XStunning in its candor.
And if you're one of those spared, how could you not be wondering how long until AI comes for your job too?

Attorney General Pamela BondiAt my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
More details soon.
Ashok KumarFor those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today.
China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market
Elon MuskUniversal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
Sam AltmanI am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute:
I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of.
I felt a little useless and it was sad.
jacksfilmsHi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include:
-make it funny
-make it epic AND funny
-funnier!!!
Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI
Elon MuskIt’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy!
Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

Dan PrimackGonna read a lot about VC "returns" from the SpaceX IPO. Reminder that no VC is selling shares into the IPO, and can't sell for a while.
So these are still paper gains, not actual cash for distribution-starved LPs in their funds.
Dan PrimackLeaving aside the bad precedent (govt threatening to shut down a co unless it gets paid), the fee itself is kinda insane.
The entire enterprise value was only around $14 billion. So this would be a 71% “banker’s” fee.
Dan PrimackAuditBoard raised $40 million in Series B funding at a $150 million valuation in 2018 and never again raised primary capital.
It just sold for over $3 billion. Sometimes boring is best.
t.co
Dan PrimackNothing to see here, just the owner of this site and a presidential candidate chatting it up with a man indicted for rape/human trafficking and another who lied about dead kids to harass their grieving parents.
This may really be the bottom.
Dan PrimackYeah, they sandbagged her (and Julia to some extent). Will make it much tougher for Code to book future guests.
But Linda runs one of the world's most powerful platforms -- one that must make very tough and sometimes quick decisions. Got to be able to roll w/ the punches.
Dan PrimackYes, VC-backed startups have deep pocketed investors.
BUT: VCs have their own investors, who have their own issues right now. Not very easy, if even possible, for VCs to make enough capital calls to fund portfolio-wide job-saving. PPP designed to help keep people on payrolls.
