Fantastic read.

Our new Epsilon Theory Unplugged series on @Panoptica_ai is🔥. This latest piece by @KrisAbdelmessih on Leo's fall is, unsurprisingly, fantastic. Ken "Mordecai" Griffin, the Kelly Criterion, the perfect murder, & that timeless Achilles' heel, hubris. https://t.co/VzqOPFGnXY

Argentina es la parte de la latinidad que los latinos odian.

Porque Argentina se la cree, se crece, mira a otros por encima del hombro, y al latino le enseñaron a agachar la cabeza, a aceptar la humillación como humildad.

Hey @elonmusk, it would mean the world to Venezuelans if you could enable Starlink during this tragedy our country is facing after the earthquake. 🙏🇻🇪

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.

OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?

A thread on some of of our findings:

Everyone invoking principles needs to understand it’s all tribal.

Democrats were for pushing Starlink to help with Biden’s military, but against pushing Anthropic to help with Trump’s military.

Anthropic is for copying data when it trains their models, and against when it comes to Chinese distillation attacks on their models.

Republicans were against state power when Democrats were using it to make everything woke, and for state power when Republicans are using it for MAGA.

I mean, duh! This is all completely rational. It is as rational as being for a gun that’s in your hands, and against a gun that’s pointed in your face.

That said, recognizing tribal reality doesn’t mean being against cooperation, or even against principles.

You can cooperate within tribes. And you can even cooperate between tribes. You just have to understand what tribe you’re in and what tribe you’re dealing with.

You can also have principles. But recognize that the only principles that survive natural selection are those that generate collective strength for a tribe over time.

Once you know your tribe, and you know their tribe, and your principles, and their principles…you can propose a true win/win deal that satisfies both tribes’ interests.

Just don’t imagine that their tribe will foolishly agree to unilaterally lose because of your tribe’s (selectively invoked!) principle.

Because if following the rule leads them to lose, what use is the rule?

Must-read article!

Brilliant article by @profplum99 - I don’t think this could have been articulated anyway possibly better.

Great work!

🧵El ultimátum cobra aún más fuerza ante la ingenuidad de la tiranía de pretender que Estados Unidos les creería una vez más.

Si aplicamos teoría de juegos al contexto actual venezolano (19/11/25), especialmente desde la declaración del Departamento de Estado del 16/11 y lo revelado por EFE anoche 18/11, los resultados no son NADA alentadores para la tiranía.

Cuando aparece la posibilidad REAL de una intervención militar externa, los incentivos dentro de un sistema totalitario cambian por completo.
Lo que antes era un juego de resistencia política se convierte en un juego de supervivencia.

Ya ni las estadísticas ni las matemáticas favorecen al sistema. Y cuando digo al sistema hablo de todos: el tirano, los narcotraficantes, los títeres políticos-empresariales-académicos-gremiales, y todo aquel que hoy favorezca su interés por encima de un bien común llamado libertad.

Cultures are neither equal nor indistinguishable. Cultural relativism (a parasitic idea) coupled with suicidal empathy eradicates this obvious reality. It is a form of lobotomy that immobilizes people from stating that they do not wish to host people who hail from cultures that are antithetical to their foundational values. This simple reality is destroying the West.

Completely agree with this take.

An ER Nurse, as one example of many, lives a more heroic life than almost every VC (or any other member of the laptop class). But it’s easier to post engagement bait than confront that reality

By almost all important measures, the world is a better place to live today than at any other time in human history.

[Javier Gonzalez @Javigzx]

Agree with this take. They’re rushing everything for no good reason. I feel the same about Doge btw. I like the idea in general but the implementation can be better.

[Avi @AviFelman]

Trump misplayed his hand here.

The best way to approach tariffs and fights with other nations would have been one by one.

Each individual country has a hard time standing up to the US, but Trump decided to pick a fight with *everyone* all at once for some inexplicable reason.

[Chinese Embassy in US @ChineseEmbinUS]

If the U.S. truly wants to solve the #fentanyl issue, then the right thing to do is to consult with China by treating each other as equals.

If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.

Let's bootstrap from our lil quant biz with shittier hardware, let people use it for free, open source it all and make 85% profit margin with the cheapest API

it's interesting that 1.5 billion parameters is all you need to crush math competitions, but you need like 15 trillion to make the model be funny

maybe humor is the right measure of true intelligence

Since everyone is trying to rewrite history, I as Tacitus, keeper of the crypto a[n]nals, will tell you the an alternative history of USDC. Once upon a time Circle looked upon USDT and thought, “damn, those guys over there are making a shit ton of money”.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

Folks, I think we really need to be clear about what happened today.

No, Trump and Vance didn't just go into this meeting with Zelensky as an ambush. Trump sounded very, very nice at the beginning. He hoped Zelensky was ready to sign a good deal.

Zelensky was then grandstanding in front of the media and demanding a U.S. security guarantee for any peace with Russia to happen. Basically, he lied. He got into the Oval and started sounding off.

Trump and Vance were insulted - on behalf of the USA - and acted accordingly.

Zelensky's gone now.

THAT'S what happened. This is how you handle these things. You don't let it slide. Good on Trump and Vance.
