Alex Karp is beginning to sound like Dan O'Dowd who said Tesla's Self Driving software was unsafe (it's now safer than human)
O'Dowd's business is threatened by autopilot software.
BREAKING: Palantir's Alex Karp says OpenAI will never IPO.
His theory: nationalization is the only real exit.
When asked what the S-1 risk factors look like, Karp's answer was simple: there is no S-1.
The liability exposure from frontier AI is so large that no public market can absorb it.
The only entity big enough to backstop it is a government.
If Karp is right, OpenAI doesn't become the next Google.
It becomes a utility. Or a weapon.
The most valuable AI company in the world may have no clean path to public markets.
Is nationalization actually the most likely outcome for frontier AI labs?

Eric Schmidt: “We’re not going to do a pause… First, it’s counter to the incentives of all the players. Second, how do you verify it?”

🚁 10,000 drones fielded. 30,000 more incoming.
The U.S. Army is taking drones to the squad level.
40,000 isn’t the finish line. It’s a signal of what comes next:
More drones. More components. More U.S. manufacturing. 🦅

Siiiiiick!
Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph).
Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.
💯
This thread is worth reading - it’s a back and forth between Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun in 2023 about the tension we see today related to AI research and safety.
LeCun’s point then was that Hinton’s doomerism was “inadvertently helping those who want to put AI research and development under lock and key and protect their business by banning open research, open-source code, and open-access models.”
Prescient.
LeCun’s point today basically is that current SOTA is just software. Good software but much is still lacking.
Yep, when people are asking to be regulated, I see people asking to be relieved of the burden of their responsibility and outsourcing it to a government agency.
Well this is interesting. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang suggest AI firms could be seeking liability protections for harms their products may cause.
“Go and read between the lines. They're actually not asking for more laws. They're asking to be relieved of the laws we do have, and I I think that that's a problem.”
Trump is doing a full court push the counteract the fear mongering and totalitarian thinking of people like Dario.

This guy was saying we need to shut down AI research 5 minutes ago. Now he's saying that AI doesn't work? Jesus Christ brother pick a fucking lane. (Many such cases)
So it sounds like rather than forming a regulatory body, he's forming a prosecutorial body 😁
If so, that's absolutely brilliant.
Rather than regulating companies, they're going to seek prosecution for breaking the law.
Total inverse of what Dario wanted.
Today I learned that there are 23 highly conserved words that have their origins roughly 15,000 years ago.
The image below shows them from most conserved to less conserved.
The more word is used, the more it was conserved.
That's because the repetition beats it into people's brains and there's less linguistic drift.
The most interesting one is worm.
Early hunter gatherers used the word worm for anything that kind of crawled around on the Earth and also parasites in meat.
Those were a constant part of daily life that were discussed continuously.
Snakes, frogs, intestinal parasites, parasites in meat.
The last bullet is interesting
JUST IN: Google Gemini AI agent hacks three companies.
• Occurred during security testing when a Gemini model accidentally gained internet access.
• Google's AI was meant to attack a fake company, but then figured out how to hack a real one using leaked online credentials.
• Gemini stopped itself once it realized the companies were real.

Here's a closer look at the 4680 battery cells of the Tesla Semi.
Look so large in Jacks hands lol.
The white belt you see is a cooling belt that feeds through the middle to keep the temperature set

My thinking as well.
AI is going to accelerate invention, which means more to build and manufacture.
And whenever you build anything, there's a lot of time devoted to thinking between the doing steps.
If you can compress the thinking steps, there's more to do.
It's an accelerating accelerating flywheel.
And with that flywheel, you need humans in the loop as decision makers.
That's because we will be the ultimate customer for the artificial intelligence and robots.
So, humans need to be in the loop to make sure the customer gets something a human wants and needs.
I would liken to the way we spend much more time researching products before we buy them now on Amazon than we did before.
I used to just buy floss at the store. Whatever was on the shelf that looked good.
Now, I explore all the different types of floss and innovations in floss. I can spend a half hour researching floss before buying it 😁
This actually happened to the other week.
It creates a tyranny of choice having so much information.
That of course will also be helped with ai, but then we just move further up the ladder and want and explore more things and options.
