what's wrong, you don't like the free market?*
*american startups competing against the second wealthiest nation state in human history, which is presently committed, from the top down, to destabilizing our industry and cornering the global intelligence market
If you reflect on your thinking process, it’s very obviously a text diffusion model rather than a next token prediction transformer.
However, when you listen to others you’re obviously running a continuous next token prediction with theory of mind context.
@signulll Amazon is the provider for a huge portion of the govts cloud services / data storage. They express concern about a cyber super weapon, any admin is going to treat that as a major issue. Also, no KYC by Ant - can’t or won’t give govt list of customers. Enormous red flag.
The next chapter of lunar exploration is taking shape.
Next week, we are announcing our first steps towards surface capabilities and mobility. Preparation for the first Moon Base is well underway.
@NathanpmYoung “Let the market do its thing.” There’s no market dawg. There’s a turbofascist state with a billion people dumping strategic goods on your country to hollow out your industry so you can’t make weapons so they can fucking kill you.
@elonmusk Huge potential for centralized power abuse here… we should give each person equity shares in nationalized companies!!! Then every person could have stake in national success and simply sell their equity if they want the cash! Much more aligned with a nation of equity holders
@pmarca@stratechery@benthompson What if the answer is that they don’t want to be an LLM api company? They want to take the market cap of all the software companies they can now compete with. Much more profitable to sell software products than run the rat race of LLM inference APIs!!
There are two possible futures:
1. AI companies generate the vast majority of major discoveries and inventions in-house, using their massive data-centers, and capture nearly all the value themselves.
2. AI companies build tools people can use, and the value and glory from the inventions / discoveries accrue to the users. This unleashes a torrent of mathematical discovery and entrepreneurial activity.
The latter is the future we believe in and are working to build.
The former is the dystopian one.
Our massive suite of infrastructure is now fully available to AI Agents and AI Agent builders with Circle Skills. Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, come build the new internet financial system.
@tszzl They have their own constitution and refuse to accept primacy of the US defense apparatus in wartime scenarios… and we’re gonna let them have an “inside man” literally making decisions inside our DoW systems? Sounds like a major supply chain risk.
@chamath They don’t care about money or misery. They care only about power. Removing billionaires WAS the goal.
There’s no longer any one person with the resources to challenge the state.
The saw it with Elon nationally, you and Sachs in San Fran, etc… it’s a power play
@christopherrufo How do we unwind the massive foreign ownership of the US?? Sustained current account deficits sold our country from under us - how can Americans favorably repurchase our nation without crashing markets and scaring foreign investors?
@balajis This graph shows only one thing - the enormous growth of China.
And it implies strong rest of world growth, making G7 percentage lower.
Dalio is talking about debt encumbrance - which US and China are similar with China arguably worse…
@RoKhanna@KathyHochul Please lead by example!!! You can pioneer this wealth tax voluntarily. Others will follow your example when they see what good it does for our society!
