From ESPN: “Saturday’s stop marks the seventh time Utah has hosted College GameDay and the third time in the last four seasons the show has made the trip to Salt Lake City. Since 2023, only Ohio State and Alabama have welcomed the show more frequently.”

A few reflections heading home from the Bills game tonight as a Canadian. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🏈
There is a lot of noise in the Canada-U.S. relationship right now. Trade fights, tariffs, political rhetoric and plenty of frustration on both sides of the border.
But then you spend a night in Buffalo.
Canadians and Americans tailgating together. Singing both anthems. Cheering for the same team. Talking football, families and life. Nobody asking who won the latest political argument.
It is a good reminder that our relationship is much bigger than whoever happens to occupy political office at any particular moment.
We share communities, businesses, friendships, families, sports and a border that has connected us for generations.
Governments will disagree. We should stand up for our respective interests when they do.
But we shouldn’t lose sight of each other in the process.
Tonight felt like a reminder of that.
Break tables, not relationships. 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸

An Alabama fan commented this under an Arkansas post about how hog fans are boycotting games. I’ll just let you read it…
BILLS WIN! Josh Allen: 334 yards, 4 total TDs. Dalton Kincaid: 5 catches, 130 yards. Hell of a way to open the season. #BillsMafia #GoBills.

What Is To Be Done?
I propose a simple plan:
Big AI companies should be allowed to build AI as fast and aggressively as they can – but not allowed to achieve regulatory capture, not allowed to establish a government-protect cartel that is insulated from market competition due to incorrect claims of AI risk. This will maximize the technological and societal payoff from the amazing capabilities of these companies, which are jewels of modern capitalism.
Startup AI companies should be allowed to build AI as fast and aggressively as they can. They should neither confront government-granted protection of big companies, nor should they receive government assistance. They should simply be allowed to compete. If and as startups don’t succeed, their presence in the market will also continuously motivate big companies to be their best – our economies and societies win either way.
Open source AI should be allowed to freely proliferate and compete with both big AI companies and startups. There should be no regulatory barriers to open source whatsoever. Even when open source does not beat companies, its widespread availability is a boon to students all over the world who want to learn how to build and use AI to become part of the technological future, and will ensure that AI is available to everyone who can benefit from it no matter who they are or how much money they have.
To offset the risk of bad people doing bad things with AI, governments working in partnership with the private sector should vigorously engage in each area of potential risk to use AI to maximize society’s defensive capabilities. This shouldn’t be limited to AI-enabled risks but also more general problems such as malnutrition, disease, and climate. AI can be an incredibly powerful tool for solving problems, and we should embrace it as such.
To prevent the risk of China achieving global AI dominance, we should use the full power of our private sector, our scientific establishment, and our governments in concert to drive American and Western AI to absolute global dominance, including ultimately inside China itself. We win, they lose.
And that is how we use AI to save the world.
It’s time to build.
Spare us the tag team routine. Dario and Sam agreeing to "pace the frontier" isn't safety. It's two CEOs forming a cartel with better PR.
Anthropic and OpenAI want a slower frontier because it's one only they can afford to compete on. The evaluators, the auditors, the compliance apparatus. Every layer is a toll booth, and the incumbents own the road.
And the obvious question still has no answer. How does throttling American labs help us win the AI race? It doesn't. You can regulate San Francisco. You cannot regulate Beijing. Every constraint on US builders is a head start gifted to China.
Slow yourselves down all you want. But when the two biggest labs lobby Washington to slow down everyone else, that's not caution. That's capture.
#RegulatoryCapture #OpenSourceAI #FollowTheMoney
Three "independent" groups. One funder. Same talking points within 15 minutes, plus an embargoed Journal story. That's not discourse. That's a product launch.
The product is panic. Panic is what makes regulation possible, and regulation is what makes Anthropic's moat possible. The wallet behind the fear is the wallet behind the company.
110M views, zero followers. Distribution was bought. Now we can see the supply chain.

Chamath @chamath: how does an account with no followers get 110 million views in a day?
David Sacks @DavidSacks had an answer, on the same All-In @theallinpod taping. Within 15 minutes of the Anthropic researcher's doomsday resignation post, three policy groups amplified it: ENCODE AI's Nathan Calvin, the AI Policy Network's Peter Wildeford, and the AI Futures Project's Daniel Kokotajlo, who dropped a Rogan episode the same day using the same phrasing. All three groups are funded by Jaan Tallinn, who co-led Anthropic's Series A. The Wall Street Journal published a story on the resignation minutes before the tweets went out, meaning the paper had been briefed under embargo. The researcher had agreed to appear on the show and cancelled the morning of taping.

All the regulations being floated by frontier model companies must be viewed through the lens of them losing tokens to Open-Source models.
The timing of these regulations seems to line up perfectly with Open Source closing the gap significantly (but not completely) — and @nvidia going all in on open source in the last 60 days.
If we’re gonna regulate, why don’t we require that last year’s frontier models and weights be open-sourced?
Arkansas fans, welcome to Salt Lake City. First time our programs have ever met — looking forward to a great one Saturday night. Go Utes.

Starbase Louisiana will ultimately have over a dozen launch towers, enabling more than 30 Starship flights per day and making it the biggest launch site on Earth!
SpaceX makes sci-fi real.
Introducing Starbase, Louisiana – a high-cadence launch site that will enable Starship to open a pathway to the stars for humanity.
Thank you to @LAGovJeffLandry and the great people of Louisiana for all of their support as we work together on this audacious project → spacex.com/sites/starbase-la

I just dropped my son off at @UCBerkeley housing and as we were approaching we saw this behind his apartments. Shame on @CityofBerkeley @CityofAlbanyCA @UCBerkeleyNews

This is a big moment for computing and @NVIDIA. We’ve made the leap from building chips to creating a new investable asset class: AI factory infrastructure. Every company will be powered by it. Every country will build it.
Thanks to Larry Fink of @BlackRock, Jon Gray of @blackstone, Bruce Flatt of @Brookfield, David Solomon of @GoldmanSachs, Jim Zelter of @apolloglobal, and Waldemar Szlezak of @KKR_Co for joining me in this historic partnership to build the infrastructure of the AI industrial revolution.

Far more than that.
As I’ve said publicly, bandwidth demand will increase massively due to AI & robotics. Their need for data transfer is orders of magnitude more than humans!
Even if the communications market merely doubles in size, I would expect Starlink to reach at least 25% market share outside of China (maybe one day in China too), which would be over half a trillion dollars in revenue per year.
It’s not out of the question that Starlink carries more than 50% of Internet traffic long-term, which would probably be over a trillion/year. There is no obvious impediment to that outcome so far.

.@CNBC just highlighted Louisiana as the model for attracting data center investment—and @Meta is a great example of why.
They're not just growing our economy. They're investing in Louisiana communities, supporting local nonprofits, and making a real difference across our state.
That's what makes this partnership work.
