@MatthewChang America is a country of 300,000,000 people, who invented the airplane, integrated circuits and space flight. We'll be *plenty* good without importing millions of Javascript engineers (who don't actually know JS).

Eleven22 wasn’t playing today and the Holy Spirit was in the room. 6, count ‘em 6 baptism tanks and they were cranking across all 4 services today. 122 people went under the water at 7AM today, declaring the old self is dead and a new creation is born in Jesus Christ.

I suspect a lot of folks have wondered this at some point regarding Sentinel. So here is why: America is the economic engine of the west, without a strong, vibrant America there is no good future for humanity. its hard to do that when you are suffering $350B annual damage from invasive species. The hogs are the headline stat but there are 7 primary species we are working on. Secondly I have held a great love for the US since 1997 when I first visited, I have written about this at length in an article (you can find it via my profile) but the short version is a feeling of ambition and celebration of success that's just not available elsewhere, the anglo-sphere is deeply in its "tall poppy" stage and some of us just can't thrive in a society like that.

🚨BREAKING: Jensen Huang just EXPOSED Dario and Altman’s "Rogue AI" grift to avoid getting sued into oblivion under EXISTING law “Don't let this doomsday narrative cause somebody to relieve them of the laws that currently exist. Go and read between the lines. They're actually not asking for more laws; they're asking to be relieved of the laws we do have.” ABSOLUTE TRUTH NUKE

Allow me to interpret what’s happening. Anthropic is being audited. Anthropic desires to file an S-1, as they would like to go public. Therefore they need an audit. And by “they”, I mean the VC’s who invested in them. So “they” can exit their position and pass the bag to firemen, nurses, teachers and policemen. How does this go from the VC’s to the working man and woman? Because the size of the IPO will automatically qualify Anthropic for the Fortune 500 and the Dow Jones 100. Therefore, every working person with a 401k or pension will end up owning a little bit of Anthropic in their mutual funds. Teachers hold the bag, VC’s take the cash. Thank you, come again. Now back to the audit. The audit required is a PCAOB audit, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. This audit is what all public companies must comply with be on the stock market. Revenue recognition, expense classification, depreciation, related party transactions, etc. It’s there for consumer protection. This audit is TOUGH. It is INVASIVE. There is no way to lie your way through it. Any company that passes a PCAOB audit automatically earns my trust on finances. How do I know? Because I’ve been through it before. @ChangRobotics is 2 year PCAOB audited and currently underway for a 3 year audit. It’s brutal. The same as showing up as the valedictorian to your high school graduation, except you’re naked, and you have to walk on stage and deliver the speech. It’s rough. And I know many incredible founders that can’t pass one. Now, why would Anthropic be leaking all kind of weird statements lately about “self pacing” a slow down on AI (e.g. they are WAY behind on revenue), and profitable if they didn’t have expenses (e.g. we just learned for the first time what our expenses are, because we’re being audited). Because they were claiming NVIDIA discounts and Microsoft cloud credits as revenue. Because they had no clue what their expenses were, or why it even mattered. Because they had unlimited investor capital and their job was to burn it to make an LLM. Well, they did a great job with that! That’s the same as my wife coming home with Bed Bath and Beyond coupons and telling me it’s her paycheck. Ummm, not the same, sweetheart. So by now hopefully you can see that Anthropic is in a PCAOB audit right now, in order to file an S-1 and go public, and pass the bag to teachers so the VC’s get profits. And hopefully that explains their “crazy” behavior. In reality you can be grateful to KPMG, PWC, or whoever is auditing Anthropic, because it’s the first time Dario learned that: 1) we are not profitable 2) expenses matter 3) coupons are not revenue 4) we have no clue how to be “profitable” 5) growth is hard when revenue numbers are in an audit and not a power point -your neighborhood engineer

And on the eighth day God looked down and said I need somebody who can back 70 feet of steel into a hole with six inches on either side, in the dark, in the rain, on the first try. So God made a trucker. God said I need somebody who can feel a tire going soft through the floorboard at 65. Who can hear a bearing before it fails. Who knows what a load sounds like when it's riding right and what it sounds like when it isn't, and will pull over at 3am on a shoulder to go check, because he'd rather lose an hour than lose the freight. So God made a trucker. I need somebody who can look at a mountain grade and a loaded trailer and know exactly what gear he needs before he gets there. Who can run 600 miles through weather that closed the road behind him and pull in on time without making it a story. So God made a trucker. I need somebody with the arms to crank a landing gear that hasn't moved in a year, and the patience to talk a rookie back into a dock without ever letting on that he watched the whole thing. Somebody who'll pull over for a truck that isn't his problem, from a company that isn't his, and give up an hour of his own clock to get a stranger rolling again. So God made a trucker. I spent twelve years on the other end of the phone. I never once moved a load. Not one. Every single thing I ever built, every customer I ever kept, came down to whether a man I'd never met was as good at his job as he said he was. They almost always were. So God made a trucker. Thank one this week.
