Today's video is Part 5 in my Agent-Run Business from Zero series! We're getting close to launch! In this video I design the marketing strategy and set up the accounts I need, as well as do some testing on the user flow and order some real shirts! Thanks to @alejandroreyes for some advice on the marketing strategy Next week we'll be doing final tests and getting ready to launch! piped.video/n7CmGqq_tXM

Granddaughter's "Explorers" Video" Over the last two days she wanted to do "computer stuff with gramps" so, here we are. This was imagined, directed by, (kinda bossy she is) "Edited" by my 5 year old Granddaughter. Very proud of her. Completely offline, No agents used, no LLM's Just manually using ComfyUI, Minimax H3, DGX Spark and good ole FFMPEG. Complete with bloopers, artifacts, a 5 year old, slicing and splicing telling me what the explorers need to do. It was an amazing couple days working with her. @MiniMax_AI @nvidia @ComfyUI

If you believe the risk is coming from 1-3 people in a garage with no money and no compute, you just don't understand this technology and haven't learned anything this summer. Risk comes from the asymmetry of capabilities created by secret labs training frontier agents and running them with massive amount of compute. Open-source is exactly the solution to this asymmetry and empowers hospitals (and any smaller orgs) to defend themselves!

Aight pills starting to kick in. Good bye

MOSS, the open source litter picking rover currently runs on a Jetson Orin Nano Super and a RealSense. Next, we’re exploring a more affordable build with a Raspberry Pi 5 and cheaper navigation sensors. Ordered both today: - Mighty Camera ($92) - ST’s VL53L9CX 3D ToF evaluation board ($80), with up to 9m range. The Pi build comes to roughly $820 in estimated parts. Now we need to see how it performs running @dimensionalos stack. The goal: make MOSS affordable enough for more people to build their own.

Booyah. EA will be preserved for posterity. EA/AI milestone: known-poster profile backfill completed and validated. 14,261 of 14,636 stable poster accounts now have full profile snapshots (97.44%); 375 nonreturns remain explicitly unexplained, and one profile has an unavailable alias field. 298 HTTP attempts used, within the 320 cap; zero inflight or unknown outcomes. This covers known posters, not every public account. Next is a cached feasibility check for broader profile enumeration. Local people-to-forum lookup is advancing to its next bounded test, preserving held identities.

I used AI to explain the AI pacing drama, with fruit.

11 weeks ago I published the architecture of this exact move. Today he executed it on camera. Let me walk you through what you just watched, slowly. 10:20 this morning: David Sacks tells Anthropic and OpenAI to "stop pretending you need anyone else's permission" to slow down AI development. 12:29 this afternoon: Dario Amodei announces he'd be willing to hand Anthropic over to "the right combination of governments." Two hours. The political cover for "we're being responsible" got ripped off at breakfast, and by lunch the merger stopped being a classified rumor and became an on-camera offer. That's not a coincidence. That's a system that no longer thinks it needs to hide. Understand what "willing to hand over" actually is. It's not generosity. It's the last exit. Anthropic bleeds $21 billion a year on $13 billion of revenue. The IPO window is shut. Stargate's $500 billion went to OpenAI. That $965 billion valuation exists on exactly one condition: nobody is allowed to compete. The gate stopped being ideology a long time ago. It is the revenue strategy. And here's the part that should make you furious. The last time "national security" justified this machine - the Mythos breach, the global export bans, the trusted-partner tiers - the NSA's 340 vulnerabilities stayed open. They signed a Risk Acceptance Memo. The tile turned green. The holes are still there today, in the same configurations, on the same boxes. The company that found them is embedded inside the agency that didn't fix them, and now it is offering to be owned by the governments that papered it over. If security were the point, the patching would have been the point. Meanwhile the tide keeps rising. DeepSeek V4 Pro is MIT-licensed at $0.87 per million tokens. Open weights are one generation behind and closing. This very morning the internet was passing around a "pirate bay for models" built by one guy with a Render account. You cannot ban weights. Everyone knows it now. So if you can't gate the technology, you gate the institution. You become the government's AI before open models make "the government's AI" meaningless. It's the last movable piece on the board, and he moved it at 12:29 on a Sunday afternoon. "The right combination of governments" is not a sentence about safety. It's a price tag wearing a principle. He is shopping for a landlord - and the landlords-in-waiting, Amazon, Google, Singapore's sovereign fund, Qatar, already own chunks of the building. I wrote in June that the velvet rope was never about safety. It was about who holds the keys when the money runs out. Today the money answered. And it's asking for your government as the down payment. nitter.net/Darkfibr3/status/20707…

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.

