concerning that data companies serving the US government (mercor, surge) are also working with Chinese AI labs. serving the US government should not be a commercial convenience, it must be a bedrock principle for startups.

At 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.

For 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

Universal 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.

I 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.

Hi! 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

It’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.

1/ today we’re releasing muse spark 1.3—available in muse code & the meta model api. this is our most capable model yet—frontier performance almost too cheap to meter. much stronger at agentic and coding with better usability. we think users will really notice the jump.

excited to be releasing open weights for muse glimmer today, a 30b model that runs on a single consumer gpu, with open weights for a version of muse spark 1.2 coming soon. two very different models, both headed into people's hands, with more to come.

2/ agentic performance and tool use are where we’re leading. it has strong performance on long-running agentic tasks with a 1M token context window with active context management, and can delegate execution across parallel-running subagents
