I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
Islam Makhachev on how he’s going to raise his kids:
“I’ll be just as strict with my kids as my father was with me. Nowadays these psychologists say you shouldn’t yell at a kid. That you can’t slap them on the backside. They say it damages their psyche.
Are Khabib and I psychologically damaged? Both our fathers were very strict. It’s the other way around.”

“I just want to give all praise to my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. Without Him I’m nothing. I’m a broken, wretched, sinful man. He’s saved me time & time again. Whenever I lack self-confidence, I have God confidence.”

🚨BREAKING: Kash Patel names multiple high-profile NBA arrests in an alleged illegal gambling ring that spanned years.
More than 30 people were arrested in the case — including current and former NBA stars and suspected members of the American branch of the Sicilian Mafia, La Cosa Nostra.
Patel says the FBI “entered and executed justice” against the crime families including the Bonanno crime family, Gambino crime family, Genovese crime family and Lucchese crime family.
@FBIDirectorKash No it’s being delivered by citizen journalists while you prosecute a patsy and you should be deeply embarrassed Kash.
You had one job and it was Epstein. God gave you a second job with Charlie.
And you failed both in the most spectacular way imaginable.
Qatar is everything that conspiracy theories attach to Jews: 31 FARA registrants in the US, nearly $250M on lobbying firms in the last decade, over $6 BILLION buying influence at US universities.

If this is how ICE will treat your elected officials in a hospital while being videotaped, imagine the brutal force they are using elsewhere when no one is watching. This is a blatant attack on due process and constitutional rights.
TUCKER: Bibi’s running around the Middle East and his own country, I control the U.S., I control Donald Trump.
It’s humiliating. I shouldn’t have to put up with that. 9M ppl. I’m attacking my leaders who are allowing 350M ppl to be forced into doing things that are bad for me and my children bc of some other country. That is a violation of the most basic arrangement we have with our leaders, which is to represent us most of the time. And they’re not.
The ongoing humiliation ritual is to make us all crazy. The haters, I’m not gonna give them the satisfaction of becoming what they call me. I’m not a hater, and I’m never gonna become one. But I will never accept this. I shouldn’t have to accept it. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I’m not hiding anything. I say exactly what I think all the time. This is wrong, and if it’s not wrong, tell me it’s not wrong.
Why don’t you stop attacking me and trying to get family members fired? Why don’t you tell me you disagree with me? But they can’t, bc they don’t actually have an argument to justify controlling the U.S. gov’t for the purposes of other countries whatever their plan is, expansion or otherwise.
Obama dropped a bomb every 8 minutes for 8 years straight. He dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016 alone on 6 different countries. He droned hospitals, weddings, and the funerals for those killed in the weddings. He has no moral conscience to be commentating on war crimes.
Obama not only gave Israel the largest military aid deal in history of $38 billion, but he also facilitated Israel's bombardment of Gaza on multiple occasions.
One of his first acts as president was suppressing the UNHRC's Goldstone Report that documented Israeli war crimes in 2009. This is the length his administration went to protect Israel's public image— threatening an international judge.
In 2014, the last time witnessed any bombardment remotely comparable to such a scale as this genocide; Obama publicly, unapologetically, justified Israel's brutal bombing campaign in Gaza despite the alarming death toll then.
