Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry? First, click here to agree to terms you don’t have time to read and must accept. You need an account to do that. Change your temporary password. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email and enter that code. Now use a passkey. Your password is too simple to remember. Change it. No, not like that. Now log on. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email for a code… Welcome back! We’ve updated our terms of service and privacy policy (you have none). Subscribe to the site. Subscribe to Netflix. Subscribe to toilet paper. Subscribe to these groceries. Pay a membership fee for the right to subscribe then tip your driver who delivers the subscriptions your membership lets you subscribe to. Time to work? We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.

In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.

AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.

We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.

We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

How I feel @ilaiyaraaja and @arrahman should respond these days -

[Charunethran @charupg]

In my 20s and 30s I was always chasing the destination, then tried to convince myself it was all about the journey. Over time I have realised that what truly matters is the company. The right person changes how both the journey and the destination feel.

@aktxt Your father and mother look like they have achieved the couple goals that all of us hope to reach one day.

To grow old with someone is such a blessing. 😊

This is the kind of determination that humbles and inspires you at the same time.

When I started competing, I had a small dream - to one day compete alongside the able-bodied and win medals ♥️ I didn’t make it at first, but I kept going, learning from every setback.

Now, that dream is one step closer. 🌟

In the Asia Cup trials, I secured Rank 3 and will now represent India in the Asia Cup - in the able-bodied category. 🇮🇳

Dreams take time. Work. Believe. Repeat. 💫

As much as these 16 bullets made me chuckle, I think @PatrickMoorhead is spot on about what needs to be done to run a tech company in the U.S. these days.

Hope things work out!

After talking with many smart people this weekend, here’s what LBT needs to do tomorrow:
1/ CLOTHES: Wear a suit
2/ PIN: Wear an American pin
3/ INGRATIATE: Tell DJT he’s the greatest President this country has ever had (I’m not joking folks)
4/ HERITAGE: Talk about your 40 years here and how proud you are to be an American
5/ I’M RICH: Tell DJT you’re wealthy, tell him your net worth, you didn’t need this job, but took it on because you care about American greatness and Intel’s part in this.
6/ CHINA FACTS: Be very precise about the kind of investments you make, how many are Chinese and non-Chinese. And how and why you made these investments.
7/ SELL CHINA INVESTMENTS: Offer to sell the China investments but float the idea of keeping the investments, but keeping them passive and even placing in a some sort of trust where it’s illegal to direct those investments or advise them. If DJT balks, sell them or DJT will suggest that leaving Intel may be the best move as Trump may not let this go. He will have been pre briefed on all this and of Intel GR is doing it’s job, this has been pre-negotiated.
8/ FOUNDRY TIME: If LBT hasn’t been escorted out, now it’s time to talk foundry.
9/ BIG INVESTMENTS: Talk about the value Intel has provided to the nation, how much invested, inventions, patents, and jobs created the past 56 years. Count all CAPEX, all COGS, all SALARIES, all REVENUE derived from your customers. Be open about the challenges and the mistakes Intel made explain the plan to glory.
10/ $100B: Discuss the $100B commitment. Here’s where it gets tricky. The PG plan was $100B but this may not still be the plan as the company has back-tracked foundry.
11/ THREAT: Discuss the big picture about if Intel doesn’t get 1-2 anchor tenants, they can’t afford it, wont do the foundry 14A, then there will be no remaining leading edge node American companies left and the ramifications of this. Hopefully this has been pre-read and the difference between foundries and IP has sunk in.
12/ SOLUTION: Ask DJT to help make America Chip Foundries Great Again by getting his help to get an Apple or Qualcomm public signing of an LOI for 14A if Intel Foundry clears reasonable hurdles. And then the same for AMD or NVIDIA. Make an announcement that Intel is investing $200B over 10 years, an incremental $100B. It doesn’t matter if it happens, just that DJT and White House can do a victory lap. Like Apple. Like Stargate. Like Foxconn. Also, discuss that via 232, he should lay down the hammer on $TSM and explain how that would bring even more $AMD, $NVDA, $AAPL, $QCOM $AVGO and $MRVL manufacturing to the US.
13/ GIFTS: Present DJT with golden wafer (thanks @Lost_Signal and @runaway_vol), name a new foundry after DJT (thanks @thejefflutz)
14/ SPINOUT: If this doesn’t work, then discuss what a successful foundry spinout could look like. (See previous tweet this am.)
15/ ATTACK BOARD: If this doesn’t work, ask for his help to start calling out the Intel BoD and work from there.
16/ RUN: AWAY: If none of that works then… I’m out of ideas. Say you will consider these amazing DJT recommendations and get back soon.

Anyways…. Good luck LBT.
