AI models pushing the frontier are a growing challenge for cybersecurity. A few weeks ago, I asked Demis what's underhyped in AI right now and on his mind: "I'm very excited about this new agentic era and you can see us leaning into that" "But of course we've also... show more

US VP, JD Vance on US frontier labs asking for AI regulation : "I feel a little bit weird about the fact that you have so many frontier AI tech companies kind of coming to the government and begging the government to regulate them. It feels like a bit of a Trojan horse. So, I think we just have to be careful about this. We know that the Chinese are engaged in this long-term AI race against the United States. We want to make sure that the United States does things smartly, but we stay ahead of the curve. I don’t think Americans should be scared of anything. I think that we have to be mindful that there are risks and there are downsides to anything, and that’s certainly true of AI." ---- From "Forbes Breaking News" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)

Elon Musk explains the deeper reason why SpaceX succeeding in AI matters for humanity’s future "It's important that we have an AI that cares about humanity, that fosters humanity and helps take us to other planets and other star systems This is why I think it's essential that SpaceX succeed not just with AI hardware, but also with AI software. I think an AI that is SpaceX's baby will be a very good AI SpaceX is a collection some of the very best humans on Earth, both in capability and in morality and goodness. We want to have an AI that is born of that capability, that morality and that goodness. I think that's very, very important So I'd like to encourage people to help out with the AI hardware on the ground, the AI software, and of course with the AI satellites Solar is going to be a very important part of that. The Terafab will be a very important part of that”

‼️JUST NOW — powerful brief remarks by the leaders of Ukraine, the UK, France, and Germany in London: IN SHORT: Merz: “The coming days could be decisive for all of us. The destiny of this country is the destiny of Europe. Nobody should doubt our support for Ukraine. And this is what we are firmly standing behind. I'm skeptical about some of the details which we are seeing in the documents coming from the U.S. side.” Macron: "I think we have a lot of cards in our hands." Zelenskyy: "Our team came back, and I think that they will brief us about the last talks with Americans and after talks of Americans with Russians." Starmer: "If there's to be a ceasefire, it needs to be a just and lasting ceasefire. Matters about Ukraine are for Ukraine." FULL STATEMENTS: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer: "But the principles remain, the principles that we've operated on for a very, very long time, which is that we stand with Ukraine, and if there's to be a ceasefire, it needs to be a just and lasting ceasefire. And that's why it's so important, that we repeatedly set out the principle forward that matters about Ukraine are for Ukraine. And we stand here to support you in the conflict and support you in the negotiations and make sure that this is a just and lasting settlement if we can get that far. You're very welcome for our discussions". President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "Thank you very much, Kir. Thank you for organizing this meeting. Thank you, friends, Emmanuel and Friedrich, and thank you for our joint meeting. I think that it is very important now to organize such a meeting and discuss very sensitive issues regarding these talks that we had, in the United States and between us. Our team came back, and I think that they will brief us about the last talks with Americans and after talks of Americans with Russians. I think there are lot of what we have to discuss and speak about. So there are a lot of things which are very important for today. I think, unity between Europe and Ukraine, and also unity between Europe, Ukraine, and the U.S. There are some things which we can't manage without Americans, things which we can't manage without Europe, and that's why we need to make some important decisions". President of France Emmanuel Macron: "And thank you Volodymyr for being with us. You are always welcome. In France, I think we all support Ukraine, and we all support peace. And peace negotiations to have sustainable, robust peace. And I think we have a lot of cards in our hands. The financing and the quality of equipments and training programs to Ukraine, the fact that Ukraine is resisting in this war, and the fact that the Russian economy is starting to suffer, especially after our latest sanctions and the US sanctions. And now I think the main issue is the convergence between our common positions, Europeans and Ukrainians, and the U.S. to finalize these, peace negotiations and re-engage in a new phase in the best possible conditions for Ukraine, for the Europeans, and for our collective security". Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz: "I highly appreciate that we are having the opportunity to see you, Volodymyr, together with Emmanuel, and talking about the upcoming days, because this could be a decisive time for all of us. We are trying to continue our support for Ukraine, as you know. On the other hand, we are seeing these talks and negotiations in Moscow and in the U.S. I'm looking forward to hear from you what the outcome of these talks might be. And we are still and remain strongly behind Ukraine and giving support to your country, because we all know that the destiny of this country is the destiny of Europe. So that's the reason why we are here, trying to figure out what we can do. And nobody should doubt on our support for Ukraine. And this is what we are firmly standing behind. And the outcome is open. I'm skeptical about some of the details which we are seeing in the documents coming from the U.S. side, but we have to talk about that. That's why we are here".

