👀Here's the severed fiber line ... the backup to the circuit that failed sending air travel into a tailspin…. DOT blamed Amtrak. Amtrak blamed NJ Transit. NJ Transit acknowledges a work crew cut the line - BUT NJT is investigating because it says the utility markings on this project were off by 10 feet. NJT says 36 of 56 severed fiber lines have been repaired and should be back on line soon

Alex Karp’s read? The ai firms are trying to get nationalized. “When you have unlimited liability, the only way to deal with it would be to go to the government and say, 'We'll give you 50% of our business.' Of course, the value of the business will collapse first when you do that, collapse another time when you have people on the board, collapse another time... it might even collapse the whole market." "The only way to deal with this kind of liability is to go to the government and say, 'Nationalize us, please.'"
Palantir CEO Alex Karp says Nationalizing AI might "collapse the whole market" "When you have unlimited liability, the only way to deal with it would be to go to the government and say, 'We'll give you 50% of our business.' Of course, the value of the business will collapse first when you do that, collapse another time when you have people on the board, collapse another time... it might even collapse the whole market." "The only way to deal with this kind of liability is to go to the government and say, 'Nationalize us, please.'" "What is the first lesson in poker and in life? If you think the other person's the mark, you're the mark. You are the mark and it will be nationalized simply because of the liability issues they're talking about." Via @CNBC

An interesting counterpoint to the AI fears being talked about:
EISMAN: “These companies are very nervous. They realize that there are no moats around their business .. they're trying to manufacture a crisis that will create regulation — that they think they can then manipulate to create .. the duopoly that they want."

How does cutting off trade with countries generate $1 Trillion+ in revenue? The President expected to depart the White House shortly and will hopefully be asked by traveling pool reporters to explain the economics of that.
