Europe lagging hopelessly behind is a Good Thing Actually because if our sacred administrative class bans it then it must be a Bad Thing.

I don't think people realize how fun the average day at Palantir is. Genuinely a lot of this.
We're hiring right now. If you believe in AI Sovereignty, shoot me a DM.

“Federal student loans are not a welfare program for failing college programs.”
This is fake news at its finest.
First off, we’re not ‘banning’ any program. The federal government doesn’t set curriculum or programs.
Here’s the truth: we are holding colleges accountable for leaving students worse off than if they never enrolled. Too many graduates report delaying major life milestones like buying a home or starting a family. Why? Because low return-on-investment programs saddled them with unmanageable debt that was never going to translate into a real-world job.
Federal student loans are not a welfare program for failing college programs. American students deserve education and training pathways that prepare them for the workforce – and transparency about programs that will never pay off.

If the federal gov is going to be in the loan business, this is exactly the kind of cross-organization data science I hope they’d be doing.

An open-source project with a healthy relationship with AI contributions. Hats off to the pnpm maintainers.
It's the end of the week. If you have some tokens lying around, maybe spend them on open source! pnpm still has 629 open issues on GitHub.

.@SecScottBessent confirms: Palantir's Alex Karp was right
"A sitting employee came out and said there's a 10% chance of an extinction-level event."
"But then the labs also said, 'Take the liability off of our hands.'"
"We will not do that."
"It is humans who are responsible, not the AI. The Hugging Face incident—that is responsibility of OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents."
"What the President was saying is: we cannot say, 'We absolve you of responsibility, and the government's going to take responsibility.' These labs need to take responsibility for themselves."
"They can slow down any time they want to."
Via @CNBC
Palantir CEO Alex Karp on why he believes AI labs want to be nationalized:
"First you migrate all the IP to your business, and then because you need capped liability, both vis-à-vis the business and vis-à-vis the dangers, you've got to migrate the business to the government."
"That is the core philosophy of the EA movement imposed upon a business."

On top of the first-order horrors, the reputational impact “assisted dying” (murder) will have on doctors and nurses will be immense.
More people will die because the remaining honorable doctors and nurses will no longer enjoy the useful deference of prior generations.
Our 83-year-old Christian grandmother was euthanised against her will under Canada's assisted dying system - she died covered in blood with her hands clasped in prayer trib.al/vqrDMuf

Many reasons for this beyond AI.
1. Offshoring of entry-level positions (pulling the ladder up, effectively)
2. Media and schools pitched CS as a get-rich-quick scheme. Flooding the entry-level market with unserious people.
3. More lower paying CS jobs as CS roles become more common outside of big tech.
4. Schools are struggling to produce good CS graduates at scale.

Trump fundamentally understands Nominative Determinism and the power of the Name. This seems strange to those that don’t.
“Supreme Intelligence,” probably because of its relationship to the Supreme Court, is losing badly to both “Superior” and “Extreme Intelligence.” Therefore, we are going to take “Supreme Intelligence” OUT, deleting it as a qualifier, and let you vote for the Final Two: Superior Intelligence, or Extreme Intelligence. A fresh Vote begins now! President DONALD J. TRUMP
