@elonmusk Speaking of wine, when are we going to have the option for red leather in @Tesla interiors?

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

I think it’s time to revisit the accredited investor laws in the US.

Companies are staying private longer, where only accredited investors (aka rich people!) can invest. Retail investors can only come in after IPO, when much of the upside has already been captured.

These rules were created with the best of intentions, to protect regular people from scams - a noble idea. Unfortunately, in practice they've often made it illegal to get richer, unless you're already rich. A regressive tax!

We have to judge policies based on their outcomes, not on their intentions.

These are two possible routes I see:

1) Replace the rule with something merit-based, like a financial literacy test. Pass it and you're accredited. Having a qualification based on competency rather than your bank balance or income seems far more fair.

2) Remove the rule entirely. Let consenting adults assess their own risk. Disclosure requirements stay and fraud enforcement stays to punish bad actors.

Two days ago the US banned Claude Fable 5.

Yesterday China dropped GLM 5.2.

Today GLM 5.2 is #1 on @bridgebench BS at 100.0, and #1 on Reasoning at 42.8, beating Fable 5.

At 1/10th the cost and 300 tokens per second.

You cannot export control your way out of an open source race.

The ban didn't slow China down.

Unban Fable 5.

I sent this letter to the Editor-in-Chief of Toxicology Reports demanding a full explanation for the removal of a published article examining vaccines and sudden infant death.

Americans have a right to know why scientific papers are removed, who made those decisions, what evidence supported them, and whether the same standards are applied consistently.

We will restore trust in public health by insisting on transparency, accountability, and open scientific inquiry—not by asking the public to accept decisions behind closed doors.

@HouseDemocrats Shut up until you run an actual primary. Democrats haven’t ran a legitimate primary since 2008 let the people choose

[Patrick Reardon @RReardonT]

@HunterBiden The Dems haven’t ran a legitimate primary since 2008….

[Patrick Reardon @RReardonT]

@mcuban Agreed

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.

And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.

One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.

Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.

If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.

Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.

Alternatively

There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.

To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.

It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)

Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.

Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up

But

They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks

Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.

@RoKhanna @BernieSanders Remember when Elon said he’d write q check to end world hunger it just had to be total open accounting and then they never accepted?

[Patrick Reardon @RReardonT]

@AOC The goverment steals via taxes and inflation and still can’t figure out healthcare, it’s the most broken in the world in the US

[Patrick Reardon @RReardonT]

@RoKhanna Yeah I don’t think I can think of a single thing the government does on its own that’s in any way efficient

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

@GavinNewsom Yeah…the guy employing tens of thousands of people and providing goods and services for hundreds of millions of people is “rigging the system” but the guy who has blown billions on scam projects is our “defender” …ok Gav.

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice.

You thought it was you. It is not you.

Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse.

Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like.

The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation.

Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the "tails of the distribution." The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first.

What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland.

Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved.

They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data.

The lead researcher put it plainly. "Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment."

The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible.

This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis.

The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world.

Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

@peter_szilagyi I’ve said this many times but closed models are having their social media post Arab spring moment

@11251Anon @theficouple I mean just do this math on 5% annual inflation….

"My client is not in a hurry."

One hundred years ago today, on June 10, 1926, Antoni Gaudí died in Barcelona, three days after being struck by a tram on his way to confession. Because of his simple clothes and unkempt appearance, many mistook him for a beggar and delayed helping him. By the time he was identified, it was too late.

A century later, the man known as "God's architect" is being remembered not only for his genius, but for the faith that inspired it.

Today, Pope Leo XIV will visit the Basilica of the Sagrada Família to bless the newly completed Tower of Jesus Christ, the final and tallest of Gaudí's planned towers. Rising 172.5 meters (566 feet), it makes the Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world.

Gaudí devoted the last years of his life almost entirely to the Sagrada Família, convinced that he was not building a monument to himself but offering a work of praise to God. He famously accepted that he would never see it completed, saying, "My client is not in a hurry."

One hundred years after his death, the basilica remains a testament to a faith capable of imagining eternity—and to a man whose greatest masterpiece was never really about architecture at all.
