Successful Bipartisan vote on CLARITY act to move forward.
We might have indeed got the best deal possible or as David said, we almost walked away from the car dealer and then got the best counter offer.
The Senate Banking Committee is putting in the work as it moves the Clarity Act forward… incredible leadership!
Millions of Americans are already in this market. Ripple stands behind this bill because they deserve the same rules and protections as every other asset class. If the largest economy in the world is going to lead on crypto - and it must - this is the moment. Let's get it done!
We send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of longtime broadcaster John Garrett. Following his playing career, he went into the broadcast booth and fans across the league had the privilege of listening to John over the course of four decades.
Rest in peace, John.
Elon Musk turned down all shares when he left OpenAI because he believed nonprofits are not meant for self-enrichment.
"The reason I founded OpenAI was because I was concerned, based on my conversations with Larry Page, that he was not sufficiently concerned about the dangers of AI. At my birthday party, he, in front of a large group of people, called me a speciesist, for favoring humanity over computers. So after that, I was like, We got to have some counterbalance to Google, because Larry doesn't seem to care if humans make it or not.
So I thought, what's the opposite of Google? It would be an open source nonprofit, and that's where the word open, in OpenAI comes from. It means open source.
I provided all the money, recruited the key people, and taught them everything I know. I actually even got them to deal with Microsoft.
And for all that, I did not seek any financial reward whatsoever. The reason I actually took down the offer for shares is because, I mean, I felt like what are the shares, and why like nonprofits supposed to have shares? Nonprofits are not supposed to be self enrichment, so that's why I turned on the offer of shares."

@Trevor_Neufeld I think Zary has been pretty poor all year honestly. Zero consistency and to me is a bubble player if these new prospects push for spots. Disappointed honestly!
