@buildcanada Its infuriating to see the kind of financial software Americans and Brits have access to.

No one is coming to save Canada. We must save ourselves. Fighting fire with fire isn't the answer.

Instead, let's make Canada the best destination for entrepreneurs and investment by:

* Cutting regulations and red tape

* Slashing corporate taxes to 5%

* Unlocking our natural resources

* Reducing the size of government at all levels

* Reducing permitting times to weeks, not years

* Reducing capital gains taxes to unleash investment

* Embracing AI for education and government efficiency

* Creating a sovereign wealth fund that invests in our future

* Aggressively recruiting global talent like a team pursues star players. (For example, creating a "Founder" program that fast-tracks immigration for talented startup founders)

* Going for Gold Program: For every $1B you invest in Canadian infrastructure or innovation, you receive 100M in a ten-year interest-free loan from the government.

And finally ...

* Making more babies!!

Let's build a Canada where entrepreneurs thrive, investment flows, and prosperity is built together by rolling up our sleeves, not pointing elbows.

once you learn how the sausage is made in your industry, some of the glamour falls away

once you've worked in three or five industries, you realize it's all sausage, humans have never produced anything that wasn't sausage, and if you think you see non-sausage— nope, sausage

Pay the taxes of life gladly. Not just from the government. Annoying people are a tax on being outside your house. Delays are a tax on travel. Haters are a tax on having a YouTube channel. There’s a tax on everything in life. You can whine. Or you can pay them gladly.

AI provides a universal framework that leverages data and compute at scale to uncover higher-order patterns

Today, @arcinstitute in collaboration with @nvidia releases Evo 2—a fully open source biological foundation model trained on genomes spanning the entire tree of life 🧵

@harleyf We need more of this in Montreal

agi is coming. superintelligence follows.

people still don’t get it. they think ai is just a fancy autocomplete, that it’s limited to regurgitating data, that it doesn’t “truly understand.” they hear sam altman say agi is near and assume he’s overhyping. as if a man running the most advanced ai lab on the planet, a man who has to actually deliver, would set expectations this high if he wasn’t certain.

this isn’t speculation. the people at the frontier are not debating whether we’ll get there. they are watching it happen. ilya, sam, demis—all of them are telling you outright. reasoning is emerging. reinforcement learning is scaling. the models are getting smarter in ways no one predicted.

this year we solve intelligence. after that, it’s just a matter of compute.

it’s easy to miss how fast this is happening. a few years ago, ai couldn’t write a decent paragraph. now it can generate working code, diagnose diseases, and argue complex legal cases. soon it won’t just be helping engineers write software. it will be designing entire systems on its own. ai will automate medicine, law, finance, and anything else that runs on rules and reasoning. the bottleneck won’t be the intelligence of the models. it will be how quickly humans can adapt to the new reality.

many of you will have your lee sedol, move 37 moment this year. you will watch something you thought was impossible happen right in front of you. entire industries will fall overnight. reinforcement learning will crack tools like operator, and the knowledge economy will become fully automated. ai won’t just assist. it will replace.

this is what ilya saw. project q, strawberry, reasoning models, and the simplicity and power of reinforcement learning.* this is why he ousted sam hastily. he knew the moment was closer than anyone expected. as always, he sees further ahead than the rest of us.

we won’t see it coming. we have been boiling the frog for years. every time ai crosses another milestone, we shift the goalposts. it can’t play chess. it can’t write. it can’t code. it can’t reason. every step forward is dismissed until there’s nowhere left to move the goalposts. by the time people realize what has happened, it will have already come and gone. agi won’t be a single moment. it will be a creeping inevitability, something we only recognize in hindsight, long after the transition is complete.

and yet, people are still arguing about whether ai “understands” or whether it’s just a stochastic parrot. this is what happens every time a paradigm shifts. the old guard can’t see what’s in front of them because they are still anchored to the past.

agi is coming. superintelligence follows. the walls are gone. the only thing left is whether you’re ready. soon, we will taste it, anon.
