Don’t listen to this guy. Keep investing in ETFs.

Given the outrage over some of my recent posts, I'd like to take the time to clarify certain things. I don't hate India but I am honest about what India is in relation to the world and to our nation. For example, Indians love to point out their moral superiority because they didn't colonize like the West or conquer like Islam, except they're doing both right now. India's model of colonization is comparable to strip mining. They displace native workers, my neighbors, break employment and civil rights laws in order to take over companies and ship their value back to India. Everything they accuse the West of doing to them, they are currently doing all the while claiming to be victims. It’s not painting a nice picture for y’all. India is an aggressive, dishonest, exploitative, bad faith actor on the global stage. That is what created the "hate" against India. It isn't racism or Hinduphobia (bravo on using leftist whiny language) but y’all’s own actions that tarnished your reputation. No one hated Indians when I was in high school. Y’all did this to yourselves but blame everyone else. But what about India's contributions to my life? The only reason I'm in America is because of what India took from my family: opportunity... and America gave it to them, no questions asked. When I upset Democrats or Republicans in my home country, one thing I rarely receive are death and rape threats, but when I upset India, I get them by the hundreds, which is… interesting… Even my faith, which comes from the Vedic traditions, was founded in the United States in 1966. America even gave me my relationship with God. India has the right to be an aggressor, and it is, but America has the right to respond in kind. And then there's the distinctly abusive style of manipulation that Indians looooove to use against me. They constantly tell me how I'll never be accepted and that "they'll" come for me next. This is a lie. Americans has always been welcoming to my ancestors. The only people who ever attack my place in America are Indians because they don't know what it is to be a good neighbor.  For example, America is a Protestant nation, which has extended their principles of religious liberty even to non-Christians. The right way to respond to that is to be gracious. It's not to build hundred foot tall statutes. Indians will often point to their colonial experience to suggest equivalency but I will remind them that their problem is with the British, not America. We don't owe y’all a damn thing, least of all appeasements for your grievances. The shocker to y’all is I am loyal to America and she is loyal to me in return. Americans cherish the natural beauty of their great land. They don't treat it like a garbage dump. American people look to make the world better, not greedily snatch whatever they can. Americans sacrificed their own demographic power out of the environmental belief that it would help make the world better, but Indians don't see nobility in that. They just see it as an opportunity for them to take advantage. This is why I am safe on the streets of America but not on India's. This is why I'm a welcome guest on podcasts, in country clubs, political organizations, churches, and on stage with the President himself, but I'm warned that India's government watches me (lol) and that I would be in danger if I went to India. America loves me and I love her in return, which is why I dedicate my professional work to helping care for its patients. It's the least I can do to thank America for giving me a great life. I'm not Indian and you don't get to claim me. I don't hate you. In fact, like most Americans, I don't think about you unless I have to. I wish India all the best but I don't want it come at the expense of my countrymen, and they ARE my countrymen and you're not.

We can't go on like this...

Like body-cams exposed criminals, social media is exposing how many Americans have been displaced by foreigners. It’s everywhere and far worse than any of us could imagine.

I used AI to explain the AI pacing drama, with fruit.

This might be the best political chart ever made…

If you’re not from DFW, I don’t think you have an idea how significant the immigration issue is here. I don’t mean the mass of the problem, but rather how personal and widespread the frustration is among the residents regardless of political affiliations. Even before my post, it’s been the topic at almost every dinner or party. If you’re from here and anything less than the upper class, you have a deep resentment for the companies and politicians ushering in foreigners at the expense of your home. We’ve watched some of the most liberal progressive people we know pull their kids out of public schools because they’re the only Americans left in their class. I don’t know how these people will vote, but they are facing the reality of their progressivism. A lot of these people are uncomfortable having the discussion in public given it touches a raw part regarding race. I get the sensitivity and there is a sense in which that’s right. But if our politicians want the support of the people of Texas, they’re going to have to recognize that however silent, there is a significant majority that feel disenfranchise, betrayed and a level of despair watching their home be transferred to newcomers. These are not hateful, mean or racist people. They simply want to give their kids an upbringing that resembles the one they had. They want their kids to go to schools with other English speaking Americans, meet kids at the park they can be friends with and they don’t want their kids to be minorities. This is normal and good. If Bo’s post was over the line for you then you’ve lost touch with every voter and are in for a rude awakening.

Alex Karp has more wisdom than Elon Musk.

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.

These AI lab CEOs are calculated killers, they’re not just going to roll over and allow other companies or countries to outcompete them. Deeper things happening. It’s all part of the game.
