I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.

This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

Fun chatting with you, @slice_fund

In this episode, we go across the pond to Berlin, where @ramz is building a €10M fund as a solo GP backing the scientists and founders most European VCs overlook within bio, neuro and foundational AI

"I chatted with an LLM today, here's what it taught me about fearmongering and clickbait posts that maximize my reach."

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights.

What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

A brief thought on why we need to pay more attention.

@roncohen not entirely sure, tbh. Germany has a lot going for it, but this nonsense drives me nuts.

[Ramzi Rizk @ramz]

There is no bigger scam than notaries. Zero value added. Charging a percentage of the transaction fee. Every time I leave feeling like I've been robbed of time and money. Every time I have the urge to scream about it on X.

On The Inevitability of Cognitive Atrophy
Some cognitive tasks are fine to give up. Others are core to our identity and personality. Do we know which is which?

AI did to software development what smartphones did to photography 15 years ago. If You Can Think It, You Can Build It

"general first impression is enough"

"be critical but constructive. don't invent things."

Anyone else starting to talk to humans like LLMs?

[Ramzi Rizk @ramz]

We have the talent. We have the resources.

We have enough people with great ideas and the right mindset (the rest can follow).

All we need is for the bureaucrats to get out of the way and let us build.

In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch.
In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG.

Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.

The AI assistant Moltbot / Clawdbot trilemma is that you only get to pick two of these until prompt injections are solved:

Useful
Autonomous
Safe

lean into action.

Some thoughts on why governments are fundamentally flawed, what their true purpose is, why the system no longer works, and how I believe we can get back on the right track.

Hopefully this inspire some, trigger others, and lead to interesting convos!

@fabianstelzer now try writing this with a pen. Had to write something a few weeks ago - it was physically and mentally painful.
