Dear AI Gods: We’ve known it since Trump won. Humanity is at the end times. We accept it. Can we ask one favor? Tell us the month/year when the jig will be up. Many of us have some serious planning, and partying, to do. Thank you.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

I am so sad to report that Roger Simon died early this morning. He had been ill for some months but went peacefully at the end. He was a brilliant journalist, a gifted columnist, the author of many books about presidential campaigns and other things. He was also wickedly funny. He was courageous in the face of adversity that befell him more than a dozen years ago. So much to be admired. He was Chicago born and worked there and in Baltimore before closing out his remarkable career in Washington, lastly at Politico. He and I met as college journalists and he and his wife Marcia became the dearest of friends with my wife Nancy and me for 60 years. I mourn his loss and know so many others will too. RIP, Friend.

Every Democratic candidate has been handed a golden sword.
Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

Funniest comment on #SOTU, I think, was from Factbase of Roll Call: Trump's 1 hr 47 min speech was exactly the length of Alfred Hitchcock's classic film "Psycho".

Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

NEW: Forecaster who has predicted almost every election since 1984, says Kamala Harris will likely win the election in November. Allan Lichtman, who correctly predicted Trump would win in 2016 & Biden in 2020, says his forecasts point to a Harris win. Lichtman uses '13 keys' to make his predictions: The "keys" are: – party mandate – contest – incumbency – third party – short-term economy – long-term economy – policy change, – social unrest – scandal – foreign/military failure – foreign/military success – incumbent charisma – challenger charisma As of now, Harris has 6 keys and Trump only has 3. Lichtman still has four keys to hand out but Harris is already at 6 meaning, in his own words, "a lot would have to go wrong for Democrats to lose." Lichtman is waiting until the DNC to make his final prediction.

I am watching the Democratic Party self destruct and enabling Donald Trump and the demise of our democracy.
