Sen. Mitch McConnell confirms he’s on his way to the U.S. Senate floor to cast his first vote in more than 3 months.

Important. Anyone awake at the switch? Some national and international leadership on this would be nice….

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.

Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

We need leadership on this from the Administration. Now. @WhiteHouse

The value of customer service. Love all his stories.

In a diner, I accidentally asked the waitress for "power coffee."

I meant strong black coffee. My English failed me.

She didn't correct me. She yelled to the back: "ONE POWER COFFEE FOR THE SAMURAI!"

The cook banged a spatula on the grill in approval.

They brought me a mug the size of a bucket.

I have visited that diner every Tuesday for six months.

Last month, I arrived feeling defeated after a terrible week.

The waitress looked at my face, placed the giant mug on my table, and said softly, "Power coffee is on the house today, Samurai. Stand up straight."

I did not need a speech. I needed a mug and a title.

I stood up straight.

I needed to move a sofa.

I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"

I did not know anybody with a truck.

He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.

"You gotta know somebody with a truck."

I asked how one acquires such a person.

He said, "You just do."

This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.

He said, "Ask Kevin."

I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.

I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.

Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.

Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.

I had not asked for a second man.

The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.

They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.

I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.

I asked what I owed them.

Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."

That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.

Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.

We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.

Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."

I still think about that.

Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.

"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."

He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.

Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.

I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.

Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.

I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."

I have a guy.

I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.

He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."

I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

@PeterDiamandis I want to thank you for your generosity & foresight. In 2005, I was one of the first 15 teachers to experience microgravity on your G-Force One aircraft. I have shared that amazing experience with thousands of students since. I’m a fan of Moonshots and all of your endeavors. 🫡

Good morning, all! Thought I'd share a video I made celebrating Marjory’s Garden's 10-year Anniversary this weekend. Many of you have donated time, effort, money, and materials to this project over the years, and it is truly appreciated.

"The evils of capitalism:"

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

Artemis II has reached its maximum distance from Earth.

On the far side of the Moon, 252,756 miles away, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history and now begin their journey home. Before they left, they said they hoped this mission would be forgotten, but it will be remembered as the moment people started to believe that America can once again do the near-impossible and change the world.

Congratulations to this incredible crew and the entire NASA team, our international and commercial partners, but this mission isn’t over until they’re under safe parachutes, splashing down into the Pacific.

I tried my hand at creating a political cartoon… Take it how you will. #Venezuela

Rob Reiner was extremely compassionate about Charlie Kirk.

I do not agree with this man politically but just as he stated Charlie’s death was a tragedy , so was Rob and his wife’s 💔

People always talk about the brilliance of da Vinci’s “helicopter” and “tank”, but I think they pale in comparison to his Martian rover… 🤔 #AI #AprilFoolDay
