[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Legacy Media types are calling this Alex Karp interview a “crash-out” so that’s your first clue that he is actually saying something extremely insightful. He is articulating what real “AI safety” looks like in the enterprise.

Not abstract alignment research or certification by a government-run DMV for AI. Real AI safety for businesses is the ability to control their own data, model weights, and compute — so a frontier lab can’t hoover up their proprietary knowledge and turn it into their next product.

As Karp explains, technical customers want “control over their compute, their models, their data stack, and their alpha. They want to know they own the means of production, and it’s not being transferred to someone else.”

Don’t think that can happen? Just look at Figma. According to The Information, Anthropic “blindsided” its then-business partner with the launch of Claude Design. Figma’s founder said Anthropic had not been “consistently honest” with them. Anthropic’s chief product officer had even served on Figma’s board until three days before the launch of Claude Design. Figma’s stock has fallen sharply this year while Anthropic’s valuation has surged.

This isn’t an isolated example. Anthropic has launched Claude Science, Claude Security, Claude Legal, and of course Claude Code — each expanding into categories previously served by companies building on top of their models. The pattern is consistent: watch where value is being created, then move in directly. Dominate the model layer, then use that position to capture the most lucrative verticals.

Dario has argued that open source models powerful enough to compete with Anthropic are “dangerous.” But dangerous to whom? Not to enterprises that want to retain control over their data and workflows. Dangerous to a business model that benefits from customers having few real alternatives at the model layer.

As Karp exposes, true enterprise safety isn’t trusting that a lab’s future roadmap won’t include your business. It’s retaining the ability to choose — at the model layer — who gets to see and use your alpha.

Here we go.

This is the 9-month recap of my "The Future Belongs to People Who Do Things" talk.

Inside:
- The problems with AGENTS . md
- The problems with LLM model selectors
- Best practices for LLM context windows
- AI usage mandates at employers
- Employment performance review dynamic changes
- The world's first vibe-coded emoji RPN calculator in COBOL
- The world's first vibe-coded compiler (@cursedlang)

and a final urge to do things, as this is perhaps the last time I deliver this talk. It's been nine months since the invention of tool-calling LLMs, and VC subsidies have already started to disappear.

If people haven't taken action, they're falling behind because it's becoming increasingly cost-prohibitive to undertake personal upskilling.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

Writing code was never the bottleneck in software engineering. LLMs made it cheaper to write, not easier to understand, review, or maintain. That’s still the bottleneck. Let’s not pretend it isn’t.

📢 Introducing the hackHER Network, the first-ever women-only hacker community built for women by women.

👾 What to expect?
✨ Real mentorship (no gatekeeping)
✨ Skill-building workshops & challenges
✨ Career development and collabs
✨ And, of course, memes. So many memes.

Why now? Because fewer than 13% of ethical hackers identify as women, and we’re ready to change that 💪

It’s #WomensHistoryMonth, Wicked6 is around the corner, and we’re ready to make HERstory. If you want in, click the link below! 💜🧡

A historical day for CSS 😀🎉

If you write any components used and/or styled by others, you know how huge this is!

background: if(style(--variant: success), var(--green));

Even if you don’t, this will allow things like:
padding: if(var(--2xl), 1em, var(--xl) or var(--m), .5em);

TWITTER FILES - BRAZIL

Brazil is engaged in a sweeping crackdown on free speech led by a Supreme Court justice named Alexandre de Moraes.

De Moraes has thrown people in jail without trial for things they posted on social media. He has demanded the removal of users from social media platforms. And he has required the censorship of specific posts, without giving users any right of appeal or even the right to see the evidence presented against them.

Now, Twitter Files, released here for the first time, reveal that de Moraes and the Superior Electoral Court he controls engaged in a clear attempt to undermine democracy in Brazil. They:

— illegally demanded that Twitter reveal personal details about Twitter users who used hashtags he did not like;

— demanded access to Twitter’s internal data, in violation of Twitter policy;

— sought to censor, unilaterally, Twitter posts by sitting members of Brazil’s Congress;

— sought to weaponize Twitter’s content moderation policies against supporters of then-president @jairbolsonaro

The Files show: the origins of the Brazilian judiciary’s demand for sweeping censorship powers; the court’s use of censorship for anti-democratic election interference; and the birth of the Censorship Industrial Complex in Brazil.

TWITTER FILES - BRAZIL was written by @david_agape_ @elivieira & @shellenberger

We presented these findings to de Moraes, to the Supreme Court (STF), and to the High Electoral Court (TSE). None responded.

Let’s get into it...
