These are the most important words a White House Chief of Staff have ever spoken…

Listen. You know I am right.

@chamath @grok what’s the gist of this article

[Michael Maxsenti @sequrmike]

Imagine running a company that builds rockets and sells enterprise software and consumer software and internet services and llms and rents compute and a chip factory

@BoredElonMusk Here’s the problem with your premise: the politicians that enact this shit aren’t in office when the bill comes due or they’re not blamed when the system collapses. There are no consequences to the politician for these policies

@Mr_Derivatives Irresponsible at best to conflate the dot com bubble with the AI revolution and the current state of the economy. Today’s AI companies have real revenues, growing super fast and phenomenal business economics. Unit economics will soon follow. There is not correlation.

[Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx]

California doesn't have the highest housing costs in America because of "Trump" in Washington.

It's because of Democrat policies in Sacramento.

So let's change them. Just Try It!

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.

You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.

I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.

But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.

Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.

Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.

So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.

If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

Thank you mark. Before I sold my company I was so poor my car had mushrooms growing in the trunk. On paper, I was a multi-millionaire. Fuck Ro Khanna and all the communists who think these policies are okay so they can spend our country into oblivion.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

Ro, “in your scenario, the founder could sell to pay a one time 5 percent tax or the state could sell it if he defaults on the loan”

Ro, this is the biggest fuck you in the history of entrepreneurship. Ever.

Creating jobs but don’t have cash. Fuck you

Can’t sell shares, we will sell it for you, to whoever. Fuck you.

Creating jobs. Paying great wages instead of taking cash out yourself. Fuck you

Reinvesting into your company and community. Fuck You.

Don’t you know that Jensen, and Lisa Su, and people who have vast amounts of liquidity already have no problem with it. Fuck You

There is a huge difference between someone with liquidity , running a huge public company, and someone who has dedicated every minute of who knows how many years, to building a company, to finally have a dream financing come true , only to be insulted by a politician. “We will sell your shares for you “

GTFO

I’m incredibly proud that my dad is leading the charge to fight back against established party corruption in California. Vote for him today and tomorrow in the California Republican Party primary.

[Michael Maxsenti for Congress @Maxsenti47]

FINAL DAYS. The choice is clear.

We’re in the final stretch before the Primary — and this race will be decided by who shows up.

Dave Min has the full backing of the Democratic machine. We need a proven leader who can actually build a winning coalition and take this seat back in November.

For over 50 years I’ve lived here, raised my family here, and served our community. I’m not a politician -- I’m a reformer who puts people over party.

If you want integrity, common sense, and real representation in Congress, I’m asking for your vote.

Vote Michael Maxsenti for Congress -- CA-47

Share this with your family and friends. Let’s finish strong!
