We got your back, New York!

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

- reads from teleprompter
- immediately starts with October 7th
- still won’t call it a genocide
- says he doesn’t know enough about what’s happening
- makes no apology to Macklemore or addresses dropping him from the tour
- doesn’t mention where his donation will be going to
- doesn’t encourage anyone to donate
- won’t say Israel is the reason Gaza is suffering
- won’t say free Palestine
- only cries when he sees people showed up to the concert because that’s what he cares more about.
Fuck him.

Je résume (unpopular opinion) :
- Dario qui doit introduire Anthropic en bourse sur un marché à sec de liquidité émet l'idée de ralentir sur l'IA parce que Claude, il est trop fort et il va tuer la planète.
- Sam qui a le même problème que Dario se dit que c'est pas con parce que ça va finir par se voir que les centaines de milliards annoncés n'existent pas vraiment et qu'il faudra vite trouver autre chose pour refourguer sa dette.
- Elon qui doit diluer ses investisseurs sur des mois d'unlock de $SPCX saute sur l'occasion, comme ça Grok aura plus de temps pour Groker en orbite.
Bref avant d’imaginer qu’un Skynet s’est échappé du labo, je regarderais aussi les calendriers financiers des 3 gugus. Je ne prétends pas que leurs inquiétudes sont bidon. Je dis que sauver l’humanité et préserver ses intérêts financiers ne sont pas nécessairement deux activités incompatibles. Leur unanimité mérite qu’on regarde les deux.

An alternative hypothesis:
- model performance is plateauing
- compute is getting much more expensive
- AI data centers are massively unpopular
- slowing down AI development is a way to explain slowing progress, reduce spending, and try to regain some goodwill.
- This is an effort to save the IPO not humanity.
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.

Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...
Somewhere along the way we veered off course and got stuck in the the most unserious alternative timeline
