US is choking its own AI industry

first mythos & fable suspended

now GPT-5.6 in limited preview only

meanwhile china is dominating with open-weight models kimi, GLM-5.2 & qwen 3.7

[Beff (e/acc) @beffjezos]

Everyday the admin holds back American frontier models is a day the chinese models gain market share and customer trust.

This will be unbelievably damaging to the American economy overall.

CLIs are the new UIs

[Nathan Barnes @NathanJBarnes]

Dev/programmer friends, are you ready for when AI codes everything in binary and all the coding languages will no longer exist?

It's not just the job that will be taken over by AI, AI is making the tools obsolete.

It seems that a surprising amount of startup success comes from being emotionally stable for slightly longer than everyone else.

@beffjezos It's bad in Australia. Can't try to be successful without people trying to cut you down here 😩

FIRE!

[@levelsio @levelsio]

My strategy is and has been the same for the last 10+ years

Don't spend, but save up everything, invest it, and try live off the 4% returns

4% is the "safe withdrawal rate", this is the percentage of your investment portfolio you can withdraw each year without running out of money over a given time horizon, as in your balance stays the same even after inflation

I have many friends who spend most of their money on expensive purchases of things tha depreciate in value (and I too have a Tesla Y that does that 😂) but if you do that you'll never get to any state of FIRE (retire early) where you can live off of your investments

Many people in FIRE have relatively humble goals: $600K means $2,000/mo from your investments to live off forever, multiply that and $6M means $20,000/mo forever

There's obviously caveats: do investments like ETFs keep returning forever or not, nobody knows. Diversifying your investments into other things like commodities (gold), real estate, and some angel investing also can work!

The point is to spend less, invest more and then spend from what you take out of your investments

Here I am trying to grow Australia's electricity generation 😫

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

The nation that can generate the most electricity will be able to run the biggest data centers.

The nation that runs the biggest data centers will train the smartest AI models.

And the nation with the smartest AI models will be the global military superpower.

@beffjezos Got my gf hooked on vibe coding so I could build all weekend

[Nathan Barnes @NathanJBarnes]

@beffjezos I just locked in for 12 hours across 4 projects and it was easy. Fun even. I built more in 1 work day than my developers have in 1 year.
