If the U.S. is serious about creating new states, perhaps we should also consider it time to allow Puerto Rico statehood?

Thoughts? Seems like low hanging fruit to practice statehood with our territories before we move to bring brand new geographies and peoples into our orbit

I wonder if Trump is using cabinet appointments as a litmus test to see just how “loyal” Republican lawmakers will be…he maintains the ability to withdraw nominations and tell his cabinet appointees “you’re fired” at any time.

feels appropriate that a department of government efficiency would have two heads

@DavidSacks The only way to prevent this is to change the time period between election and inauguration…which has always seemed too long to me. But even with that, some of the policies mentioned were passed early in the spring

[Beau Seil @beauseil]

@DavidSacks Whether or not we like the policies…to say that it is not democratic send like a stretch to me. They are still duly elected officials acting under their authority during the term for which they validly hold office. No?

@DavidSacks @the_carlosdp @Benioff @salesforce To avoid all of this, Open AI would have needed to have been originally set up as a for-profit, but that is not why Open AI was actually created. Its original founders and donors were focused on supporting its non-profit goals. The business opportunity only came later on

[Beau Seil @beauseil]

@DavidSacks @the_carlosdp @Benioff @salesforce Was it (a) a structural problem or (b) an execution problem?

I believe it was a execution problem. Maintaining a board with the capabilities, experience, and maturity in handling high-stakes governance should have been a much higher priority for this structure to work well.

[Beau Seil @beauseil]

@DavidSacks @the_carlosdp @Benioff @salesforce It is my understanding is that @salesforce was not based on IP developed by a non-profit, so @benioff had a lot more flexibility in deciding how he wanted proceeds from the success of the company to be used to benefit the world.

[Beau Seil @beauseil]

@DavidSacks @the_carlosdp @Benioff @salesforce But the non-profit could have "sold" its technology to for-profit and then used its proceeds to fund more development of other tools or do policy work on the safe use of AI.

But the donors to the non-profit and everyone involved with the non-profit did not want that outcome

[Beau Seil @beauseil]

@DavidSacks @the_carlosdp @Benioff @salesforce If the non-profit wanted to ensure the safe development of AI technology that would not harm humanity, then the non-profit would have the right to govern how the technology was used by the for-profit entity and could revoke its "license" at any time

[Beau Seil @beauseil]

@DavidSacks @the_carlosdp @Benioff @salesforce one key factor that differentiates the approach that @benioff took with providing a foundation with significant ownership in @Salesforce.

As I understand it, Open AI (non-profit) did the R&D and IP that allowed Open AI (for-profit) to have a business that could attract capital

@levelsio @SafetyWing I was flying from Sao Paulo to Montevideo, Uruguay and had to obtain insurance on the fly….thankful that @SafetyWing made the process simple and provided evidence to airline personnel that my insurance was in place. Would have been a fire drill if I didn’t have SafetyWing 👍🏻

problem: if you’re doing business in china, you can’t comment on today’s hu jintao incident.

have to ask yourself how much intellectual honesty is worth.
