Past tech like nuclear and biotech saw safety fears spark complex rules only large firms could afford, creating barriers that entrenched incumbents via capture. AI labs push similar mandatory evals and licensing they already handle, raising costs for rivals. History shows this often slows innovation overall, as with nuclear's Western stagnation, while concentrating power among leaders.

You can’t stop ASI by quitting your AI job. Doesn’t work. Someone else will replace you. What you actually have to do is start a safer AI lab. Which doesn’t work. Someone else will move faster. So what you actually have to do is pass a law. Which doesn’t work. Some other country won’t ban it. So what you actually have to do is sign an international agreement. Which doesn’t work. Some other country will break it. So what you actually have to do is conquer the world. Which only works if you have ASI.

A compilation of @TimJDillon ad reads would be a funnier than most comedian’s Netflix special.

You’re about to make more money than you’ve ever made in your life. Claim this energy.

Your rich phase starts this September

a nigga is really about to change his whole life.

Just downloaded pump.fun to see what all the hype is about. Not a big meme coin or crypto guy. But I must say, S tier UX design. Wow. You guys really nailed every single detail and aspect you needed to. It’s clear you guys invested heavily in this and it obviously paid off. Congrats @NoahTweedale. You really knocked it out of the park.

Called it. This unannounced rugging and baiting from providers has to stop. At least say something and stop ignoring everyone like we are just imagining it. I’m unsure what the playbook even is here. Just hope it blows over and we just accept this behavior from labs? @thsottiaux

codex's usage limits are draining noticeably slower the issue seems to have been resolved nice work team 👍🏻

Claude has officially lost the mandate from heaven. Imagine giving up a lead that massive. Ultimately this is great for us end-users and concerning news for any one with stake in Anthropic. The IPO will not be the homerun once thought.

It is absolutely astonishing what Israel has been able to achieve in the West in the last 24-48 hours. First, they made the US announce they will give Saudi Arabia nuclear technologies and materials, only to then condition it on joining the Open Zionist Whore Program, aka 'Abraham Accords'. Second, they passed a legislation in the House of Representatives in the US that will make the US military a subdivision of the IDF. Third, they got France and the UK to support the expansion of the war against Iran, with both countries evacuating their diplomatic staff from Tehran. Fourth, they installed a new puppet in Britain that immediately quadrupled the UK's involvement in this war: yes to use of British bases everywhere; a reported yes to participating in demining the Persian Gulf, and what looks like a general agreement to support the war effort in every way possible. This is only the 5% of that we can publicly see; imagine all the other 95%. We live in an entirely, 100% Israeli-made theater production. Every event and every news coverage have been carefully curated to advance Israel's ambitions. The power that this country has, 3 years into the worst televised catastrophe in human history, is simply staggering. It is almost unnatural, almost supernatural (only it's not). It also tells us that we're very close to the end. They are rushing like this because all the windows and doors are closing. They have to be visibly awkward, hasty and clumsy. They have to expose themselves. The one power that won't play along according to the provided script is proving an insurmountable obstacle, and the whole house of cards is shaking, and soon will come down. Israel's unnatural power over the West will be the doom of both. Because Khamenei and his people saw all this 40 years ago, and they prepared like no one ever prepared for anything (after milenia of civilizational self-reliance, independence, and dignity). I don't know why anyone watches any dumb movie. Reality now is arguably the most fascinating thing ever put up

The Barnstable County Assembly on Cape Cod, mostly comprised of anti-White leftists, was forced to take public comments yesterday on a new measure that would hamstring ICE from enforcing immigration law in the area. A local patriot managed to show up between work shifts and delivered an incredible speech.

I started using Codex with 5.4 like 6 weeks ago when Claude decided to nerf Opus randomly. I never went back. It's leaps and bounds ahead of CC. But now I feel like I'm about to go through the same thing with @thsottiaux and @OpenAI. Way too many people are switching over and likely blowing through their retail compute budget. I really hope to be proven wrong but I feel it's only a matter of time before Codex and 5.5 get the reasoning and rate limit nerf. Seems like keeping both subscriptions live for the next 6 months to see how everything shakes out is the move.

The ADL is a hate group

Legend. Absolute fucking legend. Trump has shown he can be manipulated. This might be possible.

This is sad. Poor dude.

"Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell" -- Jake Tapper reads Trump's Truth Social post on air

Hello!?!? Why are we not talking about this people?

Because they don't. He's clearly a closeted homosexual obsessed with attention. That's why he's humiliating himself for content. Anyone with a brain knows this guy isn't a political guiding light. But he's so consumed with the attention he just repeats whatever talking point his handlers feed him. This is the definition of a politically useful idiot.

When Charlie Kirk was murdered, those of us on the conservative side rightly chastised those of our political adversaries who cheered and celebrated his death. We accused them--again rightly--of shameful callousness and of polluting public discourse and coarsening social life. What President Trump does here merits the same chastisement, for the same reasons.
