“Hegseth claimed that the goal of the operation is not "regime change" in Iran — but expressed satisfaction that the Iranian regime "has changed" as a result of the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei by Israel. ” (Source: Axios).
Deja vu for marcom: when your chief exec keeps changing the goalpost, timeline, & outsourced the main project to a partner you just learned about, then asked the least reliable exec to make the announcement.
Wanna bet they have no clue about running a business?
Federal grands required already an insane amount of paperwork submitted to people who had no clue about the research you used the money for. Now imagine having to report to a government person who is responsible for monitoring the “investment “ in your company.

2. Sell these papers to legitimate scientists who are pressured to produce large quantities of papers to keep their jobs. They will submit them to legitimate journals and get approved based on previous reputation.
3. Run this new business as the mafia. Collect boatloads of money.
How to take science down and make millions in the process in 3 steps:
1. Start a scientific papermill and start producing scientifically sounding papers with AI-generated content, plagiarized copy, fake data, made up graphs, stolen copyrighted images.
Rhetorical question:Why d ooo all posts about success always feature some young man? Always a man? Even when the author is a woman, like @SuzyWelch , in this case?

I have to admit that do like GPT5’s logical vibe more than the “LET’S GOOOOOO” of 4. I trained 4 to be like 5 before it became 5. Just sayin’…
I’ve been writing about this for a while now: AI can be a huge force for good and help us solve some of the most challenging problems humanity faces. it can also be the most destructive force humanity created. Utopia turning into dystopia is already happening.

Primate capitalism. Even the monkeys figured out how to make a profit, even if it’s using questionable tactics. No “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” here. Every monkey for itself. 🐵

A more accurate statement would have been “not are g a world with some version of an intelligent (we’re way past smart right now) device. Not necessarily an iPhone-like device but having multiple functions. apple.news/AeE_bAvE-S1K...
Interest rates need to come down, allowing companies to invest more in this economy. Also: we need more agile economic policies that can quickly respond to the rapid fluctuations in global economies and take into consideration new business models and technology

How will this apply to the numerous outsourced call centers and engineers most US companies use?

Are the rockstars going to turn into mercenaries just for the money and do whatever is required of them (in this case, build a massive surveillance-style agent that runs your entire life based on the data it gathered from your 15 year + of posting on @Meta platforms? That remains to be seen…
Is it again go hire talented people first before your competitors snatch them (or snatch them from your competitors) as the Valley used to do and then let them sit on the sidelines?
While I’m happy to see scientists and engineers getting recognized like the rockstars they are, this insane race is getting ridiculous. Plus, I really question the ultimate aim.

Amen to that. Most people think about abundance solely in financial terms. It’s not. It’s about unconstrained thinking, which leads to unique ideas, which leads to financial abundance.
AI is no longer a tool but infrastructure.This week alone:
• OpenAI + Oracle = +4.5 GW AI buildout
• Trump admin deregulates AI infrastructure
• $90B pledged to power & labor for AI
Everyone else is chasing apps. The winners are building foundations.

It’s time to acknowledge and be comfortable with it. User-set privacy only protects you in a controlled environment.
Can we all agree that privacy is dead and stop pretending is not? From face recognition AI glasses to wearables that record everything, privacy is gone. You might take steps to protect it, but once you run into someone with these types of wearables, all bets are off.
Caution: your todo list will grow in size as it adds actionable tasks it picked up from conversations, including the ones you were hoping to use the “I don’t remember“ excuse.

How needs surveillance when we can all become walking wiretaps? New wearables that record EVERYTHING are on the rise the latest: Amazon buying the Bee bracelet. Now you’ll know how many times you use the F word and in which context.

We need to stop treating AI/AGI in terms of human-level intelligence and having the same reasoning processes. They are not. They are something different and are evolving in a completely different direction. Which is a cause for celebration, not fear.

Totally worth the 2+ h of conversation between @lexfridman and @demishassabis . Interesting perspectives - from the nature of reality to the evaluation of AI to AGI to solving real problems to living in a world where abundance is shared (but purpose might be lacking). www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hzg...
The U.S. just launched the AI Marshall Plan.
→ Deregulation for AI builders
→ Fast-tracked chip fabs & data centers
→ Global AI exports vs. China
→ Workforce funding to scale infra
→ Cybersecurity standards from DHS
This isn’t theory; it’s game time.
