies.

A de facto licensing regime.

ITS HAPPENING
