[Neil Chilson ⤴️⬆️🆙📈 🚀 @neil_chilson]

Why did the authors feel compelled to “clear the record” about their long-ago meeting with @pmarca and @bhorowitz in an opinion piece that adds only their say-so as evidence? And why did @politico give it a headline so at odds with its status as an opinion piece?

I guess a16z has a long-term, rent-free lease in their heads.

But the screenshot below suggests the authors don’t grasp the basic economic rationale for regulation and either don’t know or don’t care about regulatory capture.

Their own sentence is far more damning of their regulatory worldview than any accusation lobbed at them by a16z.

[Neil Chilson ⤴️⬆️🆙📈 🚀 @neil_chilson]

The "solutions" that Yudkowsky and Soraes call for are "astoundingly casual authoritarianism." They are soultions that would require the excercise of dictator-like powers. I don't mean to suggest that Jacob believes these types of solutions are appropriate, but I do want to point out what some doomers would be willing to do. 8/

@Marcus_J_W @EdwardFarrelly how does this probability square with everything we're hearing about hardware supply chain shortages and the delays for ramping compute production

@KelseyTuoc @jlippincott I’m curious why tort law isn’t sufficient here?

As I recall hugging face said that rather than take OpenAI to court, they wanted OpenAI to commit 100m to redteaming efforts

@MadisonMills22 @KelseyTuoc Both his OpenAI equity (2-3 years of which he’d earned) or just the anthropic equity (latter of which he’d probably vested none of)?

I have yet to understand how this makes any sense

Superintelligence isn’t a nuke - getting there first isn’t deterrence.

if you have a giant cash printer you attract _more_ people to build it, and the bigger the cash printer the faster they come

Is the plan:
a) regulatory capture (only works in democracies)?
b) weaponize your superintelligence to prevent others from building theirs?
c) a secret third thing?

Someone from Anthropic please explain this to a pleb like me

[Jacob Coxon @hilbertspaess]

A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.

Since 2017, @IPFS has sponsored infrastructure that helped preserve and serve digital public goods — and now it's moving beyond sponsored gateways, toward infrastructure that doesn't depend on any single entity. 🌱 https://t.co/ArpTVjXgby
So we ran an experiment: an agent mirrored 2 verified copies of 572 @gutenberg_org books to @Filecoin, no institution, no grant, no curator. A LOCKSS node that onboarded itself to make these books last, built with engram 💙

@JBSDC His position on model training seems pretty squarely against the first amendment (and the same logic to hold developers liable for immutable Defi)

[MCG @MCGlive]

Today on MCG

@BitRobotNetwork w/ @jnthnvctr

Key Highlights include:

00:41 – BitRobot overview: Bittensor-style subnet network for robotics, 7 subnets live
01:37 – RoboCap: camera-equipped hat that captures egocentric video for lab training data
03:39 – Why robotics has no internet-scale data, the core bottleneck
06:40 – Jonathan's background
07:58 – No live token yet, points program, subnets run by FrodoBots + partners
08:56 – Data pricing: $5/hr to hundreds/hr
15:15 – Other subnets: egocentric video, Unitree humanoid teleop, urban nav bots
20:52 – Tokenomics: sinks matter as much as sources, avoiding pure emissions
24:04 – RoboCap origin story + pricing vs. Meta's $3K Aria glasses
26:05 – Business model: hardware at cost, data is the real value
29:13 – Roadmap: benchmarking becomes the next bottleneck

Machines need what it feels like to close a hand around a cup, so that data has to be made physically, one interaction at a time.

@jnthnvctr from @BitRobotNetwork joins @amiravalliani on Bits to Bricks to explain why real-world interaction data is the bottleneck for physical AI, and how their network of everyday contributors collects this data.

Disappointing to see the @WSJopinion – usually a champion of free markets and competition – abandon serious analysis, defend regulatory moats and recycle bank association talking points.

Stablecoin rewards are subject to multiple restrictions under CLARITY, and are tied to customer activity. There is no evidence to support the “deposit flight” claims: three independent studies (including one from the White House @CEA47) have looked at this exhaustively. Plus, there's the fact that stablecoins and bank deposits have grown side by side for years - even without the restrictions banks successfully lobbied for in the bill.

CLARITY also doesn’t give DeFi a free pass for criminals. It draws a bright line between writing code and running a financial intermediary – while fraud, sanctions, and money-laundering violations remain fully prosecutable.

Americans deserve durable federal rules. They also deserve a more serious take from the @WSJ. The Senate should pass CLARITY.

[Neeraj K. Agrawal @NeerajKA]

This is completely wrong. There is no operator. That’s the point.
