Here's your weekend homework from your health coach:
Stop quitting on yourself.
You only take steps toward the big goals when you stop stopping.
Train the quit out of you.
#consisteny
Ahem, let's do vaccine manufacturers next.
Yeah I want the latest medical treatments same as I want the latest AI models... if they are safe.
The administration has spoken.
@SecScottBessent is matter of fact about this — and correct.
Humans are responsible for AI *software* they are creating AND the users of that software are responsible for how they use it.
in the huggingface instance the creator and user are the same
If you need slow down, slow down… but the federal government expects software companies to make [ checks notes ] safe software. ✅
And if you make AI software and it’s very powerful, suggest knowing your customer and making them authenticate in order to buy and use it (like we do with trucks and cars and many chemicals)
100% this.
Just do it.
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.

Hey, @elonmusk, we have a Tesla Model X but we can’t really fit both parents and five kids, and the new SUV only has six seats. On behalf of those who are doing our best to repopulate the West, any chance Tesla can make a minivan or SUV with 7 or 8 seats?

John Adams, writing to Abigail, about the Continental Congress' vote in favor of independence on July 2, 1776:
"The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. -- I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. -- Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not."

This @nytimes op-ed completely misses the point on the purpose of marriage and children and completely misrepresents my views in the process. The entire article is laced with viewing family through the lens of money and career as if those things bring fulfillment and purpose. When you’re on your death bed, your money and your career won’t be whispering in your ear “I love you” as you take your last breath. The material goods and fortune of this world mean nothing when we go to our eternal resting place.
The author also conveniently leaves out the part of my Hillsdale commencement speech where I said “marry young, not rushed, but young.”
We serve a God of order and when you live a life ordered there’s a double portion of grace. Meaning marriage first, then kids, and everything else. Timing matters because life is shorter than you might think, and you never know what could happen. The point is, don’t put it off. Don’t rush it or force it if it’s not right, but don’t put it off.
I say this from a place of personal reflection. My marriage with Charlie and our babies are the biggest blessings of my life. I was 32 when I married Charlie, which in my mind is neither young to start a family or old. You just run up against statistics at that point and it just so happened to be the Lord’s timing and He still blessed us with two beautiful children. But I wish we met and were able to start our life and family together much sooner.
There is no such thing as perfect timing to have kids. Financial struggles are a part of life, but the problem is a lot of Americans are self-surviving, not self-sacrificing, and they expect to live a very distinct lifestyle based on what they see online. When Charlie encouraged young people to have more kids than they can afford, he wasn’t saying to recklessly bring a child into this world and have them on welfare. He was saying children aren’t a luxury item to have once you meet a certain tax bracket threshold. You don’t need a mansion in order to build a family.
It’s easy when you’re young to think that you have all the time in the world, but it’s a hard fact of life and science that that’s simply not the case. If you've met your person and you’re checking off boxes based on societal expectations of dating for a couple years, then a long engagement, then adjusting to married life before having children, you’re wasting valuable time. Getting pregnant in your late 30s and 40s is usually a lot harder than in your late 20s. Not always, but it’s a hard reality for many couples.
The inverted priorities of our current culture encourages women to believe that getting married and having children are weights on an otherwise rich and carefree existence. And yet, young Americans have never felt less happy or carefree. Children are not an obstacle, they're a gift from the Lord. They give life so much more meaning than you could ever imagine. When we stop looking at marriage and children as barriers to a happy life, maybe then there’ll be progress in this country.
I cannot express how much I love this. Perfect foil to JCrew Obama.
Now that we know the political significance of my $8.75 coral maternity dress from Old Navy, can’t wait to hear what the New York Times has to say about my elastic-waistband pants and compression socks! In the meantime, enjoy my pregnancy fashion (or lack thereof) and a good story with your kids on Storytime with the Second Lady.

There was a stunning result in the Oklahoma State Superintendent race last night
Everyone believed it was going to be an Adam Pugh vs John Cox runoff or maybe Toni Hasenbsck
Instead, it’s Dr. James Taylor vs Robert Franklin
Let me explain the huge difference between the two men Dr. James Taylor is like Mike Lee and Robert Franklin is like Lisa Murkowski.
Franklin is a nice man but he is petty Anti-Trump from everything I have heard.
Taylor has run against Tom Cole in the past. He is the Jake Merrick candidate in this race.
I have no idea about Taylor's fundraising but we all need to vote for him. I have a feeling the only reason that Franklin ran as a Republican is that it’s Oklahoma.
State Senator Adam Pugh came in 5th. His campaign was awful. Cox came in 3rd. I didn’t understand the type for him. Toni came in 4th.
Again I don’t see anyone who saw this result coming.
P.S. I voted for Dr. James Taylor
I stated my peace on this topic not long ago and after considering all the candidates, the person I feel who is truly the honest and best man in the race for governor is Charles McCall.
He has real business experience and isn't running away from or hiding his political experience behind a false and utterly irrelevant "outsider" label.
He has run and won, not lost his races.
He isn't paying someone I consider a highly questionable character for campaign advice to get the "in" for a Trump endorsement.
He has proven leadership in and out of politics and, more importantly, proven successes in both places.
Character
Proven Leadership
Genuine
Honest
And yes, experience in the system that is valuable for getting things done that really need doing.
I hope you join me in supporting him today.

I’m honored to have the support of Major Ed Pulido, a true American hero who has dedicated his life to serving our country and fighting for our veterans.
Our men and women in uniform, veterans, and first responders deserve leaders who will always have their backs. As Governor, I’ll fight every day to make Oklahoma the most veteran-friendly state in the nation.
Thank you, Major Pulido, for your service, your sacrifice, and your support.

Mike Mazzei’s attacks on Charles McCall’s tax record don’t match the facts.
As Speaker, Charles McCall inherited one of the worst economic situations in Oklahoma history thanks to Mazzei, and delivered real results for Oklahoma families:
• Saved Oklahoma families nearly $2,000 through conservative fiscal leadership
• Balanced the state budget
• Passed the largest tax cut in Oklahoma history
The record is clear: Charles McCall put Oklahoma taxpayers first.
Mike Mazzei puts Mike Mazzei first.

Some of the most damaging messaging in today’s culture is that you need to be “ready” to have kids, that they’re expensive, and that they’ll “limit” you.
Anti-child rhetoric.
You’ll never be ready, they don’t have to be expensive, and they expand your world.
Your ancestors had children in war & famine & want.
Have lots of children, enjoy them as gifts from God.
