The Schmarter Kid

 ⚡️🚨🇺🇸 BIG - In a now deleted post by former MMA fighter Daniel Cormier, he posted screenshots of Eric Trump trying to get an insider scoop on whether any of the MMA fights at the White House are rigged so that he could try and illegally make money off of them..

Below is the Direct Messages that Trump allegedly sent Cormier.

Kirch, kinder kitscht

" . . . this is a red tape-filled science policy of “losers”. If you think “cut funds from DEI-driven professors in the small departments no one cares about” is more important than “make sure the world’s strongest fundamental science continues”, you’re an idiot.

And yes, this is also the policy of “right-wing JD-brain” folks. They haven’t worked in a lab. They don’t know how we got AI, and recent cancer breakthroughs, and on and on. It’s all culture war, all the time – just the right-wing equivalent of the worst left-wing habits.

One last thing: I *hate* the term “administration priorities” or “President’s priorities”. Totally Unamerican! The President *executes* the law created by Congress, who represent the people, and who see turnover every two years. Period. “Oh, but Democrats do this too!” Grow up!

 ⚡️🚨 ICYMI - The U.S government gave Anthropic 90 minutes to shut down Fable and Mythos

“Amazon AND others” called senior administration officials to warn about models’ capabilities 

Then:

1:00pm: Government calls. “Take it down.” 

Cites “national security threat.” No details.

Anthropic asks what the threat is so they can fix it. 

Government said NO.

5:30pm: Commerce letter arrives with export controls.

You have 90 minutes…

Sounds like Anthropic has, or will have, the ability to take the government down

Still bullish on crypto-economics

 

What the Bulls Get Right, and Where They Skip a Step

The bulls are right that this is not dot-com in the simplest sense. The leaders are profitable, the capex is funded largely from operating cash flow, and the infrastructure has actual users.

They are also right that early infrastructure cycles often look overbuilt before demand catches up — railroads, telegraphy, telecom fiber, broadband, cloud.

Strong AI can leverage the net, crypto and increasing quantum compute to unleash Bakuninesque destruction on the scale Demis described - as a dramatically abreviated industrial revolution.

Really what CYPHERPUNK 2027 is all about.  Crash through or crash.

KGB cryptofascism

 Cryptocurrency fills critical gaps that fiat channels cannot address, facilitating links to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), North Korean state-linked hackers, Hamas, and various designated facilitators

Does ANYBODY trust this Denali administration when it says "national security reasons"?

There is no daylight between the CCP and the WH.

Catholic guilt syndrome

 Anthropic brought this on themselves to a considerable degree, by (a) overselling doom and their own wares and (b) by literally and repeatedly calling for export controls themselves. If you say “Ohhhh it’s so dangerous something something beat China something something 10% chance of destroying all civilization something” often enough, sooner or later people might indeed want to put limits around your product.