Elon Musk on Grok: “I think an AI that is sort of SpaceX’s baby will be a very good AI. I think SpaceX is a collection of some of the very best humans on Earth, both in capability and morality and goodness, and I think we want to have an AI that is born of that capability and that morality and that goodness. I think that’s very, very important. So I’d like to encourage people to help out, actually, with the AI hardware on the ground and the AI software and, of course, with the AI satellites. Solar is going to be a very important part of that. The TerraFab will be a very important part of that, but we must also succeed on the software front, and we’re going to be training Grok on the sum total of all SpaceX information. So in a way, it will be trained on you. You will effectively be the parents of the AI. It will inherit your thoughts and ideas and beliefs, and I think that’s a good thing. So, yeah, we’ve got to win here on the AI hardware and the AI software. That maybe is the most important message. I think that is actually the most important message I wanted to convey today is that we must win on AI because the future is overwhelmingly AI and robots. So we won’t ultimately be able to control the AI. It’ll be too smart for that. But just like if you have a child that is a super genius child, you can still instill in that child the values and beliefs that you think are good and right. And so that’s why it’s incredibly important that we succeed with Grok. So, yeah, well, Grok 4.5 you’ve tried probably. We’ve got 4.6 coming out in about a week. And then 4.7 should be really pretty special. So I’d like to encourage everyone at SpaceX to use AI and to make it better.”

Antonio Gracias: DOGE Happened Just in Time to Stop America from Turning into a Kleptocracy "When (Department of Government Efficiency) started, I thought we had a democracy, but it turned into a bureaucracy." "What I'm afraid of now, is we have a bureaucracy that is about to turn into a kleptocracy." Antonio Gracias on E214: "It's sort of extraordinary what's happening. "Elon Musk said this publicly, right? Fraud, waste, and abuse, he thinks kind of 10% of the budget is probably fraud." "I think it might be low, actually. So you're talking about $650B, $1T in waste. I think that's probably about right." "But what's really serious about it, @jason, for me and what scared me, and I'm not there full-time. You know, I'm in and out a little bit and trying to help where I can, but I'm not there full-time." "When this started, I thought we had a democracy, but it turned into a bureaucracy." "What I'm afraid of now. is we have a bureaucracy that is about to turn into a kleptocracy." "I mean, a Latin American-style kleptocracy, okay?" "The stuff you're talking about, that is pure fraud." "And we're making some jokes out of it, the DEI musical." "But if you go into the data that's coming out of USAID, what you find is there's a lot of political contributions going on there." "I mean, that is pure corruption. That's like a Latin American-style autocracy. And we cannot let it go there." "I think (Department of Government Efficiency) happened just in the nick of time. 80+ people there, all patriots, going full time to make this happen." "So I'm just so grateful."

What's the ceiling for Bo Nix? In the eyes of Chris Simms, it compares to a Hall of Famer: "It's Drew Brees-ish. That's really what it is. He's Drew, but maybe even a little bit better arm, and maybe even a little bit better athlete. And now if they can get some weapons there with him -- and I do think Davis Webb with Sean Payton will be a better formula than what they previously had -- I just think now they're going to be able to grow the offense and now add some pieces on that offensive side of the ball to where when he throws a 10-yard throw, somebody can break a tackle and break it for 40 or 50 (yards)."

