Billions of dollars are about to flow into Effective Altruism.
Anthropic was founded on EA principles, and its founders pledge to donate 80% of their wealth when the company IPOs. They also match employee equity donations. Plus, last year, six EA-aligned grantmakers deployed $1.25 billion.
EAs believe, essentially, that every sentient being, across every place and time, holds the same moral claim on every other.
This logic, as @WilliamThibeau notes, only works if Americans deprioritize everything that keeps our civilization intact: nation, family, religion, tradition…
As such, EA’s success entails the disintegration of America. It’s fundamentally at odds with nation building.
If AI labs are our strategic national assets, Congress must start scrutinizing their philosophical underpinnings, and the philanthropic networks surrounding them. Full story 👇

I think it's important to focus on the 10 LTAs signed with major customers... this helps provide some visibility into the next few years.

TRUMP HALTS PLANNED IRAN STRIKES
Trump reportedly ordered the U.S. military not to carry out planned strikes on Iran on Friday, despite having previously approved attack plans, according to Axios.
The decision came hours after Oman-mediated talks resumed over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with reports suggesting negotiations have made progress.
$INTC vs consensus reported ~2x the EPS & beat revs by 12%. They raised capex (18%) much like their customers did yesterday but unlike their customers their Q3 EPS is going up by ~40%. I like infrastructure beneficiaries w/ expanding margins of all that spend, not the spenders.
