When they say: Please, for the love of God, regulate us. Give us licences, audits, and bans before our digital God destroys us all. Here is what is actually being requested. Three things, in order. A regulatory body that they control, to prevent competition from catching up. Written with their people, staffed by their alumni, and calibrated to what they can already afford. Compliance is a fixed cost, which means it is trivial for the incumbent and fatal for the challenger. Not technology, but paperwork becomes their moat. Immunity from liability. This is the one nobody talks about and it is the most valuable of the three. Today, if your model causes harm, it is your fault. Once licensed, audited, and approved, it is the regulator’s fault – you followed the rules. The licence converts responsibility into a receipt. Too big to fail status, which means taxpayer funded bailouts in case of problems. Declare it critical infrastructure and the state now has an interest in your survival. Which means, when something goes wrong, the losses are public and the gains stay private. We have watched this film. Banking, 2008, same argument, same vocabulary. Note the pattern: every one of the three transfers something from them to the public – risk, competition, cost – while the language is entirely about protecting the public from them. The sincerity of the fear is beside the point. Sincere people can still ask for exactly what an insincere person would ask for, and the request should be judged by what it does rather than by what motivates it. The alternative is unglamorous and works: competition, adversarial testing between rivals who want to find each other’s flaws, and full liability after real harm. Nobody gets a licence. Nobody gets immunity. Nobody gets a bailout. You build, and you answer for what you built. That is the arrangement that made the West rich. It has never needed anyone’s permission to work.

AI Is the New COVID – And the Real Virus Is Still the Old One They want to pause AI. To flatten the curve again. The infrastructure for the scaremongering is ready and is being actioned. The Second Global Scam is on, and the financial and political beneficiaries are in the

@sama Thank you for committing to do your best to develop responsibly! We need that. Now stop fear mongering to give the govt a reason to control everyone else (of course as advised by you and your smart friends). You sound like Al Gore with global warming!

@choblin29 That's what a real American looks like my friend. We don't cave to fear mongering intended to destroy competition. As much respect as I have for all three of those men as business titans, they've all proven they are dillusional when it comes to AI. They think they're godmakers!

@AnthropicAI It's all calibrated fearmongering. Tyranny thrives where fear is cultivated.

We can love our country even if we don't love it's most public faces. It's the people you don't see in the news everyday who are what America is.

This follows the historical trend of every other disrupting technology. Disruption and fear followed by unprecedented production and value creation that benefits everyone.

Q: How are job postings for software engineers rising rapidly despite AI agents automating coding? A: Because there’s far more code to manage than ever before. We’re already seeing a 14x YoY increase in GitHub commits, and it’s accelerating. AI has dramatically lowered the

@AndrewYang We're at the dawn of an age of unprecedented productivity and autonomy for American workers. Only a wannabe autocrat would be sad about that.

BREAKING: Idaho Supreme Court just unanimously ruled that their new private school choice program is constitutional. The decision was 5 to 0. The teachers unions lost.

Well said Bernie.

@BarackObama I mean there's not a lot of people sneaking across the border from Europe right now...

@lana_asanin @elonmusk You already knew!? Why didn't YOU do anything about it?

@TONYxTWO @elonmusk Well said. It seems insane that anyone has a problem with more transparency in the federal government. Can any harm come from taxpayers knowing what the government that is supposed to be "by the people and for the people" is doing with our tax dollars?

Despite the numerous challenges that have presented themselves over the last year and a half in my life, it is because of the gifts from Jesus Christ that I can remain grateful and optimistic about the future. I am grateful for the promise of enjoying eternal life with the ones I love, made possible because of Christ’s infinite atoning sacrifice. Likewise, I am eternally grateful for the supplication of thousands of people who repeatedly sought heaven’s intervention in my behalf during my months of illness and loss. I am grateful for the women of the @Ch_JesusChrist who have been as strong as Mount Sinai and as compassionate as the Mount of Beatitudes. I am thankful for the Church’s army of teachers, officers, advisers, and clerks, to say nothing of people who are forever setting up tables and taking down chairs. Too often I have failed to express gratitude for the faith and goodness of these people in my life. My thanks be to all you wonderful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—and legions of good people not of our faith—for proving every day of your life that the pure love of Christ “never faileth” (1 Corinthians 13:8). Although I do not yet qualify, I am forever thankful to my Savior for all He has done and continues to do for me. How grateful I am for the promise that everyone “who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious” (Doctrine and Covenants 78:19).

This is really worth watching. RFK Jr. talks about what makes our country great (what makes life great!) and how so many of those pillars are crumbling under the power of the rising political and corporate aristocracy. youtu.be/VxNAdilyqow?si…

@libsoftiktok @HomeDepot ground now, while they have some momentum, who will?

@libsoftiktok @HomeDepot Are these the same people who are crying that the left is infringing on their right to free speech by cancelling and intimidation? What this lady and others said was sick, but take away their freedom to say it and they will find more lethal ways to express it. (Continued) 👇

@libsoftiktok @HomeDepot That's why free speech matters. Because words are NOT violence! They are what allow us to express our convictions in a non-violent way. The harassment, the doxing, the cancelling must stop. If the party centered on Conserving morality and principles will not take the moral high👇
