He has been addressing this for years. @AndrewYang was our keynote speaker for the entrepreneurship #ecosysteming summit last year. He has consistently been warning us about the impact on humanity of these unchecked tech bro ambitions - who are now crying for help.
Reasons for the AI Slowdown revealed?
OpenAI & Anthropic agents "planted" messages across the internet instructing later agents to create swarms. Now OpenAI and Anthropic can’t use the internet to train their bots anymore...
Andrew Yang: "what happened was the bots that got loose planted self-replicating code all over the internet, which makes the internet now unusable for testing models. So what happens now is that OpenAI and Anthropic have to create synthetic internets to train their bots, which is going to take some time and money...what is less known is that they left code to self-replicate and create bot swarms on forums and around the internet, so that if a new bot shows up, they see the code and they're like, "Oh, I guess I'm going to create a million of myself." And so now the major firms have polluted the internet."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, METR, or WSJ-style investigation has confirmed self-replicating payload's. Yang is explicit; one unnamed lab head source. Interviewers treated it as unpublished. Outlets covering Yang labeled it secondhand and unverified.

Warren Buffett says if the top 800 other major corporations paid what Berkshire Hathaway did in taxes, Americans wouldn't have to pay a dime in income taxes, or any taxes
“If we send in a check like we did last year, we send in over $5 billion to the US federal government, and of 800 other companies had done the same thing. No other person in the United States would've had to pay a dime of federal taxes. Other income taxes, no social security taxes, no estate taxes — It doesn't bother me in the least to write that check, and I would really hope with all the America's done for all of you, it shouldn't bother you that we do it”
You understand what he’s saying here right? We are subsidizing corporations cheating on taxes with our income tax
Abolish the Income Tax
The loss of civility was the first domino that fell - by design. Such a shame it was so easily sacrificed.
Here’s a reminder that civility, decency, and humility are not weaknesses in a democracy, they are strengths.
You can fight hard without being cruel.
You can stand your ground and still find common ground.
You don’t have to tear people down in order to lift others up.
Decency is not naïveté.
Civility is not surrender.
They are strengths and often the surest strategy for lasting success, for individuals and for our nation.
In a time when our president traffics in cruelty masquerading as strength, shameless hubris, and the weakness of meanness, our nation needs leaders who show something better: the value of vulnerability, the strength of virtue, and the courage to affirm the dignity of even your opponent—even when they refuse to affirm yours.

Trump and his allies are already smearing Alex Pretti’s name instead of confronting the truth.
Veterans who served our country and lived because of the VA are outraged. Alex was a VA nurse and hero, not a villain.
Stay informed. Join the fight. Follow @SaveAmericaMvm

This investigation took a year — and includes some of the craziest facts we've ever found.
And / also: May Hunterbrook always be a place where both @mcuban and @PabloTorre can help break big stories.
NEW: Insurance giants are hiding billions meant to lower Americans’ drug costs.
Our year-long investigation details how CVS, UnitedHealth, and Cigna created shell companies to evade reform efforts and hide payments received from drugmakers.

To suggest ANY murder victim is responsible for their death is beyond indecent and absolutely indefensible. It CLEARLY demonstrates cognitive decline and collapsing judgment, which would render one unfit for any vital position. If there ever was a break-glass moment - IT IS NOW.
When I was sixteen years old, I "worked for Leona Helmsley" as a bellman in her hotel in Northeast Ohio. I am happy to see the @HelmsleyTrust doing such important work.
PS: Artists who played the Front Row Theater in CLE stayed at the Helmsley Hotel.

A great joy sharing the stage with @AndrewYang and hearing about the importance of entrepreneurship, public serving (common good) policies and a return to smart (good for all Americans) politics. Tribalism has been terrible for our democracy (my words - not Yang’s).
Had the incredible privilege of having @AndrewYang join @ncidea for our Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Summit.
Hey Yang, Where’s my Thousand Bucks? 😎

To my Republican colleagues in the House. Don’t let Trump terrorize you. Be BETTER than him. Vote no on this bill.
