Thank goodness for @JensenHuang …

On September 15, the Senate failed to move the CLARITY Act forward. After over a year of negotiation and more than 1M contacts from advocates, the Senate walked away from clear rules millions of Americans needed.
In November, remember who stood up for crypto—and who stood in the way.

THIS is the type of misleading rhetoric we are used to from corrupt Democrat politicians that live like multi millionaires without EVER working a day in their lives outside of academia and public (dis)service.
Sherrod brown is a stooge for the Banking Industry, the original oligarchs…
Yet Bernie, multi-house Sanders, whose policies would bankrupt America, claims that the crypto lobby opposes him on behalf of oligarchs who want control.
Only the crypto lobby wants the ability to COMPETE in an OPEN system rather than one where the banks make $100s of BILLIONS extra from government rules that protect them while they pay no real interest to savers.
I would say he and the Democrats that blocked Clarity should be ashamed of themselves, but they don’t appear to have any shame…
This is what oligarchy and political corruption is all about.
Crypto billionaires are now spending $30 million to defeat Sherrod Brown in Ohio — only days after Senate Democrats blocked their CLARITY Act.
We cannot allow billionaires to buy elections.
Fight back!

Strive is on its 72nd consecutive daily dividend, and @coffeebreak_YT still hasn’t uploaded the video to his channel.
When will he upload it?
Sat down with @coffeebreak_YT today on Bitcoin and Digital Credit.
His edit will drop soon. Posting the full raw hour for anyone who wants the unfiltered version.
Enjoy

This coordinated effort from Dario, Elon and Sam is not about AI safety, it’s about regulatory capture.
Shared my thoughts on @NewsNation
leaf retweeted
Obama is reportedly urging Democrats to make AI a central issue in the 2028 election and prepare a new "governance framework" if they regain the House.
This is how regulatory capture starts: turn a transformative technology into a partisan fear campaign, then let Washington decide who may build it, how fast it may advance, and who gets access.
The last thing AI needs is to become another political battlefield controlled by decels who barely understand the technology.

The AI Lie: Top AI leaders are not worried that AI is "advancing too fast." They are worried that AI is so wide-open that start-up AI firms will eat their lunch. Existing, large AI firms are trying to scare the public about an existential threat from AI so that they get regulation that suppresses start-ups. Monopoly guaranteed by law and regulation is a standard anti-competitive move by big business. You heard it here first.

Excellent framing here!
Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.
You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.
I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.
But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.
Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.
Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.
So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.
If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

alignment aristocracy
/uh-LINE-ment air-uh-STAH-kruh-see/
noun
The belief that only a small class of frontier AI labs possesses the technical judgment, institutional maturity, or moral legitimacy required to develop recursively self-improving artificial intelligence.
Especially: the view that advanced AI capabilities are too dangerous to be widely distributed, openly developed, or pursued by less established competitors, while continued development by incumbent frontier labs is treated as uniquely responsible or justified.
See also: safety paternalism, recursive exceptionalism, moral monopoly, safety cartel.
“Alignment aristocracy begins when ‘no one can be trusted with this technology’ quietly becomes ‘no one but us.’”

David Sacks is absolutely correct on this point:
Hey Dario, if you want to slow down, go ahead and slow the F down.
Just don't try to enforce a regulatory cartel on everybody else.

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 🤣

Step 1) Force everyone to slow down while Anthropic (and OpenAI) currently ahead in the AI race
Step 2) Lobby the US govt against open source AI over ‘safety concerns’
Step 3) Profit off of de facto AI monopoly while competition drowns in regulatory moat
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

In her latest sciolistic letter to me, @SenWarren made it clear that she knows even less about foreign exchange markets than she does about banking.
What is equally shocking, but not surprising: not a single member of the media mob has a rudimentary-enough level of financial market literacy to spot her remedial error.
To reiterate: under @POTUS, the United States delivers for America’s trusted partners.
For a fuller explanation, I recommend Senator Warren take any entry level course in international finance for her and her staff, or I can personally give her a tutorial on Foreign Exchange for Dummies. Although I am not holding my breath, I hope her next letter will demonstrate that she has learned the difference between a currency purchase and a swap or a loan.

🇺🇲Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s latest financial disclosure reveals she holds Bitcoin and Ethereum in her $1.2 million retirement account.
So why did the “Squad” staple vote against major crypto legislation in Congress?
Tlaib voted last month against the pro-crypto CLARITY Act.
She voted last year for a resolution to ban “crypto corruption.”
The Democratic Socialist gets to profit from legislation she keeps trying to stomp out.
If crypto is so bad, why is Tlaib investing in it?
