30% markup? Guy clearly has no idea how government contracts work. Definitely missing an extra 0. Or two.

The US needs to do hilarious stuff now that we banned frontier models from being used outside the US. If I were in the position, I would give 100% tax breaks for all AI-based compute spending, for US citizens only of course.

josh hokshit, the UFC fighter who made the false, transphobic β€œMichelle Obama is a man” remark after winning at the white house ufc event. why use your victory to bring down a beautiful woman who has more accomplishments and global impact simply in the germs underneath her pinky fingernail than he’s had or will have in his entire pathetic existence?

India and other countries need to invest in their own sustainable economies. You need your own energy. Your own AI. Your own military. Your own vibrant software economy. The tradeoff with creating a remote offshore labor industrial complex in your country, is when shit hits the fan, it's your citizens that are laid off first. It was always a bad deal for foreign remote workers to be the cheap labor of western countries. No real labor rights, no seat at the table. Think about how the trillions of dollars created in tech actually meaningfully changed anything in those countries. It was just a quick paycheck, and a goodbye in exactly the worst moment. I believe certain countries are waking up that they can't just be serfs to the US forever, it just needs to be a focused goal of their politicians and people to actually make sure the direction meaningfully changes to more sustainability. And, it would be better for them and the US as a good balance of power, because the US will absolutely take advantage of it otherwise.

once you see the rich history of people trying to be left alone, the idea of any hierarchy based in surveillance, accusation, and disappearance is very low-energy and unattractive.

Three overvalued AI companies fast-tracking into the S&P500 under new rules that only took effect two weeks ago. Maybe a good time to exit American index funds? https://youtu.be/yhRjvX_t4hc

Idk why Europeans are so mad. You guys have Mistral, an amazing vibrant startup community, and countries who support young entrepreneurs with a clear and fair legal system, where anyone can build anything under rule of law. Stable energy with nuclear power, and some of the most aggressive and smart people working on the hardest problems, working 12 hours a day. Just build bro it will be OK!

I'm wondering what the end goal is here? If the government is the major lender of student loans, isn't it kind of financially irresponsible to make policies that make those lenders broke?
