As I mentioned on the pod over and over again, and faced significant push back on (pull the clip), the top application layer companies have embraced building their own open source models OVER using OpenAI and Anthropic, since they perceive them increasingly as completion.
Seems like Harvey is among the latest to remove the FMD — frontier model dependency.

Magdalena Anderssons råd till människor när bolånen blir dyrare efter att hon har infört straffskatt på banker: ”Ge er ut på gatorna och protestera.” Vad sägs om att vi undviker hela den övningen och röstar fram en regering som inte vill göra bolånen dyrare med en straffskatt?

My full speech at the @OxfordUnion debating whether the west is right to be suspicious of Islam.
I needed a security team to attend and we were spat at, bullied and heckled by a baying mob.
But I will not give up on free speech.
I will not submit.
Mina kära kamrater i Socialdemokraterna. Den enda ministerpost jag kan tänka mig är den som avislamiseringsminister. Som den vänliga själ jag är kan jag tänka mig att ta ett pedagogiskt samtal med er om detta. Jag vet nämligen att det riskerar att slå hårt mot era importerade islamistiska kärnväljare och att det därför kan komma att skapa en del trauman hos er.
Men så här är det: till skillnad från er så tror jag på demokratin och att den är värd att försvaras från de antidemokratiska, våldsförespråkande, antisemitiska och kvinnofientliga krafter ni har släppt lös i Sverige. Och till skillnad från er så sätter jag Sverige främst, alltid och i alla lägen.
Jag lovar därför att ägna hela min politiska gärning åt att försöka minimera skadeverkningarna av den sjuka politik ni driver. Det spelar nämligen ingen roll om vi talar om den accelererade segregationen, det växande utanförskapet, gängkriminaliteten, den organiserade brottsligheten, islamiseringen, förnedringsrånen eller överfalls- och gruppvåldtäkterna. Allt är en följd av den högst medvetna politik ni har tvingat på det svenska folket.
Jag skulle vilja gå så långt som att säga att den är ett förräderi mot Sverige och det svenska folket. Det finns för övrigt en historisk parallell jag skulle kunna göra här om en viss norsk landsförrädare som valde att förråda sitt land precis som ni. Men jag tror ni vet vad jag menar vid det här laget, så jag låter det vara osagt. 🫶🏻
Det finns fortfarande en helt central följdfråga Nooshi Dadgostar måste svara på i den senaste upplagan av terrorgate i vänsterpartiet, efter hennes partisekreterares platta försvarstal i gårdagens Aktuellt.
Launch infrastructure is every bit as complicated as the rockets themselves, and is designed to operate in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Socialists imagine a class struggle. In their made-up fantasy the CEO is in competition with low level workers, the wealthy entrepreneur is stealing from the underpaid nurse.
In reality, workers do not compete vertically they compete horizontally.
Entrepreneurs compete with entrepreneurs. Investors outbid each other. CEOs are benchmarked against other CEOs. Nurses are hired from a pool of nurses. Etc.
The CEOs pay has no correlation to the entry level workers. The Football star on £300K a week isn’t linked to the person selling drinks in the stadium. A biotech entrepreneur raising VC capital isn’t paid relative to a cleaner.
What is linked is the demand and supply dynamic of each role.
If a company places an ad for a qualified truck driver and 150 people apply for the role, then the company knows it does not need to increase wages for that role. If the company has an open role for months, it is forced to look at the compensation package.
Same for a CEO. A board representing shareholders would like to hire a CEO for a lot less if they could. Their dream scenario would be to hire a CEO who brings in institutional investors, attracts top executives, drives innovation and growth, keeps margins steady and is a good public face for the business even under pressure. It turns out there aren’t a lot of these people looking for work and if you want one you have to pay more than other companies are offering.
The class struggle isn’t vertical it’s horizontal. CEOs are in competition with CEOs. Retail workers are in competition with retail workers. Demand and supply dynamics set the price.
Sure you can say that a CEO want’s profitability and would like wages to be lower BUT it’s not up to the CEO - demand and supply tension sets the price of workers. An Airline like RyanAir would like free pilots if they could get them but they can’t… so they pay the market rate.
The reason incomes are rising at the top and falling at the bottom is not class warfare. It’s technology and globalisation.
