@_The_Prophet__ Karp spent this morning’s Squawk Box arguing that who controls the weights is the real AI trust question. Here’s what that actually means in terms of where your data physically goes — closed vs. open, no marketing language
Podcast listenership for 12-34s just dipped 2 points to 64% while 35-54s jumped 7. Podcasts are becoming the new talk radio for the olds. Every format young people claim eventually gets colonized by their parents. The next thing could be something always on/AI native
@annvandersteel I think it’s time we got an explanation for the relationship between Tucker Carlson and Peter Thiel. Carlson claims to be a Christian in pursuit of truth who cares deeply about American democracy while entangled with the guy funding a surveillance state
@BrianRoemmele I don't really get the cult take but Anthropic confidentially filed a draft S-1 with the SEC after a $65B Series H at a $965B post-money valuation with a listing reportedly targeted as early as Oct 2026, potentially the first AI company to debut at a trillion-dollar valuation
@gothburz The world that takes AI danger seriously and wants the careful lab at the table is the precise world Anthropic’s entire strategy is built to sail toward. This episode blew the wind hard in that direction
@NickJFuentes This 👆 1000% I want Tucker to interview Peter Thiel and ask him if he believes he is the Katechon or the anti christ and Make. Him. Answer. And then ask him why he's in Argentina
@spencer_askew Screwtape is dangerous because the counterfeit resembles the coin. The idea that derivativeness isn't really a threat doesn’t follow, and Lewis of all people would reject it
@spencer_askew Mimicry is the weapon, not a salute to the thing being mimicked. Bending Christian concepts is the only move available to something that can’t create, only corrupt. Calling it friendly sentimentalizes what is - a hostile activity running its usual playbook
@alexandrosM Both sides are building a record for a future audience. Eventual congressional hearing, the court, the IPO roadshow. Anthropic says “we were compliant and principled.” Sacks says“they abandoned safety the moment it cost them.” Neither is really talking to us
@APompliano@DavidSacks David Sacks exited xAI, Meta and Amazon positions while retaining the alliances and a 449-company AI portfolio whose general value rises if the safety-and-regulation framing loses credibility
@xtuffai@tunguz Dario has been explicit in writing so that “we said so, in public, with timestamps” exists if something goes badly. If a frontier model enables a bio or cyber catastrophe in the next few years, every AI company faces congressional hearings and liability theater
