For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Pèp ayisyen,

Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.

Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.

Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.

Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.

Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.

Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.

Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.

“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”

2 Kwonik 7:14

Ede nou ede Ayiti.

Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

I used to be a language lawyer. In the late 80s I _studied_ the ARM (Annotated Reference Manual for C++). I knew the language cold, inside and out. I could make it do backflips. I shipped a lot of code using it. A LOT.

I’ve attacked other languages with a similar intensity and depth. Until recently, that was simply the only way to become adept at building software systems.

I now consider the deep understanding of a language to be a supreme waste of time and effort. I don’t want to learn Rust, or Golang, or Typescript, or any of the thousands of other languages out there. I’ll leave that to my agents.

What I need now is to understand the high level gestalt of the system. I want to see the systems and subsystems. I don’t need to inspect the cogs. If I truly need to understand a detail at the cog level, I’ll interrogate my agents. I’m not going to pretend to be a language expert anymore.

May the bloodthirsty warmongers, who push for a war that never ends, burn in hell!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@johnhawkinsrwn Yeah, this retard is so fucking dumb that he doesn’t realize that our policies serve the Ukrainian people.

Pieces of shit like this want the war to continue until every last man in Ukraine has died in a ditch.

They are utter scum of the Earth.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Correct.

Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.

Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.

Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.

Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.

Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.

SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.

That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.

End of story.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people.

The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

🇩🇪🇪🇺 AfD wants to STRIP BRUSSELS OF ITS POWER, and Alice Weidel has a plan to make it happen.

She wants to scrap direct elections to the European Parliament, shrink the EU's executive branch, slash its budget, and return major powers to individual countries.

And Germany has a BIG bargaining chip: MONEY.

The AfD wants to threaten to withhold German funding unless Brussels agrees to sweeping reforms, while seeking exemptions from EU rules on immigration, taxation, and defense.

The target is 2029. And if Brussels refuses? A referendum on Germany LEAVING THE EU 🔥

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America.

This will be the first of many.

There were many opportunities to stop the war. In 2022, a peace agreement was ready in Istanbul, but Western elites, through Boris Johnson, instructed Ukraine to continue fighting to restore its 1991 borders.

At that time, every peace proposal the West offered Putin essentially demanded that Russia surrender, pay massive reparations, and withdraw from Crimea. That was never going to happen. Demands from both sides must be realistic.

Trump is trying to find a way to stop this bloodshed. Zelensky and his backers in the EU don't want that. Instead, they keep setting unrealistic conditions that Russia will never accept.

I hope that a new Ukrainian president, along with elections in Germany and France, will create a new opportunity for peace. Until then, I don't see much hope for it.

At least 20 trucks of EU regulation papers for Elon‘s flying car!

[Eva Vlaardingerbroek @EvaVlaar]

European bureaucrats are already panicking over how they're going to regulate this.

[AA @skywish13]

Are you sure? Think again: war against a nuclear power. Russians consider Ukrainian civilians their own citizens, which is why civilian casualties remain low. When serious escalation starts and Russia's survival is at stake, they will destroy everything they touch. Europe will be uninhabitable. STOP THE WAR NOW! Trump understands it, Elon understands that; only European politicians don’t…