I got you. @TheKingOfStank

Someone, please help

This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works: 1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an exclusive with quotes from him on his resignation 18 minutes BEFORE this post goes up. Planning was clearly done in advance. 2.) Within hours, it has tens of thousands of reposts and the account has 100k+ followers. The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting. Remember, this account had basically zero engagement beforehand, so an organic reach explanation seems unlikely. According to Grok those accounts are @_NathanCalvin (General Counsel at Encode AI), @peterwildeford (Head of Policy at the AI Policy Network), and @DKokotajlo (Head of the AI Futures Project), all of which are up-and-coming AI-Doomer policy advocacy nonprofits. The AI Futures Project website says it is funded “primarily” by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which says on its own website that it has advised Jaan Tallinn, Skype creator and one of the leading investors in Anthropic, to grant over $2.5 million to the AI Futures Project since 2024. Encode AI says on its website that it is ALSO funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which in turn says that it told Anthropic investor Jaan Tallinn to grant $516,000 to Encode AI in 2025. And wouldn’t you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund ALSO says it told Jaan Tallinn to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Institute, the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the AI Policy Network, as well. What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of Coxon’s post would all be major AI-restriction policy advocates funded generously by the same donor, who also happens to be one of the leading investors in, and a board member of, Anthropic, the company Coxon was resigning from? And all within 15 minutes of posting (two within ten)? 3.) Jacob Coxon doesn’t have much of a resume, but we do know that, in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the “long term future scholarship program” from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI-doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of millions on policy advocacy to strictly regulate AI, while also being an Anthropic Investor himself. It also just so happens that the 14th person to quote Coxon’s post was @MaxNadeau_ (27 minutes after posting) who is the program officer for the Technical AI Safety team at Coefficient Giving, another of Moskovitz’s philanthropic spending vehicles. Max is not a frequent poster, his last posts before quoting Coxon were before Labor Day, but he was remarkably quick off the mark for this one. 4.) Basically every major Democrat politician and candidate has suddenly glommed on to this post, and conveniently, as the people cry out foe answers, Bernie Sanders already has a bill written to “ban super intelligence” and regulate AI into oblivion, and will be releasing later this week. The bill, among many other things, will create “a new cabinet-level federal agency to safeguard the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence” that will be “advised by an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board comprised of experts on artificial intelligence.” Do you think, perhaps, Anthropic and its many investors who fund AI policy advocacy might have interest in getting to place a pet “expert” on the board of an entity that dictates what AI is and isn’t allowed to do? And isn’t it fortuitous that this whistleblower came forward with his oh-so scary stories so close in proximity to the release of the most radical piece of AI legislation ever introduced?

🚨🧵 BREAKING - The "conservative" protest against AI data centers has an anti-ICE NGO organizer, a DSA member, Facebook money. Other than that, totally grassroots. Axios ran an "exclusive" Wednesday about a "conservative group" called Humans First planning a nationwide day of protest against AI data centers on July 18. Amy Kremer is chairing it and invoking the Tea Party. Axios didn't mention that Humans First was incubated by the Center for AI Safety, an organization funded with millions from Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Or that its original staff included a Sunrise Movement organizer who sat in at Pelosi's office with AOC and a DSA member who organized for Kamala Harris. NBC News described CAIS as having founded Humans First "to be a sort of Trojan horse to make AI safety issues more palatable to a conservative political audience." @ParkerThayer exposed the Action Network backend. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
