SemiAnalysis' Fabricated Knowledge thinks something weird and existential is going on with Microsoft and AI. "Microsoft's not in the race. Where are they? They're getting owned." "It's a skill issue. Clearly something is going on. Honestly, the thing that makes me most bearish is the fact that Satya is...

What it’s like to receive a job offer directly from Satya Nadella. Kelsey Hightower, former Google Distinguished Engineer, on the Microsoft offer that revealed a pay tier he didn't know existed: “I got this email from Satya, the CEO of Microsoft. He wrote this nice email: 'Kelsey, heard you had a good experience with the team' - remember I did the interview at the Microsoft headquarters - “heard really good things from the team, just wanted to let you know, you're going to be respected here. We're going to support you as a team.” I'm like, damn, support as a team? Coming from the CEO? So, number one, what an honor. This is the CEO of Microsoft. He has so many more important things to be doing than to be emailing me about a role. I opened the PDF - not very often in your career does a zero get added to the equation. And so you're looking at this like, I didn't even know that they do that. We know that it happens. But the person that graduated from high school in 1999, that chose the A+ Certification didn't know that was available. Even while I was at Google having all the success. Google paid me pretty well too, but I didn't know you can add another zero still. And I'm like, wow. I showed my wife and she was the one that said you should just go interview, like put your ego to the side and let's go see what's out there, so shout out to my wife. And so I get the PDF, and I'm like, okay, this number is perfect. Honestly, I don't know what to say, but let’s just find out, is this really the only number? So I remember giving a counter: you know what, I think it should be this. The funny thing is, Microsoft countered back higher, like we're not playing around. I'm like, oh, whoa. Now I understand that I don't understand this part of the game.”

Important: Who is Opposing the UAPDA? "It's staff! And it's like, who elected you? You were not elected!" ~Burlison "I cannot believe that I am sponsoring the language that Senator Schumer also is sponsoring." ~Burlison ~ Burlison: "We're trying to get UAP Disclosure Acts put on the National Defense Authorization Act. We are facing difficulties, and I mean, it's so frustrating, because it's not members [of Congress]. I don't, at least, if it is members, they're not coming to me and saying, 'Hey, I'm not allowing your amendment.' "It's staff! And it's like, who elected you? You were not elected!' I mean, for you to be able to deny an elected official whose...my job is to answer to the people, and you're gonna deny me the ability to get this amendment, at least even offered, is unacceptable. "And so, right now we're trying to get that made in order, so that when it comes to the floor, at least we get an opportunity to have a vote on the UAP Disclosure Act! And then you'll know who supports it and who doesn't. "But I've gotta get the Intelligence Committee to approve that. And, so any help, André Carson, would be greatly appreciated. If you could lean on our chairman and others, that would be fantastic, but we've gotta get it made in order. And if we get out of the House, I think that we're halfway there. "And then we'll...I think we've got allies in the Senate, whether it'. And I cannot believe that I am sponsoring the language that Senator Schumer also is sponsoring (laughter and applause). But what's right is right, and truth is truth. And we're all Americans, and that's why this is such a common-sense thing. And the only thing that's gonna stop it is these staffers who are killing things behind the scenes in the cover of darkness. And so, that's what we're facing right now, so your help getting vocal on this is probably the only way we're going to get it done."

Naval Ravikant: "I'm not scared of AI. I'm scared of what a very small number of people who control AI do to the rest of us." On E215, Naval broke down his main AI fear: consolidated control enabled by regulatory capture. "If you really think you're going to create God, do you want to put God on a leash with one entity controlling God?" "That to me is the real fear." "I'm not scared of AI. I'm scared of what a very small number of people who control AI do to the rest of us, 'for our own good.'" "I'm not an AI doomer. I don't think AI is going to end the world. That's a separate conversation." "But, there's this religion that comes along in many faces, which is that, 'Oh, climate change is going to end the world. AI is going to end the world. Asteroid's going to end the world. COVID-19 is going to end the world.' And it just has a way of fixating your attention, right? "It captures everybody's attention at once. So it's a very seductive thing." "And I think in the case of AI, it's really been overplayed by incentive bias. Motivated reasoning by the companies who are ahead and they want to pull up the ladder behind them." "I think they generally believe that there is safety risk, but I think they're motivated to believe in those safety risks and then they pass that along." "But it's kind of a weird position because they have to say, 'Oh, it's so dangerous that you shouldn't just let open-source go at it. And you should let just a few of us work with you on it. But it's not so dangerous that a private company can't own the whole thing.'" "Because if it was truly the Manhattan Project, if they were building nuclear weapons, you wouldn't want one company to own that." "So to me, the real issue boils down to, how do you push AI forward while not having just a very small number of players control the entire thing?"

EVERYONE needs to be aware how SIGNIFICANT the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is This election decides who controls The House of Representatives and Voter ID Elon Musk “The single biggest challenge, I think is actually just making people aware that there is this very important election. There's both the very important election for Judge Schimel as well as the deciding on, on adding voter ID to the Wisconsin Constitution institution, which is very, very important. So it's quite shocking ,you can sort of tell where voter fraud is happening, where they ban id, you know, like why would you ban, ID like in New York and California, it's like illegal to show idea at an election. Well, why would, I can't imagine why that would be the case…. So, two really important things is to ensure judicial integrity on Tuesday and then the voter ID thing It's April Fool's Day. So I think most people aren't aware, like I said, most people aren't aware that there is this important election, but there most people don't even know that there's an election at all. Or if they do, they aren't sure exactly when and where it is. — They don't realize just how important it is. They think it, it's, well it's just, you know, some kind of judicial thing that's not that important. But it actually, what they're doing, what's happening on Tuesday is a vote for the, the which party controls the U.S house of House of Representatives. That is why it is so, so significant and whichever party controls the house, to a significant degree controls the country, which then steers the course of Western civilization. So it's like, I feel like this is one of those things that, that may not seem that it's gonna affect the entire destiny of humanity, — it's a super, it's a super big deal. The fact that I'm here in person, like I'm not phoning it in. I'm here in person”

Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, on why AI is both a bubble and a revolution at the same time: His answer refuses the binary, laying out why both things can be true at once: "I mean, clearly, it's clearly both, right? It's clearly a bubble and at the same time, it's very interesting and I think it will change society and I think it will change how most skilled jobs get done." But he pushes back on the maximalist framing: "At the same time, I don't think it's as revolutionary as people make it out to be." When asked about artists being angry that AI models were trained on their work without consent, Linus is blunt: "That's reality. Deal with it. That genie is out of the bottle. You're not getting it back. And you're not getting it back whether you are a photographer who's out of work… or you're a programmer that has to learn to deal with a new reality." On programming specifically, he's more optimistic, though he has a sharp caveat about vibe coding: "I really think that AI will be a tool and it will make people more productive. I think that vibe coding is great for getting into programming. I think it's going to be a horrible thing to maintain." His conclusion is that programmers aren't going anywhere: "You still want to have the people who know how to maintain the end result." Linus separates the technology from the noise around it: "I'm a huge believer in AI. I'm not a huge believer in the whole things going on around AI. I find the marketing and the market to be sick and twisted and there is going to be a crash and it's not… it's going to be ugly."
