This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks.

Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models.

This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.

Got ZDR? 🚀 The currency of AI is trust. Since launching Agentforce Trust Layer with Zero Data Retention (ZDR) on June 12, 2023, we’ve drawn a hard line with our model suppliers: Your data is YOUR data — it is NOT our product or their product. 🛡️ We have never used customer data to train AI models. Ever. Learn more: https://t.co/C7zl1hBYoi

The SpaceX IPO is a reminder that in America, dreams and an unflinching mission still matter. Yesterday’s milestone was made from years of conviction, sacrifice, innovation, and thousands of hardworking people refusing to accept limits.

The constellation of companies Elon has built have come together in extraordinary service to humanity likes of which will never to be replicated.

Im proud to have played a small role in one of them, helping protect free speech at X during one of the most consequential periods in history. The resistance was fierce and we won!

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the @SpaceX team.

America and the world thanks you. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

After CBS embarrassed Karen Bass by fact-checking her debate lies about the Palisades Fire, they clearly got the call. CBS filmed with me on my burned out lot for over an hour, and they turned it over to Karen Bass’ PR team to edit it into a comical 5 minute hit piece with clips from the Hills. They can’t beat my ideas, they can’t beat me in the debates, so they gotta try to turn my campaign into a sideshow. People are done with these skeezy political tricks, and I’m done with CBS. They’ll never get a word from me for my next 8 years as mayor. Adios! What outlet should I have in their absence?

Marc Benioff is the apex cloud founder. He and Salesforce have turned every previous technology wave to their advantage. Cloud, social, mobile, big data. I predict AI will be no different.

[Michael Dell 🇺🇸 @MichaelDell]

Without this global town square for free speech, a lot of important things never would’ve seen daylight.

Real-time information governments tried to bury. Scientific debate that was actively censored. Voices that would’ve stayed silenced forever.

Respect to @elonmusk for being the man in the arena when it actually counted. 🫡🙏
