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.
Miss Governor,
Women in Iran and across Muslim communities get beaten and murdered for refusing the hijab. I was kicked out of school, multiple times, for "improper hijab." That was my life.
So am I an Islamophobe for saying "fuck you" when you cosplay as a champion of women’s rights while wrapping yourself in the same symbol that was used to police, punish, and erase me and millions of women around the world just to court Muslim votes?
No. I’m not.
FUCK YOU.

Minnesotans are angry about fraud and our tax dollars being stolen.
Neither Peggy Flanagan nor Angie Craig did anything about it.
Crime rates are up. Test scores are down.
We cannot promote career politicians who created this mess. Minnesota deserves better. We must demand better.
I don't know who these idiots are making up this idea that competitive sports are not exclusionary. It's dumb and provably false at every turn.
No heavy weights in the welter weight category.
No high schooler baseball players in little league.
Only 6-7% of high school athletes go on to play in college (because the others aren't good enough!)
Only 1% of men's college football and basketball athletes go pro.
Less than .2% of college athletes make the Olympics
Pick a new catch phrase, this one -- "exclusion is never the answer" -- is almost as dumb as "trans women are women." Not quite. Nothing will ever beat that one for stupidity.
It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come.📷📷
At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation.
Yet Jeanne's legacy extended far beyond the war. She earned her Ph.D., dedicated three decades to teaching, earned her private pilot license, and spent the rest of her life proving that courage, determination, and purpose know no age.
In 2024, Jeanne and her fellow Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors, recognizing the extraordinary women whose sacrifices and determination helped secure victory during World War II.
To all of us at Pacific Historic Parks, Jeanne was far more than a Rosie, she was family. She traveled to Hawaiʻi time and again to share her remarkable story with visitors, inspire local students, and ensure that the sacrifices of the Home Front would never be forgotten. Her radiant smile, generous heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched every life she encountered.
She had a special gift for encouraging young girls, reminding them that no dream was too big and no obstacle too great. Through her words and her example, she inspired generations to believe in themselves and pursue lives of courage, service, and purpose.
Jeanne remained a tireless advocate for preserving the legacy of the Rosies, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park on "Rosie Fridays" and ensuring the stories of the women who helped win the war would continue to inspire future generations.
In one of life's poignant moments, just days before her passing, Jeanne was celebrated with a Wall of Honor banner at the park she loved so dearly and recognized during a San Jose Earthquakes halftime ceremony honoring Bay Area heroes. It was a fitting tribute to a woman whose life was defined by selfless service, quiet strength, and extraordinary grace.
Though Jeanne has taken her final flight, her legacy will never fade. It lives on in every story she shared, every young person she inspired, every life she touched, and in the enduring example of courage she leaves behind.
Our hearts are with Jeanne's family, her fellow Rosies, and all who were blessed to know and love her.
Rest in peace, Jeanne Gibson.
Thank you for answering the call when your country needed you most. Thank you for showing generations what courage looks like. We will remember you always
The city published a list of all properties -- and the names of the owners -- that *could be* subject to the new pied a terre tax in a very easy to search Excel sheet:

Jeremy Harris was 100% right to call out SPD for holding up a presser after a mass shooting at the Space Needle so "dignitaries" like Bob Ferguson, Pramila Jayapal and Katie Wilson could get their $h!t together
They just wanted to be in front of a camera
He was burning alive, yet he kept re-entering the burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle until all six soldiers and the Iraqi interpreter were safe. Burns covered 72% of his body. His first words were, ‘How are my boys?’ He died three weeks later. It took 16 years for him to receive the Medal of Honor. HIS NAME IS SERGEANT FIRST CLASS ALWYN C. CASHE, NEVER FORGET!!!
After repeatedly raping a 10-year-old girl for years, Vang insisted it was “a cultural thing.” Well, this is a “constitutional thing” that the Secretary of State, not the Minnesota Governor, decides who remains in the country after such a serious offense. https://t.co/1lNIeEnAow
My debut World Cup… it hurts to wait 4 years to compete at the highest level our sport has to offer. I want to say sorry to our fans it was not good enough when it mattered most and we let you down
Soccer in America will only become bigger the belief, the talent, and the passion is continually growing and I know the best days are in front of us, the future belongs to those who never stop believing, this moment will fuel us. We will be back
Why not us?
For the nation. For the flag.

Why is USAID in the medical business at all? Why can't State Dept Global Health or HHS Int'l Affairs do that? Does your local hospital have a side office devoted to regime change, street riots and electioneering? If USAID workers were so good at it, why can't they find jobs now?
Spencer Pratt absolutely went off at NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.https://t.co/ofFpIA9EXP
"F*ck you, communist! This is our home and you can't have it."
"Commie Mamdani's ancestors never bled for this country. He has no history here. So he has no attachment to our home. He has no place to rewrite our history and lecture us about what our country stands for!"
For 250 years, we’ve tested one idea: we’re stronger united than divided.
We come from different backgrounds and hold different beliefs, yet we stand together under one flag. That’s the enduring spirit of America.
Proud to be American. 🇺🇸
