My 9/11 is that my mutuals who are correctly annoyed with the $nvda boosters being like “actually it would be weird if he didn’t cheat, I would LOVE to suck his dick” are going on to emphasize how he sold out his country. Which like, please, u guys gotta wise up!!

wanting to try Fable 5.2 while it's included in Pro but having no outstanding complex project at the moment so resolving at the very least to set it on some mundane task is like my own personal version of hydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby

lol. obviously it’s a possibility she’s a spy but it’s crazy how credulous people in tech are about things like this. I see serious commentators treating it as if it were confirmed beyond doubt. Occam’s razor plus no evidence of MSS link suggests otherwise.
🚨 According to the FT, Alice Huang was such an incredible spy that even the CCP didn’t know who she was and was actively trying to gather intel about her Amazing!

Can anyone make the argument PhD stipends are too high *without* the presupposition that scholarship is a frivolous endeavor that has less societal value than every other “real” job? Bc everything I’ve come across has directly stated, or implicitly relied on, this argument!

better for the ICC to cease to exist entirely than for it to acquiesce to even a single one of these "compromises"
This is what is being discussed: a) granting immunity to heads of state; b) excluding ICC jurisdiction over nationals of non-state parties, even when they commit crimes on the SP territory; and c) denying the Court’s jurisdiction over cases covered by national legislation.

Joshua is right to express this but this seems pretty obvious to me and most people who aren’t China hawks. AI safety gets traction in DC when framed as great power rivalry -> instrumentally useful to emphasize China -> drinking your own koolaid.
In the spirit of holding myself accountable by saying in public the things which I say in private, I want to offer a very difficult thing to say - or even think - in this climate: the extreme hawk position on chip exports might turn out to be strategically wrong, and a crackdown on chip exports may be more destabilizing than people realize. Completely cutting China out of the upside of AI development this close to RSI and ASI may be sufficiently threatening to China's interests that it increases the pressure towards a hot conflict in the near term. A hot conflict with China is worse than a world where China remains a near-peer strategic competitor with whom we have tension but still have some room for cooperation. I'd like the AI safety China hawks to think about how to model this as part of arriving at a more carefully-considered position.

Also doesn’t help that DC careerists types who are happy to say whatever helps them advance learn to parrot this. If you’re at all concerned about timelines you should want less gpu concentration aka more chips sold to china.

This is how easy it is to comment on something you have a financial interest in without throwing away your credibility. Not sure why 80% of the tweets I see praising or criticizing a product struggle to clear that bar!

NEW: In further embarrassing AI executive news this evening, OpenAI's national security officials were tricked into thinking they were speaking to the Ukrainian Intelligence service. It was actually a Russian prank duo, and they uploaded the call online. theintercept.com/2026/11/11/…

On one hand, boards have to do what they have to do. On the other hand, he's a guy who's worth $150bn, knows everyone in hardware, named his company after the Latin word for "spite," and he lives in a state where you can't enforce noncompetes.

As I’ve been saying, the offer Big Tech is making to rural communities basically amounts to becoming a company town without the jobs.

This all seems kind of wholesome compared to Elon Musk's harem compound with a bulletproof NDA and mob attorneys delivering vials of his bodily fluids because of his botched penis enlargement attempt.

he just dropped 90k for darline graham and almost 500k to right wing defense industry pac "americans 4 security". when he says 'progressive' he means pols like auchincloss, goodlander, and mark warner (all of whom he's donated to)
Politico: The Tech Right Pivots Left Nowhere is that hard pivot more on display than with Alex Karp, the CEO and co-founder of secretive tech giant Palantir, which bet massively on Trump 2.0 and became an administration darling in the process Inside Palantir’s Manhattan lair, in an exclusive sitdown with Playbook, Karp — who once criticized the Democratic Party as “totally irresponsible” — deployed the word ‘progressive’ eight times to describe his philosophy while acknowledging Democrats ‘absolutely’ corrected in 2026 enough to win back his support in 2028. Karp: “I’ve been a Democrat my whole life. I grew up in a far left environment. I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet, and I absolutely believe Palantir— all of our products are essentially progressive.” Link to article: politico.com/newsletters/pla…

Important message from Adelson. The pro-Israel sphere is going to be getting a lot more aggressive in the next two years because they know where the America-Israel relationship is heading. They will resort to whatever tactics they deem necessary to harshen the occupation.
Miriam Adelson: "Leaders and governments may change, but [the US-Israel] alliance must remain strong." "We have two years in this administration to create true change—to face and defeat our true common enemy together." "That is our responsibility."
