🚨 Tucker Carlson says President Trump should be removed from office for threatening a nuclear strike on Iran “He should have been bundled up and taken out … There's no greater crime than that.”

Mark Zuckerberg pushes back on Dario Amodei and Sam Altman’s calls for AI regulations saying, “There’s a lot of rhetoric that is filled with doom … and I don't think that we need industry-wide coordination to not mess this up.”

Well this is interesting. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang suggest AI firms could be seeking liability protections for harms their products may cause. “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, and I I think that that's a problem.”

Pennsylvania’s James Whitehead absolutely drills a field goal kick to win $1M 😮 James said earlier in the interview, he never kicked a football before — he was just relying on his soccer experience. Somebody needs to sign him!

Jensen Huang Says Good Engineering Practices Should Pace AI, Not Just More Laws “If it’s not ready, just hold it back … As they move from labs to product development, the companies have to become much more rigorous in testing.”

Clips that are new to X should count as original content. Accounts like @TheChiefNerd, @JasonJournoDC, and mine bring content to X that wasn’t here before. We also add context for why it matters. If there’s no reason to keep clipping to X, that’s a huge loss for how useful this platform is. I trust @elonmusk will fix this. He’s shown he’ll move fast, break things, then course-correct when it goes too far.

JEFF BEZOS: “I know there's a lot of concern that many smart people have, that AI is going to make humans redundant. I totally disagree with this point of view. In fact, AI is going to create a labor shortage … We have an endless set of things to invent.”

Mark Zuckerberg: “Meta delayed shipping Muse for several months to focus on safety and security. We didn't call for everyone else to do this before we would. We just did it as part of our day-to-day work because it was clearly the right thing for people and for us.”

JENSEN HUANG: “We don't welcome political discourse inside our company. Take it home … We're bipartisan. We want America to succeed … The discourse about race and religion and politics and all of that stuff, we tell people do it outside the company. It's not for us.”

CHAMATH: “My mom calls me and she's like, ‘What is this whole civilizational death thing?’ I don't know how to explain it to her.” JENSEN: “We shouldn't, because it's made up … Somebody has to take accountability for all of the stupid predictions that were made.”

🚨 NYT: “Barack Obama warned during a recent private fund-raising event that artificial intelligence technology could be ‘dangerous’ if not properly managed, as he implored Democrats to aggressively develop political and governing agendas to prioritize the issue in the coming years.”

DARIO: “It has always been very strange that this technology is being built by a private company.” CBS: “Would you be willing to give up the technology to the government?” DARIO: “To the to the right combination of governments.”

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead. You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement. I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible. But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier. Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want. Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well. So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it. If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

DARIO AMODEI: “In order for companies to coordinate directly on commercial activity, they need to do so working with the government … We're just trying to make our systems safe and … I think that's an important role for the government to have.”