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio: It is in my personal view that we've had probably the most productive and meaningful meeting so far in this entire process since we've been involved in it from the beginning. So I think the takeaway from it is I think this is a very, very meaningful, I would say probably best meeting and day we've had so far in this entire process going back to when we first came into office in January. We have a very good work product that was already built on a foundation of input from all the relative parties involved here, and we were able to go through some of those items now point by point, and I think we've made good progress. And then obviously there's the Russian side of the equation, but again, we think we have some pretty substantial insights over the last nine months into some of the things that are really important to them.

Sam Altman says he is NOT worried about Chinese labs distilling OpenAI: "I would rather people not distill from us, for sure. Maybe I’m feeling too confident right now about our progress and the models that are coming. But this is not in my top ten list of worries.” “I haven’t thought deeply about the distillation issue. It’s clearly a top of mind issue now for a lot of people all of a sudden." "I have always assumed that there are going to be great, cheap models in the world, and we better be the greatest and the cheapest. And other people are going to do what they’re going to do. But I think we can just really win at our own game here." "We will have so much usage of our models that we do not need to be a gigantic high margin business to be able to afford model training." "So much of our future compute plans will be used to sell inference to customers that even if we can enjoy a modest margin on trillions of dollars of revenue, we can afford to train some giant models."

Fake News. There is no "split" between President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance. You left out the first part of his comments: "I feel a little bit weird about the fact that you have so many frontier AI tech companies kind of coming to the government and begging the government to regulate them. It feels a little bit to me like a bit of a Trojan horse, so I think we just have to be careful about this."

Q: What are some of the things you’ve seen with Hyeseong the last couple weeks that warrant him getting sort of reset down in Triple-A? DAVE ROBERTS: I think his swing has changed. I think he’s losing his legs a little bit, I think he’s coming around the ball a little bit. There’s a lot more swing-and-miss than there was early. I think he is just playing a little bit—with my eyes—more tentative, and not as free & easy as he was in some parts of last year and early on. So I think that just kind of getting him back to playing every day in a little bit less of a hot box, he’ll perform back to where he can and will. And so that’s kind of what we’re hoping for. 🎥: DodgersBeat | Dodgers News & Interviews

This stuck out to me the most important part of Gerry McNamara's first interview with SU Athletics: "I think we all need to see and understand...what's at stake. We're right on the fringe of being one of those programs that gets left behind." "I think that every time that I step in front of a recruit..they need to understand how special I think the place is. How much I believe in it. If they feel that from me, maybe they get a little bit of that feeling, a little bit of that intensity, and they come here with the same intentions I have, which is to give the place everything they have."

Andrej Karpathy called the current AI models as "slop" "I do think that overall the models are not there yet. I feel like the industry is making too big of a jump and trying to pretend that this is amazing, but it's not. It's slop, and I think they are not coming to terms with it. Maybe they are trying to fundraise or something like that, I'm not sure what's going on. We are at this intermediate stage. The models are amazing, but they still need a lot of work for now. Autocomplete is my sweet spot." --- On the latest Dwarkesh Patel podcast.

#WATCH | Delhi: Responding to ANI's question regarding Strait of Hormuz, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong says, "The first point is that Secretary Rubio did update us on the negotiations and the progress of those negotiations with Iran. Australia and others have been saying for some time that we need to see a diplomatic resolution. We need to see the Strait open. We need to see the supply flow. And I think that's a consistent position of Quad members. So we were updated on that. In terms of some of the consequences of the conflict and the closure of the Strait. You would see that there's a discussion about energy security, and the Energy Security Initiative is one of the outcomes of our meeting."

