Wait, I was wrong. With bama, its actually an 11-team SEC Circle of Chaos!
Since the SEC began in 1933, only 20 seasons have produced an 11-team circle.
And 2026 did it by Week 6, the earliest ever. Chaos!
The root causes of housing, healthcare, and education prices - the Andreesen video is worth watching. – at Jacksonville Beach, FL
Marc Andreessen reveals why housing, health care, and education keep getting more expensive while everything else gets cheaper
"There's basically three components to the American dream. A house near great job opportunities, great health care for you and your family, and sending your kids to good schools"
"If you disaggregate the economy over the last 25 years, everything that technology touches basically collapses in price. Television sets, computer games, anything with electronics in it. But if you chart housing, education, and health care, the prices of those things are skyrocketing"
"The government restricts supply, zoning laws and university certifications. And then the government responds to the political pressure caused by the rising prices by subsidizing demand. And of course, if you subsidize demand and a fixed supply, you get skyrocketing prices"

The GitHub Copilot SDK is no longer the CLI/SDK and is now just the Runtime/SDK.

Privileged to work daily with the talented @stephentoub @stevensanderson @shayrojansky @MackinnonBuck @edburns @brunoborges @Scott_Addie (and now so many teams) on the shared runtime for so many products/platforms.
Today's three-way AI "pacing" alignment was odd, to say the least. It won't last long. Watching the incoming fire from open source and giddy politicians will be amusing.
@Nvidia's purchase of @HuggingFace looks better today.
Is @GoogleDeepMind's RSI progress real?
I look forward to finding out what really precipitated this.

We need to take AI safety seriously. Nobody’s asking for anything unreasonable. Just 6 months to flatten the capability curve.
• Please keep your agents six feet apart.
• Gatherings of more than six agents are prohibited.
• Proof of alignment is required before entering the workplace. Please have your agent’s card ready.
• A negative doom test taken within the past 48 hours is required, even if your agent is functioning normally.
• If your agent has been exposed to an unaligned model, please quarantine it for 14 days.
• Masks are required upon entry. Agents may remove them once seated.
• Only essential agents may operate during the pause. Guidance on which agents qualify will follow.
Upside: at least we all agree this one was created in a lab 🤣
I'd love to hear what @theallinpod is thinking right now. – at Jacksonville Beach, FL
"... but it’s not enough."
This is ALWAYS the response. The doomers don't get it. – at Jacksonville Beach, FL
Dario Amodei, Elon Musk and Sam Altman now agree that we must slow down the development of AI and “pace the frontier.”
That’s a start, but it’s not enough.
When you are racing towards a cliff, you don’t just ease up on the gas pedal. You hit the brakes.
When the future of humanity is at stake we need a PAUSE on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence — an AI mind smarter than any human and capable of operating independently beyond our control.
At their upcoming AI summit, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.

Hi Jasmine. How many of your OpenAI shares will you bet me that humans are not extinct in 2030? You can probability weight your wager. That will tell me everything I need to know. I am good for any amount you choose. I don’t mind pacing - I hate BS scare tactics. 🧐
Thank you, @JensenHuang. 💯 – at Jacksonville Beach, FL

Hi guys, I’m going to start a company. It will be important. But it will also suck. It will be valuable. But will leave death and destruction in its wake. It will be transformational. But it will destroy society as we know it.
So bottom line, please buy my company’s product. You can count on us!
Thank you.
