Makes total sense that congressman leading the inquiry into Jensen’s alleged foreign ties is the same guy who showed up at the Capitol wearing a foreign army uniform. He’s an expert at foreign ties!

We are watching another phase of the Holocaust in Gaza. Tens of thousands of tents flooded in a matter of hours. Children buried alive when the ground collapsed beneath them. Families who survived the bombs now have nowhere to sleep, surrounded by sewage, exposed to disease and the freezing cold.
Israel has destroyed the infrastructure necessary for human survival and continues to obstruct the materials needed to rebuild it. This is what extermination looks like beyond the bombs. Through displacement, exposure, disease and the systematic destruction of the conditions necessary to sustain life.
I don’t even know what else there is to say anymore. We have watched every conceivable horror unfold before our eyes and still allowed it to continue. We have failed Gaza. We have failed humanity.

For the last 10 years, Dems have debated whether the party should embrace economic populism or moderation. But voters don’t necessarily see those ideas as contradictory. They want someone willing to challenge concentrated wealth AND someone they trust to govern competently.

The horse carriage industry is coming to an end in New York City.
Our administration will make sure workers and owners are protected and the horses are safe.

The inability of the left to distinguish between an imperfect ally and an enemy is the height of privilege and will be our downfall

Please don’t tell us that October 7 was necessary so the world would finally “care” about Palestine.
You didn’t pay the price of the world’s attention. We did.
More than 74,000 people killed. 9,500 missing. 71,846 orphans. 64,413 widows. 118,876 elderly people in need. 16,963 people with disabilities. 258,927 displaced families. More than 1.5 million facing food insecurity, and 530,000 families completely dependent on aid.
And for what?
So someone living safely in Siberia or India can skip McDonald’s once a week? March for two hours a month? Put a watermelon emoji in their bio? Tattoo “Palestine” on their arm and feel proud that the world has finally “woken up”?
What a fucking bargain.
We bury our children, and you get awareness.
We lose our homes, and you get a movement.
We lose our families, our bodies, and our futures, and then you sit somewhere safe and explain to us why it was all worth it.
It is like asking a poor family to burn one of their children so the neighborhood finally notices they are poor.
Or asking a sick man to cut off his own leg so people finally believe he is in pain.
This is insane.
And I am tired of people who lost absolutely nothing telling us what we gained.
We have had enough.
Give me back the smallest shoe of the smallest child we buried. Give a mother back her son. Give a child back his father. Give us back one home, one family, one ordinary morning from the lives we had.
You can’t.!
So please, spare me this talk about how October 7 made the world care about Palestine.
We already knew we were suffering. We didn’t need to lose everything so you could finally notice.
And if this is what it took for the world to “wake up,” then honestly,
To hell with this awakening.!

If you’re protesting and blaming *checks notes* Zohran Mamdani for the Gaza genocide you may, you just may, need to check yourself into a mental health facility.

It has always been my view that prestige and "intelligence" are social constructs that continually adapt to the things our tools are not yet good at. I think theory building and defining new problems will be marks of prestige and "intelligence" until the next tool breakthrough

NEW ANALYSIS: Global fossil-fuel CO2 is set to fall by around 0.5% in 2026 amid the ongoing Hormuz crisis
We've all see the scare stories about a "return to coal" – but the "demand destruction" for oil is even bigger

Very funny that the routine line about the Treaty of Westphalia being the beginning of a "modern state system based on sovereignty" was apparently just anti-Habsburg propaganda, useful to nationalists across Europe, which 20th century scholars happily endorsed.

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.
