What timeline are we on man.
There’s a $60 million UFC cage on the White House lawn for the president’s 80th birthday. 125,000 guests. 494 port-a-potties. He compared it to the Eiffel Tower and said maybe they’ll never take it down.
The world’s first trillionaire was minted yesterday. SpaceX IPO. One person now holds more wealth than the GDP of most countries.
The government is negotiating to own a piece of OpenAI. The CEO walked into the White House and pitched it himself. They’re calling it a Public Wealth Fund.
That same government killed OpenAI’s biggest competitor’s models on a Friday night. The reason? A verbal jailbreak claim from an unnamed company. The same jailbreak works on OpenAI’s models. Nobody touched them.
The competitor got blacklisted by the Pentagon four months ago. Their crime? Refusing to let the military use their AI for mass surveillance of American citizens. A judge called it retaliation. The Pentagon did it anyway.
Both AI companies filed to go public in the same two-week window. Both targeting trillion-dollar valuations. One has a government equity deal in progress. The other can’t keep its products online.
The engineers who built the banned models can’t use them anymore. Because of their passports.
And an AI company that spent thousands of hours cooperating with government safety testing got punished harder than any company that didn’t bother.
UFC on the White House lawn. A trillionaire. Government-owned AI. Export controls based on phone calls. Cage fights and trillion-dollar IPOs in the same news cycle.
Watch the film titled Idiocracy. That’s the timeline we’re on.
Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?
There are only 4 states (and one district) that a majority of Americans report having been to:
- Florida (64%)
- New York (58%)
- DC (54%)
- Texas (54%)
- California (53%)
5% of Americans say they have never left their home state.
It’s crazy, Gen Z gets lectured so frequently about ‘poor financial decisions’. Then, when a financially responsible and a healthy trend emerges, it’s suddenly not ‘Gen Z is choosing health and saving money’ it’s ’This industry is losing X money because of Gen Z!’
Serious Question: The alcohol industry has lost $830 billion in the last 4 years, because Gen Z is not drinking. Why do you think they aren’t drinking?
