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.

For years, we were told the possibility of a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was a conspiracy theory. Now Anthony Fauci's former senior adviser, David Morens, has pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the United States by concealing COVID origins records.

I’m incredibly proud & excited to finally share what we’ve been building for the past 3 years…
Lifespan.com is now live 🚀
In a world of conflicting health advice, how can anyone distinguish between what’s supported by science and what’s just opinion?
I wanted to build something new. A place where scientists, engineers, industry leaders, and the public come together, where people can understand what the science actually says, and where we move healthcare beyond treating sickness toward extending healthy lifespan well beyond what’s currently possible.
Explore the new Lifespan Magazine. Watch the Lifespan show. Ask scientists questions. Join a global community. And help support research and the next generation of scientists working to extend healthy human lifespan.
I believe we’re at the beginning of a revolution in our understanding of human aging, and perhaps one day, our ability to change it. I want everyone to be part of it.
Built by scientists. Built for you. Lifespan.com
Life’s too short. Let’s change that, together! 👊

Great advice…
Tom Brady reveals his sports psychologist told him he had a 'shitty attitude' at Michigan
“'How about you start worrying about what you can control and stop talking about the coaches not putting you in?'”
“'If they give you three reps, you do the best with the three you get. Quit bitching about you only getting three.'”

Burger King was one of the few fast food chains who refused to disclose their ingredients
They just quietly released them this year and it’s so much worse than anyone could have imagined
- 120 ingredients in The Royal Chicken Spicy Sandwich
- 85 ingredients in their Whopper
The Whopper’s 85 different ingredients include multiple seed oils, processed sugars, preservatives
In the bun, you have things like potassium iodate, banned in Europe, UK, Australia, New Zealand. Also in the bun, you have mono and diglycerides, which are a preservative and dough conditioner which cause gut inflammation
The Royal Chicken Spicy Sandwich’s 120 ingredients include
- Multiple dough conditioners, which can lead to gut issues
- Silicone dioxide, the nanoparticles of which may be inflammatory in the human gut, multiple seed oils
- A piece of processed chicken coated in flour and food starches, battered, fried in rancid oxidized seed oils
- It contains antifoaming agents that are also found in Silly Putty, like dimethylpolysiloxane
- 3 different types of sauces, one of which has over 25 different ingredients.
“Burger King might just be the worst fast-food restaurant I've ever seen”
This is not food. It’s a chemical science experiment engineered to be as addictive as possible
No sandwich should ever include 85-120 ingredients

The largest single study ever conducted on vaccines and dementia found that flu shots increase the risk of Alzheimer's by 50%, and dementia by 38%.
They also increase the risk of flu by 27%.
Ridiculous…

This is how politicians and their families launder money. Nobody wants a book from Dr Biden. But some commie NGO that got taxpayer money from the admin can’t pay the kickback with a check. So they buy 100K books and burn em. The one-time bulk buy charts it for a week, then 💨

Atlas Shrugged made simple:
1. Society runs on a small number of highly capable producers – industrialists, inventors, engineers – whose work everyone depends on but takes for granted.
2. The system starts rewarding need over achievement: the more capable you are, the more you’re expected to sacrifice for those who aren’t.
3. Success gets treated like a debt – taxed, regulated, resented – until the most capable start asking why they bother trying at all.
4. One by one, led by a man named John Galt, they simply withdraw – walking away rather than keep propping up a system that punishes them for producing.
5. Without them, the whole structure collapses, revealing that the “automatic” prosperity everyone assumed was actually being generated by specific, irreplaceable people.
6. Atlas is the Titan from Greek myth, condemned to carry the sky on his shoulders forever – Rand’s stand-in for the producer class, holding up civilization while getting blamed for it.
7. “Shrugged” is the whole argument in one word: Atlas doesn’t fight, doesn’t protest – he just quietly sets the weight down. Nobody realized the sky was being held up by anyone in particular, until the day it isn’t.
You don’t want us? We just go…🤷🏻♂️
The Road to Serfdom made simple:
1. Plan the whole economy: someone must decide what gets made and who gets what, since people don’t naturally agree on one set of priorities.
2. These decisions are too big and detailed for normal democratic debate, so power shifts to a smaller group who can just act – technocrats.
3. Fixed laws everyone can rely on get replaced by case-by-case rulings, because a plan needs flexibility, not predictability.
4. Dissent becomes a problem to manage, not an opinion to vote on – the plan can’t work if people are free to ignore it.
5. Enforcing all that selects for people most willing to be ruthless – Hayek’s “worst get on top” – i.e. negative moral selection.
6. Since economics touches everything (your job, home, speech), controlling the economy ends up controlling your whole life.
That’s the "serfdom."

A Louisiana school district says some teachers will receive $50,000 bonuses this year thanks to increased tax revenue from a @Meta data center construction project.
Local officials said the windfall for teachers, funded by a portion of the parish’s sales tax, reflects an influx of economic activity that is revitalizing a slumping region.

Bill Maher asks how Mississippi is kicking California’s ass in education, and Texas is “blowing them away” in green energy for “way less money.”
“Did you know that a black fourth grader in Mississippi is two and a half times as likely to be proficient in math and reading as one in California? Mississippi is kicking our ass in education and for way less money. We’re 37th in fourth-grade reading, they’re ninth.”
“Texas is kicking our ass in green energy. The average time to get solar panels connected there is three to four months. About 1,000 days faster than it took me. Remember when I was trying to get my solar hooked up? It would have been quicker to build a windmill.”
“Texas has passed California in solar and blows away California when it comes to wind and energy storage. How does a state with no pro-climate policies produce better climate results than a state where here, even though we have so much better bumper stickers on our Priuses?”
“I’ll tell you why. Because you’re allowed to build there because every third person in Texas isn’t someone whose job it is to make sure nothing gets done.”
“Democrats, these are your issues: education, race, the environment.”
“And I say this with love: you’re losing to the Waffle House, car-on-the-lawn states.”

If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.

On page twenty-six of “The Billionaire Tax” proposal in California, it explains how the state legislature can convert from a Billionaire Tax to an Everyone Tax without voter approval.
They can also adjust the tax to be a yearly tax, not just one time…again, without your approval.
Intelligence test for you: if this was meant to just target Billionaires, why did they write this in?
The Billionaire Tax is actually an Everyone Tax.
The Billionaire Tax is a new tax proposal written by four professors who don't believe in the American dream. Some of them aren’t even American…go figure.
Despite its name, it applies to every California resident who currently has assets or ever will.
The creators named it the Billionaire Tax so you would get into a froth andwouldn't look closely at what it actually does to you.
On page twenty-six, it explains how the government can convert to an Everyone Tax without voter approval.
They can also adjust the tax to be a yearly tax, not just one time…again, without your approval.
Here's how the tax would work: As a voter, you're being asked to approve a tax that would require you to:
1. list all your assets and the value of each, then submit them to the California Franchise Tax Board.
2. authorize the tax board to appraise your assets and confirm the value of each.
3. pay a penalty of up to forty percent of your tax bill if the board determines your reported value was too low in their opinion.
4. allow the tax board to subpoena your financial records from every one of your financial institutions for auditing.
This Everyone Tax runs 34 pages of shifty language describing how the government plans to take your assets. Read the fine print and decide for yourself.
If this were truly a billionaire tax, it would be 3 pages.
It’s 34 pages so that it can create the mechanisms to steal from all of you.
