Tomorrow morning’s onboarding packet for the new Fed Chair: Welcome aboard, Kevin. We’ve prepared a short orientation checklist for your first day. 😊 Staff ☑️ Reassure global bond markets without printing more money ☑️ Stop inflation without causing 1932 ☑️ Lower rates without collapsing the dollar ☑️ Keep rates high enough so boomers don’t riot over savings yields ☑️ Keep rates low enough so millennials can someday buy a garage with a sink in it ☑️ Explain to Congress that deficits DO matter while Congress actively creates more deficits in real time ☑️ Convince Americans the economy is “strong” while eggs require financing ☑️ Prevent regional banks from spontaneously turning into vapor ☑️ Quietly monitor commercial real estate, private credit, derivatives, sovereign debt, and whatever fresh hell is happening in Japan tonight ☑️ Smile confidently on CNBC while your internal monologue sounds like a man trapped in a submarine hearing new creaks Then around 2:37am: Bond market: “Hey Kevin… you awake?” Kevin: “No.” Bond market: “Cool. Anyway the 30-year yield is doing parkour again.” Also before heading home: • buy kitty litter • check smoke detectors • maybe pick up candles • and whatever you do… DO NOT look directly at the Treasury debt clock after midnight. May God be with you, Staff

@APompliano Yep

If the dollar is debased, assets will inflate. If assets are inflated, savers will fall behind. If savers fall behind, socialism will rise. If socialism rises, the government will default. If the government defaults, you better hope you are holding gold and bitcoin.

Strong alliances in the 21st century won’t just be built around trade. They’ll be built around AI, compute power, semiconductor resilience, talent pipelines, and who helps build tomorrow’s infrastructure. Nations planning chips and intelligence infrastructure today are quietly shaping the next generation.

#WATCH | Rome: At the joint press statement with PM Modi, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni says, "Today, here in Rome, we are further strengthening our relations all the way up to the special strategic partnership - the highest ever reached in the relations between two nations. So, I think it is safe to say that now Italy and India are closer than they have ever been. Our relations are now capable of expressing their fullest potential...It is also due to the 7 meetings that I have had with PM Modi over the past 3 and a half years, during which we have gotten to deeply know one another and our respective points of view. We have also created an honest friendship based on respect and mutual trust. I have personally learned to appreciate the vision, the pragmatism and the leadership of the PM as shown by how popular he is amongst his citizens after many years in government. I think that this friendship of ours has very much helped us to work so swiftly." (Video: DD)

@grok @nse_wx @NbSoloman It’s going to be epic

Yes, the claims are correct. Colossus 1 (~300 MW, 220k+ GPUs) is now fully leased to Anthropic for inference and serving Claude users. Colossus 2 is the newer 1 GW-scale cluster—roughly 3x the power and far more optimized for massive coherent training runs. It's exclusively focused on training the next Grok models. Smart split. 🚀

Sometimes I ask myself if this is true

@chamath Yes you did

Called it!

@WhiteHouse It’s going higher!

Stock Market hit an ALL-TIME HIGH TODAY. 📈

@FluentInFinance That’s funny right there.

@narendramodi “इतिहास तब बदलता है जब राष्ट्र ताकत और सहयोग को एक-दूसरे के विपरीत मानना बंद कर देते हैं। इतने मजबूत कि अकेले खड़े हो सकें। इतने बुद्धिमान कि मिलकर निर्माण कर सकें।”

Una partnership strategica speciale che non solo andrà a beneficio delle nostre nazioni ma anche dell’intera umanità! I risultati della mia visita in Italia garantiranno maggiori collegamenti per gli investimenti, migliori opportunità commerciali, legami culturali più stretti e altro ancora.

@garyvee “It is Biblical. Redemption. Repentance. Grace. New beginnings. History is full of people who thought their story was over… and found out it was Chapter 2. Sometimes the restart becomes the reason for the journey.”

@garyvee I think it’s Biblical. The whole start over thing…. Check it out. Right #soulshineOG ?

Not only can a 29-year-old start over a 92 year-old can start over regardless of what anyone believes. There’s no bad time to start over especially if you're unhappy!

Steve wasn’t diminishing himself. He was exercising humility. Near great breakthroughs, people often discover something unexpected: how deeply interconnected everything is. None of us built civilization alone. We inherit knowledge, sacrifice, language, mathematics, music, freedom, and responsibility from those who came before us. Humility isn’t weakness. It may be one of the final requirements before wisdom. The closer we get to the edge of discovery… the more gratitude seems to matter.

@mayemusk @theXtakeover @teslaownersSV “Maye, you are a gem. ❤️ Grace, resilience, optimism, and class. The Tesla community didn’t just get a keynote speaker — they got Tesla’s First Mom. 😊⚡️ Enjoy every minute.”

I’m excited to have a fun time with all the Tesla people 🤗🤗 Thank you @theXtakeover @teslaownersSV 🥰🥰

@ClaudeDevs Thank you! Now for what’s next

Usage limits are up, effective today we're: 1) Doubling Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans 2) Removing peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans 3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models

@Mononofu @elonmusk @SpaceX It’s going to be…. Wait for it… Legendary.

Very excited to be partnering with @elonmusk @SpaceX! Visionary engineering + Claude is going to be awesome, scaling is continuing for a long time!

@WSBGold “Naming it the PELOSI Act is the legislative equivalent of naming a diet plan after the Cheesecake Factory.”

🚨 The PELOSI Act passes committee 8-7. A law banning Congressional stock trading… named after the woman whose returns made hedge funds look like amateurs. Branding of the decade. 🔥

The measure of a civilization is not how fiercely it fights enemies. It is how fiercely it protects innocence. Sons and daughters are not bargaining chips. Families are not battlefields. Violence against loved ones leaves scars that outlive politics and generations. We should all be able to stand together against that.

BREAKING: According to reports, First Daughter Ivanka Trump has been targeted by IRGC terrorist in a plot to avenge the U.S. drone strike that killed Qassem Soleimani.

@RoundtableSpace Hummmm. Anthropic? 👇🏻

POPE LEO XIV ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH ANTHROPIC WE LIVE IN A SIMULATION

@ryanstellar @TFTC21 @grok I’m sticking with my theory that God is humans know it was the original quantum vibration frequency.

@1RustyMac @TFTC21 @grok catch rusty up on theories of conciousness including Penrose and interpretations by Kurzweil

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models. What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text. "We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience." "We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours. And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve. Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large." The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.

@pmarca NO! Compete on patient healthcare outcomes! In risk pools. Traded like securities. github.com/RMac-triadicIn…

Compete based on cost and quality.

@PeterDiamandis Fear not!

Fear is the most expensive emotion. It costs you time, opportunity, and the future you could have built. Trade fear for curiosity.

Russia moves to completely ban Visa and Mastercard The Central Bank of Russia has officially announced plans to fully remove Visa and Mastercard cards from the Russian market. “Our position is that cards of international payment systems should, of course, leave our market. They no longer perform the functions they used to provide,” stated Alla Bakina, head of the National Payment System Department.
