The Manimahesh Yatra 2026 was temporarily suspended on Thursday morning after up to four inches of snowfall was recorded around Manimahesh Kailash, Dal Lake and Gauri Kund in Himachal Pradesh’s Chamba district. The yatra administration halted the pilgrimage citing bad weather and challenging conditions along the route. Pilgrims have been advised not to proceed until weather conditions improve and further instructions are issued. Authorities said the situation is being continuously monitored, with devotees’ safety being the top priority. #ManimaheshYatra# #ManimaheshKailash# #Chamba# #HimachalPradesh# #Snowfall#

Chamath on Obama’s AI Warning: Follow the Money President Obama last week: “If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI. That's a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing.” @Chamath: “This is a very important moment for a very simple reason, which is we, as in the world, are about to endow three, four, five, six companies with about $10T of wealth. And what Obama knows very well is that most of those companies are overwhelmingly left-leaning. And what he also knows is that there is a huge portion of that money that will then get put into philanthropic and charitable causes that then he, and the people around him, will be beneficiaries of. That is the truth. We already know this because we know that some of these frontier corporations actually ask you to stand up DAFs and have a portion of your stock that you're willing to pledge. So this money is going to go to things other than consumption or savings. And so it's going to go into PACs, it's going to go into political movements, and (Democrats) stand to disproportionately benefit. So this has nothing to do with prosperity. This is a very simple political calculus. If you freeze frame the economy the way it is today, a handful of organizations that will disproportionately be able to affect the Democrats will win. They will capture the lion's share of the economic gains, and then they will help the Democrats win power. That's all this is.”

Chamkaur Singh is an illegal alien from India, and he is in the Grand County Jail in Moab, Utah, with an ICE detainer. Moab police stopped him on Sept. 1 because he was driving a semi 20 miles over the limit. During that stop the officer identified him as the man on a nationwide fugitive warrant for homicide, vehicular manslaughter. He was booked that day. ICE lodged the detainer the next day. The crash occurred on March 29 in Ontario, California. California Highway Patrol was already working a two-car wreck when his semi, in the slow lane, rear-ended one of those cars. One passenger was killed. Another person in that car was critically hurt. The truck then hit a second vehicle and killed a second person. Seven vehicles were involved, and two more people were injured. California gave him a commercial driver's license (CDL) on May 10, 2025, and it is still active. The record on that license already shows three convictions, for an improper lane or location, following too closely, and speeding. He says he left India in December 2020, went through the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico, and came into Arizona in August 2021. Border Patrol arrested him. The Biden administration released him anyway. He killed two people in March, kept the license Newsom's California handed him, and was still driving a semi in Utah on Sept. 1. ICE has a detainer on him now. The license is not pulled. How many more Americans must die due to non-citizen and illegal alien CDL holders?

Chamath Called the SaaS Comeback on May 15th: Salesforce Is Up 50% Since! @Jason: “Chamath, what's your take on this? You've been pretty critical of the SaaS space in previous episodes.” @chamath: “I think the high end of the market where Marc (@Benioff) operates, where the large monoliths operate, is quite safe. What people are finding is, ‘Hey, hold on a second. This is a lot harder than we thought.’ It's not like boop, beep, boop, put in a prompt and beep, bop, boop, it all works. It's not how it works. I think we're a little oversold. Now, I think this consolidation and the re-rating can happen in the opposite direction. So what is the opposite trade? The opposite trade is who has constructive net dollar retention, who has negative churn that's been really predictable, which is a way of saying who has the best relationships. Those guys I think are positioned to crush.” What to look for in SaaS companies in the AI Era: -- constructive net dollar retention -- predictable negative churn -- the best relationships $CRM

Chamath: “If you see the 30 year at 6%, it is the beginning of a death spiral.” @chamath: “We are supposed to be in the middle of an enormous financial build-out to support AI. And if you go all the way back, like 100 years, the Industrial Revolution, the Grand Bargain, all of this stuff, the United States government was the balance sheet. They are the ones that were able to step in. And unfortunately, because of its financial situation, the US government is not able to do that. That's why, thank God, we have companies like Nvidia, and Google, and Microsoft, and Meta, and Amazon who take on that burden. There's so much chirping, by the way, on the internet about the balance sheet of Nvidia and blah, blah, blah, and I think people completely miss that these guys are putting the entire US economy on their back.”

Chamath: Silicon Valley has completely lost what made it great. It was a place for weirdos, for people at the fringes, for people that really were idealistic. And it has become something that's far from that now.

Chamath to a room of Stanford MBAs: "get the fucking money. I'm serious." he says capital is a moral imperative. the money gets made and allocated either way, so if you have a worldview and none of it behind you, your view doesn't compete. "in the absence of capital, you're irrelevant. with capital, you're powerful."