Technology makes basic jobs simple, remote or fully automated. At the same time tech makes executive roles more leveraged, more important and more valuable.
A CEO used to run a smaller organisation. Today a CEO who’s 2% better on a $5B company is generating $100M more. Seems sensible to try and pay a few million to get $100M.
Globalisation has put workers from all over the world in completion with each other - downward pressure on wages. Globalisation has given CEOs more market opportunities to explore - upside opportunity to unlock.
The rich are not very interested in buying houses that poor people own. The poor are not buying up the homes the rich want. They are separate groups living separate lives. Try finding the genuinely rich people whose strategy is to hoard normal residential homes - it barely exists as a thing. About 85% of landlords are people who own 1-4 properties. Super-landlords (100+ properties) are 0.2% of landlords and own a tiny fraction of the 30M homes in the UK… and they’re heavily taxed.
Class warfare isn’t real. It’s an imagined war in the minds of socialists.
Demand and supply dynamics are real. To the degree it is measured in class, it’s a horizontal competition not a vertical one.
Update re: Vueling Matter-
Joint Statement from @NJACLaw, @Association_OJE, and @ACOM_es:
The signatory organizations express our deep concern regarding the events that occurred on July 23, 2025, at Valencia airport, where 44 French minors were expelled from an airplane by the pilot after being identified as Jewish, and their young supervisor was subdued and detained by police in a violent and absolutely disproportionate manner. The initial evidence and testimonies collected from direct witnesses indicate that this could be an act of antisemitic discrimination against children and young minors, which is why we are gathering and analyzing all evidence to take action through all available legal channels, in order to defend the civil rights and protection of these minors and to ensure that this serious incident does not go unpunished.
Based on a preliminary evaluation of testimonies that we consider credible and which we continue to verify, the events unfolded as follows: On July 23, 2025, a group of 44 French Jewish minors between 13 and 17 years old, belonging to Camp Kineret, were removed from Vueling flight VY8166 bound for Paris-Orly.
The facts are corroborated by multiple testimonies, including from passengers who had nothing to do with the group, and describe a disproportionate, unjustified, and exceptional action: 44 minors were removed from the aircraft without any valid explanation by order of the captain. These children, supervised by eight young adults, had just finished a camp and were seated in their seats, respecting the rules and staff. No incidents, threats, or inappropriate behavior were reported. On the contrary, several independent passengers on the plane wrote statements confirming that the children posed no threat to public order or flight safety.
The arbitrary and excessive response of the crew was followed by violent intervention by the Civil Guard, which culminated in the most abusive arrest of the group's director, 21 years old, before the traumatized eyes of the minors. The adolescents were detained for hours, irregularly forced to delete the videos they had recorded of the incident, and finally abandoned by the airline without an alternative flight.
The minors returned to their homes the next day after receiving support for their relocation from Jewish groups and communities, shocked after witnessing these acts of violence and institutional abuse. Further aggravating the situation, instead of opening an impartial investigation, Vueling issued a defamatory statement that, without mentioning any intention to clarify the facts, slandered these minors by accusing them of "conflictive behavior" and "violent attitude." This irresponsible response has fueled a campaign of defamation on social media against Jewish minors, with unfounded accusations including alleged chants against Palestinians and manipulation of security equipment. All these assertions about behavior attributed to each and every member of the group, issued without any proof, would constitute defamation that would carry serious consequences.
It is particularly serious that an airline known for transporting vacation passengers, some highly conflictive and with aggressive or uncontrolled behavior without any consequence, would target minors so meanly and that its pilot would decide to adopt such extraordinary measures without consequences.
All of this has provoked a wave of international indignation that once again questions the bias and hatred against Jews executed by individuals, institutions, and authorities in Spain in the face of inaction, if not connivance, of the government, which has not expressed any type of concern nor opened any investigation of the incident.
Given the seriousness of these events involving French minors on Spanish territory, perpetrated by a company based in Spain and Spanish security forces against Jewish minors, we announce that our organizations will initiate in a coordinated manner the most forceful legal actions available both nationally and internationally, which may affect the aircraft commander and his crew, the airline and its parent company (IAG which, with Qatari shareholding, also owns British Airways and Iberia), the police officers who acted with excessive force, their commanders, airport and transport authorities in Spain, and all those who share responsibility in this most regrettable act of abuse against Jewish children.
