The entire tech industry (save for Anthropic) has come out in favor of open source AI.
So what happens next? Will Anthropic change its lobbying efforts? Not likely. Now the gaslighting begins:
“Nobody is trying to ban open source.”
“We just want to limit who can use it.”
“We just want to limit who can contribute to it.”
“We just want to limit how powerful those models can be.”
“We just want to make sure the guardrails (we lobbied for) can’t be removed.”
The net effect will be the same. They won’t stop until they kneecap open source. The rest of the industry needs to watch these guys like a hawk.
BREAKING: Elon Musk completely EXPOSED THIS reporter to her face: “A Lot more people hate YOU and the MEDIA than you realize!"
"I don't care. The fact that a quarter billion people follow me means more people like me than don't”
I STAND WITH ELON MUSK 💯
This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks.
Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models.
This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.
The International Criminal Court seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law — empowered to prosecute and arrest our citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty.
We will teach the ICC the full meaning of American resolve.
Anyone who says "Abolish ICE" is a pathetic joke and should never be taken seriously…
It’s Defund the Police 2.0
Millions of unvetted men entered our country without permission, and their response is to attack our own people trying to remove them.
We need a bit more shame.
People used to avoid certain self-interested behaviors to avoid shame, private and public. Law and customs assumed this.
Now, 38% of Stanford students claim to be disabled. 40% of young women (under 35) claim mental illness, and SSI disability payments have gone up 400% in a single generation.
It isn't good for anyone, least of all people who are actually disabled, when everyone looks the other way as friends and family and peers con the system with a level of shamelessness no architect of our safety net ever imagined could be possible in America. When everyone is disabled, nobody is.
What do we think about US politicians putting on jerseys from another country — in a tournament the US is playing in — and rooting for the foreign country in public? Zero percent chance any American sports fans I know would do this.
“Communism is the enemy of free people everywhere. It is the enemy of the Constitution. Above all, it is the enemy of July 4, 1776.” - President Donald J. Trump
.@RoKhanna is a rich radical who is seeking power by any means necessary. He does not even have a basic understanding of economics and he is a dissembler who greatly misled me and others to raise funds for his campaigns.
He is not to be trusted.
Holy. Shit.
Tim Walz actually just pardoned an illegal immigrant who raped a 10-year-old girl. He did it to shield him from being deported.
What the fuck is happening…
Tim Walz and this man should be hanged.
NEW: Justice Clarence Thomas issues a scathing 91-page dissenting opinion after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump's birthright citizenship order.
"The Court today takes the extraordinary step of holding facially unconstitutional the President's Order excluding from citizenship the children of foreign temporary visitors and illegal aliens," Thomas wrote.
"In doing so, the Court adds to the sad history of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks but has instead been repurposed for political projects that the Reconstruction Congress did not support."
Pitch perfect @StephenM on birthright citizenship:
“There is no possible reading of the 14th Amendment that applies to foreigners with foreign loyalties, foreign citizenship, foreign obligations—foreign everything.”
There is something deeply wrong with a society not being allowed to choose who qualify as fellow citizens. Allowing a small, unaccountable legislative body - masquerading as a ‘court’ - define who your fellow citizens are is not sustainable.
Our institutions are just broken.
