Jeff Bezos’ advice to Ari Emanuel:
“When you’re on the field, be on the field. But remember, you can’t always be on the field. There has to be a time-out, halftime. You have to heal. Recover. The show must go on, sure, but the game must stop, now and then, for the players to catch their breath.”

On this day 35 years ago, in 1991, MTV aired the music video for Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the first time.
The rest is history.

🚨 NOW: Anthropic chief DARIO just walked up and said President Trump helped put his Super Intelligence worries at ease
"If we do this right, we work with the President and everyone here, we can win safely!"
Imagine that, all it took was DONALD J. TRUMP getting involved and the tables are turning!
No more SI dooming, no more surrendering to China.
America will remain number one BOTH for national and economic security, as long as Trump is president 👏🏻

I have worked to make Dayton and Ohio the aerospace capital of the world. Between growing Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, to supporting the growth of Dayton’s innovative and robust aerospace industry, we have done just that. Leveraging the strengths of Wright-Patterson and NASA-Glenn, Ohio is best possible place for the Space Academy to train future generations of aerospace leaders.

Another great point from @jason. The large closed model corporations have publically admitted their products are defective & can be used to hack/cause cyber crimes. They should 1) fix these issues, & 2) disclose these large (seemingly likely) liabilities in their S-1.
The frontier model companies are responsible for how their products perform in the real world, and their customers are responsible for how they use them.
If a user of Claude runs a cyberattack — especially one at scale — both the customer and the platform will be sued.
This should be enough of an incentive to force these companies (let’s stop calling them labs) to produce safe products AND monitor for unsafe use (i.e. ie hacking).
These frontier models have the option to lock them down… they can require a driver's license, Social Security number/tax ID, biometrics, etc., to use the latest models if they’re so dangerous—just like buying a gun or driving a car. They can monitor the logs of the latest models, too.
Or they can provide anonymous access to their open-source models…there are plenty of safeguards that I don’t hear any of them talk about—which is odd.
