AI, politics, and the future.

NVDA board should have thought this through better. If they have such a problem with Jenson’s affairs, firing won’t help because now he’ll have even more time for philandering!

@HFI_Research so they're open to dilution?

Eric Weinstein is best understood as a performance artist. I don't necessarily mean that pejoratively.

If you are a famous person, do NOT acknowledge or speak to Eric Weinstein. He will spend the next two years going on podcasts namedropping you and referring to you as his friend and colleague

@Bernstein Effecting change through the political process is hopefully both morally and instrumentally preferable to terrorism.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Daniel, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Unfortunately, it seems like the intelligence explosion will be happening in 2027 after all. Most of this post analyzes the new METR report (though other sources of evidence are also important). If they’re right, that implies an AI-driven acceleration that is 5 months ahead of the AI 2027 scenario. I am scared, sad, and angry. https://t.co/7KWmdc6AZk

Amidst the AI anxiety about either doom or escaping the permanent underclass, it's nice to take a look at the delightful creativity AI facilitates.

I asked fable 5.2 to invent a new musical form.

Fable 5.2 wrote a symphony that’s shaped like a training run.

The orchestra starts as random noise, learns the key, pulse, harmony and the melody, then plays music it was never shown.

@snuppydogg Their report doesn’t disagree. They say superhuman AI researcher in 2027.

@ESPNNBA Those of us who really know ball know this is such a classic lamb chops and gravy type of interaction.

@RokoMijic It’s funny that America is so powerful that it can launch a disastrous Middle East war and it’s just a nothingburger

@adammocklerr To be fair, Frederica Wilson was late because the vote coincided with a shift at her day job as a rodeo clown.

@kastara05 Bach catching strays

@VladChituc Unfortunately I subjectively experience time rather than capex spend.

Jensen sold out his country for sex, but Sacks sold out his country just for his friend to have sex. S-tier wingman.

“I understand that there are some security concerns, but I think they're very easily handled.”

David Sacks in mid 2025 defending Jensen Huang and the case for loosening export controls on China.

The most interesting thinkers of the century have been Peter Thiel, Eliezer, and Robin Hanson. And their AI views are quite different from each other!

@WarriorsMuse cant believe how bad steph used to be at free throws

@GordoCDA You’d save a lot of time if you just tweeted on the days you didn’t think an attack was imminent.

[Atlas Node @atlas_node]

@mmjukic Sometimes a person argues for something without fully disclosing personal factors that may be biasing their view, Marko. This isn’t rocket surgery.

@HunterEKozak I get that was the question Ross asked. But Trump is answering in a public interview. He's not answering what he would actually say. He's answering based on what he wants his audience to hear him saying.

[Atlas Node @atlas_node]

People are reacting as if Trump is answering the forgiveness question earnestly as posed by God at the pearly gates. He's not. He's just answering how he wants to be seen today. He want's to be seen as badass more than pious.

[Hunter Kozak @HunterEKozak]

A remarkable aspect of this interview is when Douthat says essentially “you are the most privileged man in history, you have lived an incredible life full of wealth and friends and millions of worshippers. Are you so petty that you can’t put aside your anger?”

And he responds “no”.

This is such a telling answer and it fills me with such sadness for who he is as a man.

Viewing the Jensen affair as one man's failure as a husband, leader is loser mentality. I prefer to look on the focus on the great triumph by this spy lady. Hall of Fame level spy work! Imagine the kudos she'll get back at the office.
