@acoyne Didn't Uruguay specifically have a breeding program to be less European, a weird law initially enacted to prevent claims of royalty

@merlinscapital I mean, we are the USA. We can definitely sign it and then enforce it. Actually makes sense if Trump enforced it. Lets make a deal, dont want to? ok, here is the deal. As long as he enforces it.

@BStoneBrief @KevinCastley @UhNuh53415 That’s the wrong thing to do but you’ll notice that the only complaint you can muster is about the government sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong. That’s the entire system in communism or fascism. So you want a more free market?

@jr_delecto @KevinCastley @UhNuh53415 That's why we keep stifling competition by handing out billions in subsidies and grants to people best able to schmooze and donate back to political parties.

@BStoneBrief @KevinCastley @UhNuh53415 The job of the economic system isn’t to make sure everyone does the right thing. Its job is to allow for innovation to make things easier and better for everyone, freedom to reward those who are the most innovative, productive and prosperity for people that contribute to society

Eby may still be Premier for at least this week, but the decline of BC was a team effort by the BC NDP. #bcpoli

Anthropic@AnthropicAI·
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Firstly, it's a pipe-dream to imagine that local models can manage the vast compute and context required of a frontier model like Fable. Maybe some distant future, but not now. Secondly, I think we are approaching a major hockey-stick moment (and it's been accelerating since last September with the pivot to agentic AI, thanks in large part to Anthropic's pioneering work), and the entire economy is accelerating into the unknown. This requires some intentionality and a lot of control. This isn't software. This is more like a weapon test.

🚨BREAKING: 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…

I wonder why @elonmusk, who is Canadian, decided not to build his civilization-changing, historic-levels-of-wealth-creating companies in Canada? It will remain a mystery.

@mileslunn Could I have 1000 pebbles and some jackoff buys one of my pebbles for $1000, instantly making me a millionaire?

Musk is a trillionaire in wealth not income. Essentially if sold all assets would have that but never made anywhere near. If a company worth $10 trillion and one owns 10% of shares they are a trillionaire. If company value falls, their net worth falls irrespective of income
Rachel Gilmore@atRachelGilmore

Put differently, if you made a dollar every second, you would be a millionaire in just under 12 days. It would take you just under 32 years to become a billionaire. You would have to have been born 31,709 years ago — in the Upper Paleolithic era — to become a trillionaire. IF YOU MADE A DOLLAR EVERY SECOND!!!!

@mileslunn Correct. It's a shell game of people inflating the value to launder money.

@SteveOnSpeed The ones pretending to be financially literate are just corrupt and know he gets government contracts so they're betting on money laundering tax money, so... I guess we are all either human garbage or illiterate.

Do people think musk is a trillionaire because he literally has $1 trillion sitting in a bank account that he can disperse as he pleases? People are even more financially illiterate than I thought.
