So the economy basically is, get people to pay into a pension and don't guarantee their payout.
The charge 2% to manage that money and buy up hard assets.
14 yo asked me if I thought NYC would do well under Mamdani. I told him that he seems well-meaning and not stupid, and that if the experience of trying to compete with grocery stores' margins teaches him about economics, he could be good.
Just shared some changes we’re making to the teams at @GoogleDeepMind.
@DemisHassabis is stepping up to become Chair of @GoogleDeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet, in addition to leading @IsomorphicLabs. He’ll be able to dedicate his time and focus on shaping the future of AGI and scientific discovery. It’s work that is vitally important to Alphabet and humanity, and I can’t imagine a better person than Demis to do it. He’ll stay closely connected to Koray and the GDM teams.
@Koraykv will become the SVP, @GoogleDeepMind, responsible for all aspects of model development, GDM research, and @Geminiapp & dev teams. Koray has been at GDM for 13 years and is a world-renowned expert in the field, starting our deep learning team and driving breakthroughs like WaveNet & DQN. GDM is in great hands!
Excited for this next chapter. You can read my note along with the message Demis sent to @GoogleDeepMind here: https://t.co/mvsvrDUai7

Clearest explanation of the rationale of the US intervention in the Yen market, which is weakening as Japan is an energy importer.
It's to stop the largest foreign holder of US Treasuries to sell them to protect their own weakening currency, which has been weakening the dollar and increasing bond yields.
I’ve been working towards AGI my whole life, and as we enter this pivotal moment, I’m stepping into a new role as Chair of Google DeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet. This will allow me to focus on long-term strategy, and accelerating scientific breakthroughs, including leaning into my work at Isomorphic to help cure disease.
I’m excited that @koraykv will be stepping up to lead GDM as SVP, alongside @joshwoodward and our exec team. I could not be more excited and confident about our amazing next chapter! 🚀

@mcuban It's the key point with regards to all fiscal spending, especially in Western democracies.
We talk about allocating more to defence and healthcare, without auditing whether we are getting value for money.
The Trump Administration delivers for America's trusted partners. Economic security is national security. And the U.S.-Japan alliance is built on both.
Friday's coordinated foreign exchange actions countered disorderly yen movements.
Treasury remains attentive and in close communication with our counterparts at MOF and BOJ. We will not hesitate to participate in further joint intervention.
The FIMA Repo Facility is an important backstop. We would encourage it to be upsized in the coming months.
We strongly support Japan's decisive market and monetary steps to correct the substantial undervaluation of the yen.
The Takaichi government is moving into an exciting new phase of Abenomics, as nearly 15 years of powerful stimulus have created durable, robust underlying economic dynamics.
