Jimmy Ba, an xAI co-founder, was the final speaker of the day, and he almost didn’t make it when his Tesla self-driving vehicle mistakenly steered onto the Bay Bridge. “Little did you know the AGI took a wrong turn on the highway and ended up on Treasure Island,” he joked, once he finally made it. Ba, who studied under famed AI researcher Geoffrey Hinton, reports directly to Elon Musk, and said he and the rest of the team look to Musk for guidance internally, and closely follow his tweets. “Every time the dude doesn’t post on X for more than 4 hours everyone gets nervous.” He boasted about X, formerly Twitter, being one of the best sources of human-made, natural language content for training xAI’s models. He was also firm in the view that scaling laws remain very much in place, and worth pushing to the limit: “Why wouldn’t you want to have a model that’s 10x smarter?” But he didn’t have very convincing answers when Eric challenged him on the “MechaHitler” debacle, when xAI’s Grok began spewing pro-Nazi content. He said the company’s goal was for Grok to find truth from “first principles,” but couldn’t explain how that squared with the reality that large language models are built from the corpus of words on the internet. “I think you know, the path to maximum truth-seeking is not without any hurdles,” he quipped. That was certainly the understatement of the day.

LinkedIn post by Bryan Cantrill I need to make a painful confession: somehow, LinkedIn has become an important social network to me. This isn't necessarily due to LinkedIn's sparkling competence, of course. To the contrary, LinkedIn is the Gerald Ford of social networks: the normal one that was left standing as the Richard Nixons and the Spiro Agnews of social media imploded around them. As with Gerald Ford, with LinkedIn we know that we're getting something a bit clumsy and boring, but (as with post-Watergate America!), we're also getting something that isn't totally crooked -- and that's actually a bit of a relief. But because I am finding I am spending more time here, we need to have some real talk: too many of you are using LLMs to generate content. Now, this isn't entirely your fault: as if LLMs weren't tempting enough, LinkedIn itself is cheerfully (insistently!) offering to help you "rewrite it with AI." It seems so excited to help you out, why not let it chip in and ease your own burden? Because holy hell, the writing sucks. It's not that it's mediocre (though certainly that!), it's that it is so stylistically grating, riddled with emojis and single-sentence paragraphs and "it's not just... but also" constructions and (yes!) em-dashes that some of us use naturally -- but most don't (or shouldn't). When you use an LLM to author a post, you may think you are generating plausible writing, but you aren't: to anyone who has seen even a modicum of LLM-generated content (a rapidly expanding demographic!), the LLM tells are impossible to ignore. Bluntly, your intellectual fly is open: lots of people notice -- but no one is pointing it out. And the problem isn't merely embarrassment: when you -- person whose perspective I want to hear! -- are obviously using an LLM to write posts for you, I don't know what's real and what is in fact generated fanfic. You definitely don't sound like you, so... is the actual content real? I mean, maybe? But also maybe not. Regardless, I stop reading -- and so do lots of others. To be clear, I think LLMs are incredibly useful: they are helpful for brainstorming, invaluable for comprehending text, and they make for astonishingly good editors. (And, unlike most good editors, you can freely ignore their well-meaning suggestions without fear of igniting a civil war over the Oxford comma or whatever.) But LLMs are also lousy writers and (most importantly!) they are not you. At best, they will wrap your otherwise real content in constructs that cause people to skim or otherwise stop reading; at worst, they will cause people who see it for what it is to question your authenticity entirely. So please, if not for the sanity of all of us than just to give your own message the credit it deserves: have some confidence in your own voice -- and write your own content.

“People say ‘inflation is up again.’ Wrong. Belief is down. I’ve seen the charts. They’re inverted, like the yield curve of the soul.”

Absolutely incredible how far out over his skis Sam is compared to Dario. If OpenAI hits a speed bump, they’re dead. Anthropic’s business is likely much less volatile.
The documents show that OpenAI expects to burn $9 billion after generating $13 billion in sales this year, while Anthropic expects to burn almost $3 billion on $4.2 billion in sales—roughly 70% of revenue for both. Anthropic then becomes a much more efficient business. In 2026, it forecasts dropping its cash burn to roughly one-third of revenue, compared with 57% for OpenAI. Anthropic’s burn rate falls further to 9% in 2027, while it stays the same for OpenAI. OpenAI’s large upfront investment, particularly for new chips and data centers, could pay off handsomely if demand for its products continues to surge. The company recently launched a new video app called Sora and a web browser named Atlas. It is working on a new consumer hardware device, e-commerce and advertising features for ChatGPT, and humanoid robots.

I see. I wonder if the families of the people you’re terrorizing can “opt out.”
The masks were a way for officers to opt out —to wall off the political complexities of their work or, for some, the moral ones. "The excuse I have heard is, 'I signed up for this, my family didn't," one ICE official wrote to me. They described colleagues who say they've been "demonized" by their relatives and neighbors, or who say their children have been taunted in elementary school. The official, who was not authorized to speak with reporters, sympathized with colleagues who wear masks, but acknowledged that masking has an insidious effect on police work.

Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now.

I get it. I have my own feelings.

Real mindfuck when I discovered how long it took to build some of the mega cathedrals in Europe

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne...
Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248, but was halted in the years around 1560. Attempts to complete construction began around 1814, but the project was not properly funded until the 1840s. The edifice was completed to its original medieval plan in 1880. The towers for its two huge spires give the cathedral the largest façade of any church in the world.

Yeah sure we’ll get right on it, thanks LinkedIn
Anonymized LinkedIn post Candidly I can't understand how smart people can be so stupid. Tax the rich <> Empower everyone. When Dems say Tax the Rich, nobody hears YOU will make more money. It is such an awful messaging, how can Dems not get it. The messaging should be Creation of Opportunities + Fair Taxation of Everyone.