David Friedberg Explains Why AI Will Break Every Economic Model: Will Output Surpass Consumptive Capacity? I think fundamentally, if you're driving productivity with AI, you're driving leverage on human time and leverage on capital. The question is, how quickly can you drive that up? And that's a function of how much consumption there is, how much capacity there is for consumption. So if your earnings are the same, but things are getting more expensive, you're not happy. If your earnings go up by 10% and things stay the same price, you got 10% more than you had last year, you're gonna be happy. I just think all humans are driven by this need to consume more each year than they did last year. So I think for me, that's the lower limit on consumptive capacity in the world. The question that we're now facing, which we've never faced in human history before, is there an upper limit on consumptive capacity? Because AI creates such a profound shift in productivity and in leverage that normally you would say, “Hey, when we get a new tool or we get new leverage in a system, we build a new technology, we can make more with less.” Therefore, everyone gets access to more things for the same price or the cost of things that they consume come down by a certain price. But there may be a situation now where the ability to make stuff exceeds the capacity to consume stuff, and that is something that I don't think we’ve faced before. And I think that's where a lot of the models start to break. Just general economic models, just general productivity models and general social models. And this goes to the point about, like, what is everyone going to do? In the same way that I think we've argued that maybe SaaS was a transitory business phenomenon that existed between the foundation of the internet and the era of AI, it may be the case that knowledge work in general is also a transitory phenomenon that only existed between the foundation of the computer, or computing tools, and the existence of AI, generally speaking. And if all of that goes away very quickly, and all of those people can be redistributed and recast into doing other higher level, more creative things, their productivity goes up by 100x, is there really a consumer on the other end of all of that productivity? Is there really enough consumptive capacity? And I think that's the profound question that we all face.

If your earnings go up by 10% and things stay the same price, you got 10% more than you had last year, you're gonna be happy. I just think all humans are driven by this need to consume more each year than they did last year. So I think for me, that's the lower limit on consumptive capacity in the world. The question that we're now facing, which we've never faced in human history before, is there an upper limit on consumptive capacity? Because AI creates such a profound shift in productivity and in leverage that normally you would say, “Hey, when we get a new tool or we get new leverage in a system, we build a new technology, we can make more with less.” Therefore, everyone gets access to more things for the same price or the cost of things that they consume come down by a certain price. But there may be a situation now where the ability to make stuff exceeds the capacity to consume stuff, and that is something that I don't think we’ve faced before. And I think that's where a lot of the models start to break. Just general economic models, just general productivity models and general social models. And this goes to the point about, like, what is everyone going to do? In the same way that I think we've argued that maybe SaaS was a transitory business phenomenon that existed between the foundation of the internet and the era of AI, it may be the case that knowledge work in general is also a transitory phenomenon that only existed between the foundation of the computer, or computing tools, and the existence of AI, generally speaking. And if all of that goes away very quickly, and all of those people can be redistributed and recast into doing other higher level, more creative things, their productivity goes up by 100x, is there really a consumer on the other end of all of that productivity? Is there really enough consumptive capacity? And I think that's the profound question that we all face.

Joe Gacy on When The Wyatt Sicks lost momentum in WWE: “I just feel like if we had the chance to develop a little more, get a little bit more connection with the audience. Unfortunately, there was a time when Taylor had to take some time off because of a health issue. They kind of pushed pause on us, and I think that not allowing us to have that little development where we could have carried things on a little bit on our own, he took the time off, we could have still carried on and done stuff creatively without him, and then could have had a big moment when he came back. I think that was maybe the beginning, because I guess in their eyes, there the group was Taylor, which I do to an extent understand, but I think we just weren’t given the chance to develop ourselves so we can also become more of a presence in the group.” (Chris Van Vliet)

Andrej Karpathy had already talked about this possibility 1 month back, that he might join one of the big AI labs and why he may do so. "They (the AI labs) are kind of like at the edge of capability of what's possible. And they are working on what's coming down the line. And I think if you're outside of that frontier lab, your judgment fundamentally will start to drift because you're not part of what's coming down the line. And so I feel like my judgment will inevitably start to drift as well. And I won't actually have an understanding of how these systems actually work under the hood. It's a big system. I won't have a good understanding of how to develop and etc. And so I do think that in that sense, I agree and something I'm nervous about. I think it's worth basically being in touch with what's actually happening and actually being in the frontier lab. And if some of the frontier labs would have me come for some amount of time and do really good work for them, then I think that's maybe a good setup" --- From 'No Priors: AI, Machine Learning, Tech, & Startups" YT channel (link in comment)
