My comments towards Grandpa Bernie and his anger towards a trillionaire and billionaires. Hypocrisy is a very real thing.

This reads like an anti-democrat attack ad

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:

— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.

— Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)

— A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.

— In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.”

— In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.

— In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.

— The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.

— Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

When most companies' opening remarks during their IPOs were about profit, today it hits something different.

It is hope.

The once-inspiring future that excited us when we were young but that we dropped after growing up—we have found it again.

Don’t worry about Elon becoming rich with his own money.

Worry about politicians becoming rich with your money.

The El Segundo Times were very eager to dox where my children sleep; they thought that was newsworthy. Have they reported on the arsonists who set fire to my office in the middle of my election?

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

Net worths of politicians whining about Elon Musk’s fortune from SpaceX:

🔵 Ro Khanna: $250+ million (inherited)
🔵 Gavin Newsom: $30 million
🔵 Elizabeth Warren: $12 million
🔵 Bernie Sanders: $5 million (plus 3 houses)

A bunch of virtue signaling hypocrites.

[Jeffery Mead @the_jefferymead]

A lot of democrats crying about the fact that Elon is now a Trillionaire while ignoring all the value creation that’s required in order to get there.

We need to keep these people from controlling the government. They will stifle progress and innovation in this country if we let them.

SpaceX alone just created over 5,000 millionaires while you have lifted zero people out of poverty or created zero millionaires (besides yourself)

$SPCX - CBOE TO LAUNCH SPACEX OPTIONS AS EARLY AS TUESDAY

Cboe Global Markets expects to list options tied to SpaceX as soon as Tuesday, pending regulatory and clearing approvals. The contracts would allow traders to bet on or hedge SpaceX share price moves. Cboe says it anticipates strong demand, citing rising retail options activity, especially in high-profile tech names like Tesla. The exchange also expects future options listings for OpenAI and Anthropic after their IPOs.
