We didn't get the best news today at a doctors visit. Surgery #3 coming for my Babydoll(wifey). She looked at me and said God has been building me for this, And thank goodness its on a bye week so Nicholas doesn't have game 🙄

No blink! No doubt! No fear! Just Jesus! Its humbling to watch. It doesn't mean I'm not scared as hail, but man the Peace of God is incredible. My Babydolls favorite verse is 2 Corinthians 12:9–10, "But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

She is weak right now, but our God isnt. If you are the praying type we will take em all.

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.

You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.

I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.

But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.

Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.

Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.

So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.

If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

@scott_seiver I saw the results and was shocked. Thanks for a great career. Robbed by the system. Enjoyed playing next to you this year in the Badugi tourn. I learned so much from watching you play. I look forward to playing with you again. You are in my Hall of Fame.

🚨 LMFAO! After Hakeem Jeffries melted down on MSNBC over Trump’s meme dressing him up as a Mexican, 47 doubled down and posted ANOTHER one, with Trump appearing in the background as a mariachi band

Nobody can out-troll President Trump. Nobody 🤣

@NiederauerMusic @Yale Congrats on graduating!! Saw you play several times at the NOLA Jazz fest 7/8 years ago. Wow what a talent. The temptation to quit school, & go play must have been great. Congrats mom for making sure you finished. A statement to your character. Cant wait to see you play soon

The Democratic Party is all about the centralization of control. It's about surveillance. It's about top down policies that are dictated by oligarchy. It's the opposite of democracy.

BREAKING: The RFK Jr. campaign just released one of the most BEAUTIFUL Trump ads EVER

It starts with a question to the voters asking, "Are you or your loved ones suffering from illnesses such as TDS, also known as Trump Derangement Syndrome?"

IT'S HILARIOUS AND PERFECT! 😂😂

[Daniel Negreanu @RealKidPoker]

I listened to the whole thing.

Then I took a look at different media outlet takes for fun and assume they were already written before the Space even started.

It was either fantastic or a train wreck depending which bubble you are in and that was gonna be the case no matter how it actually went.

It’s so blatant, if you step back and take it all in, the manipulation of narratives is just so incredibly obvious.

@AnthonyKim_Golf I couldn't agree more! Well said.

[Andy Johnson @AndyTFE]

In men's professional golf, we have seen a wave of dominant youth talent. Every week a new young "star" is born. It's made me wonder, does experience matter anymore in golf?

At the Open, the elements and Royal Troon created a test that examined every conceivable shot in the bag and players without a wide range of shots struggled, notably young players.

The best finish for a player under 25 was t19, Daniel Hillier, who talked about growing up in the windy part of New Zealand. The next best was MK Kim at t31. The top ten of the tournament was by far the oldest in average age of the four majors, I would venture to guess due to the unique nature of the test which required supreme shotmaking and creativity.

We need more tournaments that examine things beyond how far you can hit it and how well you wedge it. The best way to achieve this is through quality golf architecture and natural elements like weather, firm turf and topography. Venues matter and those that possess some of these attributes create the most compelling television.

Seeing shot shapes, trajectories, course management skills and experience valued rather than who can hit the most high launching bombs was delightful. I hope the future of men's pro golf values this type of a test and less golf like what we see week in and week out on the PGA Tour.
