Anthropic to Newsom: courts should have power to block risky AI politi.co/4srtOHA
I’ve gotten to the point where I’m more excited for election day then any remaining Eagles games. Seasons over. Fire Nick.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned investorsthat his lab’s AI models could threaten humanity as he prepares for what may be the largest initial public offering of all time. Doomsday warnings don’t matter a lick to the AI bulls on Wall Street.

Things I’m curious about: Who is George W. Bush voting for in Texas? How can we be sure that AI agents aren’t being deployed to mess with the election results? I wonder if Cheesecake Factory’s mojitos are still as good as they were 20 years ago.

from @politico Tuesday: Farmers won’t get President Trump’s promised $8 billion in fuel payments before Election Day
Late Nov or Dec is the earliest, likely later. There’s also not enough $ in the USDA account right now, so Congress will have to approve new $. A fight to come.
Scoop: Top Republicans are banking on Trump’s promised $8 billion for farmers to stem GOP bleeding in farm states. It’s worked in the past just ahead of Election Day.
But the internal, taxpayer funded USDA account Trump is tapping doesn’t actually have enough $$ in it right now to make the direct payments. Congress will have to approve the new funds (a fight ahead in a GOP pkg or bipartisan year-end bill) or the admin will have to take it from another program, per Trump officials.
Farmers won’t get any payments until late Nov or Dec at the earliest, likely later. The disaster aid-like payment structure is coming later in Nov.
Farm state Hill Rs are still planning to push for another +$12 billion in year-end package. They've said farmers need +$50 million in aid to recover from the hit of tariffs and high fuel costs.

Dems face a post-midterms clash over trade.
Follow Trump’s lead or shift into free-market mode?
“There’s going to be a lot of debates about this as we move forward,” says one Biden-era trade official. “It’s really messy right now.”

NEWS: I obtained a recording of Peter Thiel's latest Nashville Antichrist lectures. In his third talk delivered on Oct. 12, he breaks with the Trump admin on the U.S. war with Iran. “I think we should not have done it,” he said. “There were a lot of mistakes that were made.”
