Beautiful afternoon 5 mile run in Alpine.

Jensen Huang's favorite key is backspace. He said on All-In that the best software is the smallest software. My AI agents did not get the memo. Ask one to fix a typo and it writes 400 new lines and a config file.

“ if we can pressure lawmakers to create guard rails, I can assure you they will be able to stop me.” 😂

We still can't get AI to book a hotel room. But it's going to kill us all by 2030. That was the doomer pushback on All-In this week, and it's fair. My agents get stuck on a 2FA prompt. I'm sleeping fine.

“We do not condone what we are doing. “I urge you to urge me to stop.” Seriously funny.

This is pretty cool for Ryan to do this.

Now do one for @tomkarren and make a show 99% complaining about Delta. 1% everything else.

Seems right.

Banning AI to keep everyone safe is like banning shipbuilding to keep the ocean safe. The other guy just keeps building boats and sails right past you. Best regulation take I heard on All-In, and it was aimed straight at the Bernie crowd.

Anthropic can no longer confidently say its frontier models won't help someone with dangerous biological research. That admission is from the company that sells itself as the safe one. Read it twice. And yet it refuses to help write a bot that “might” break terms of service for some random website.

I’ve been Diamond for 10 years now and 1.5m miler. And I’m super mad about @Delta and their wifi. It’s ALWAYS broken and slow. And yet the CEO says no to the solution.

He lives to troll Trump. And he's occasionally good at it. But not so effective at governing CA.

Sick custom wrap job on this cybertruck.
