[Nintex]

Here is the first $500

[who is ted danson?]

Gimme my stimmy check bihhhhh

[who is ted danson?]

$500 will barely buy a Series S nowadays

By this point in the cycle the nominal price of the Series S should be about $150 versus the 2020 launch price

Therefore inflation adjusted $500 today is the equivalent of  $20 in 2020 money

How humble of Trump to never announce that he had recovered trillions from the deep state and cabal.

Most of these apply to Presidents elected before 2024.

I don't think I've ever seen him care about anything less than this. 

[Nintex]

Well Trump just spoke in favor of reunification for Ireland and the UK is freaking out



Meanwhile he can no longer cheat at golf because there are too many secret service agents watching

[Nintex]

There he is, the Unifier of Ireland, Conquerer of the Falklands

[benji]

NEW: President Trump Reposts Video From January 6 Telling Rioters To ‘Go Home’ With No Explanation

The White House clarified to Newsnation that it was a reminder

  

Anyway if you vote for Trump he will reunify Palestine and Israel, Canada and the United States, Taiwan and China, North and South Korea, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, Ukraine and Russia, Argentina and the Falklands, Azerbaijan and Armenia, Poland and Germany shortly after the elections. 

Who better to broker these real estate deals than Steve Witkoff and Jared. The biggest deals the world has ever seen.

Zelensky needs to stop attacking the Diesel in Russia and the UK is bankrupt if it doesn't drill for oil.

Ex-Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon will join forces at an event on Tuesday to push for human-controlled AI.

   

really bernie? this motherfucker?

Bernie Sanders proposes 20 year prison sentence for AI devs who plow ahead with Artificial Superintelligence plans — penalty on par with illegally developing rogue nuclear weapons

is grandpa ok?


the jacob coxon thing is really blatant

This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works:
1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an exclusive with quotes from him on his resignation 18 minutes BEFORE this post goes up. Planning was clearly done in advance.

2.) Within hours, it has tens of thousands of reposts and the account has 100k+ followers. The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting. Remember, this account had basically zero engagement beforehand, so an organic reach explanation seems unlikely.

According to Grok those accounts are @_NathanCalvin (General Counsel at Encode AI), @peterwildeford (Head of Policy at the AI Policy Network), and @DKokotajlo (Head of the AI Futures Project), all of which are up-and-coming AI-Doomer policy advocacy nonprofits.

The AI Futures Project website says it is funded “primarily” by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which says on its own website that it has advised Jaan Tallinn, Skype creator and one of the leading investors in Anthropic, to grant over $2.5 million to the AI Futures Project since 2024.

Encode AI says on its website that it is ALSO funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which in turn says that it told Anthropic investor Jaan Tallinn to grant $516,000 to Encode AI in 2025.

And wouldn’t you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund ALSO says it told Jaan Tallinn to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Institute, the 501©(3) affiliate of the AI Policy Network, as well.

What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of Coxon’s post would all be major AI-restriction policy advocates funded generously by the same donor, who also happens to be one of the leading investors in, and a board member of, Anthropic, the company Coxon was resigning from? And all within 15 minutes of posting (two within ten)?

3.) Jacob Coxon doesn’t have much of a resume, but we do know that, in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the “long term future scholarship program” from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI-doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of millions on policy advocacy to strictly regulate AI, while also being an Anthropic Investor himself.

It also just so happens that the 14th person to quote Coxon’s post was @MaxNadeau_ (27 minutes after posting) who is the program officer for the Technical AI Safety team at Coefficient Giving, another of Moskovitz’s philanthropic spending vehicles. Max is not a frequent poster, his last posts before quoting Coxon were before Labor Day, but he was remarkably quick off the mark for this one.

4.) Basically every major Democrat politician and candidate has suddenly glommed on to this post, and conveniently, as the people cry out foe answers, Bernie Sanders already has a bill written to “ban super intelligence” and regulate AI into oblivion, and will be releasing later this week. The bill, among many other things, will create “a new cabinet-level federal agency to safeguard the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence” that will be “advised by an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board comprised of experts on artificial intelligence.” Do you think, perhaps, Anthropic and its many investors who fund AI policy advocacy might have interest in getting to place a pet “expert” on the board of an entity that dictates what AI is and isn’t allowed to do? And isn’t it fortuitous that this whistleblower came forward  with his oh-so scary stories so close in proximity to the release of the most radical piece of AI legislation ever introduced?

Without wading into allegations about specific people mentioned in this post, I will note the following:

1. Researcher leaving frontier lab is really "dog bites man" news.  There are dozens of such departures every month.  These departures are motivated by all kinds of considerations, sometimes including those relating to safety.  Even departures of key individuals are rarely covered by the mainstream media.  To have the Wall Street Journal write an entire article about the departure of one researcher is absolutely extraordinary, particularly when it's not one of the most well-known senior researchers (AFAIK).

2. It is correct that the Wall Street Journal article went up before the researcher's tweet.

3. On views/likes/engagement: Ilya Sutskever's tweet announcing his departure from OpenAI in 2024 (possibly the most famous researcher departure from a frontier lab over the last few years) currently has fewer than 6M views.  The post you quoted has over 100M.  These are not "apples and oranges" for various reasons, but the comparison does give some food for thought.

4. This account was either purposely completely wiped before yesterday's tweets were posted or these were the first tweets from his account.  This is obviously quite unusual; I can't remember another researcher wiping his or her account immediately before making an "I quit" post.

trump and his AI advisors aren't having it:

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.

The only control or “guardrails” that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades! The Trump Administration has stopped AI “people” from doing bad, or potentially bad, “things,“ like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a “perfect little angel” - and we will continue to do so! We already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies! There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China. WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS! We are leading China, and all others, and will continue to do so. Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
