Los Angeles Lakers owner Mark Walter and Thrive Capital founder Josh Kushner have agreed on all outstanding terms of the sale of the Lakers at a $12.5 billion valuation, sources close to the negotiations told ESPN. The two men met in person Thursday at Walter’s home in Florida to finalize the transaction and are expected to sign the formal agreement soon, those sources said. Once the agreement is signed, it will be reviewed by the NBA. That process generally takes some time as the league reviews financing and ownership structure. Sources close to the negotiations said that Kushner has assured Walter he’s raised all the money necessary to complete the sale. espn.com/nba/story/_/id/5033…

FWIW, I spoke to a source w/ knowledge of the deal & fundraising around it that said this isn’t true. Most NBA majority stake transactions take anywhere from 3-6 months to close. We’re in month 2.5 lol

Josh Kushner is still $5-6 BILLION short on the Lakers deal and Bob Iger is only putting in "like 63 million dollars," per @BillSimmons "I think they're using the Buss family as scapegoats for why the deal's dragging along, but he can't find the money."

Rob Pelinka says he's had introductory meetings with Josh Kushner and Bob Iger despite the sale not being finalized. He said day-to-day operations haven't been affected and praised the team's front office buildout.

I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we've had at OpenAI in recent weeks. Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We'll have more to share soon.

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training. You can read the full post here: darioamodei.com/post/we-must…

Why AI capabilities must advance at a pace that safety can match, and a three-step plan: embedded evaluators, democratic and global coordination.
