thank you for this, very interesting


Religion + State = Violence


I would watch that YT video and share it with everyone I knew. That it cool.


There wouldn’t be any safety for that anyway.

A tariff as a negotiating tactic wouldn’t be worth much if it was known to be temporary.


I’ll be one to raise my hand and say this has been dramatically not the case for anyone I’ve introduced AI to or myself.

Significantly more informed and reasoned.


If you haven’t worked in the federal government, this is an unserious take.

Experience and context matters. Especially this one.


What changed is the audience

Founders are in private group chats now

Man I miss it being real here instead of Reddit Jr

Grateful for those of you who still hang out


That’s how it is today, but that was also the case at the birth of e-commerce. Amazon was a large eCom store but many others were successful and switching for price was common. Not so much anymore.

Defaults are powerful over time.


Because that is not their motivation and no amount of spin casting changes it.

There’s a simple counter-factual for people with this level of ability:

“Making money” can be easily pursued at BlackRock or any number of PE firms.

Creating historic technology, of unknown difficulty and scale of impact, is not something pure capitalism can or is designed to deliver. What would investors or customers buy at the start of OpenAI?

While OpenAI may end up a corporation like any other, it would not have achieved what it had as one.


Then we should also jail the shareholders who profited and the activist shareholders who pushed for it

CEOs, especially of large companies, are glorified management


I downvoted then thought about it more and changed my mind.

It’s a fascinating idea to consider. If we could hold shareholders of companies like UnitedHealthCare or Boeing accountable for unethical behavior… it would sure stop fast.


This used to be the case with banks prior to the 1910s. If a bank became insolvent, the shareholders were personally liable for fixing it.
