@altcap It's so wild that politicians will aggressively die on the hill that we need to tax more to "help people" while completely ignoring the argument that $7T/yr could be spent more efficiently It's almost like this isn't actually about helping people...

Correct. We don’t need more taxes. And I dont trust a slush fund that future administrations can seize at their pleasure for whatever their political agenda. I strongly encourage voluntary contributions of shares directly to citizen owned accounts or similar trust fund. 🇺🇸🤍
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

So Brad just to be clear you disagree with @sama and OpenAI proposal and the idea of a national sovereign fund with a modest tax on AI and other companies?

Tesla wants Americans to believe its so-called Full Self-Driving technology is safer than human drivers. Then it should prove it. @SenBlumenthal and I are calling on NHTSA to demand the data, test Tesla’s claims, and strengthen AV safety data reporting.

SpaceX's Starship rocket just successfully performed a flip maneuver and precisely splashed down on target in the Indian Ocean next to a buoy with @Starlink on it. The SpaceX team ends the stream with a "USA! USA! USA!" chant 🇺🇸

Today's a big step in a new direction for @BrandwiseAI We're expanding our AI agent to do much more than just social management & support. Our agent already has tons of context on your brand's products, processes, how you interact with customers, etc. Utilizing this context is key to enabling an AI agent to deeply understand your business and *proactively* work for you and your team, not only when you tell it to do something We have plenty of exciting features that will be rolling out over the next several weeks, we can't wait for you to try them

@mcuban Why not advocate for the government to spend *less* money? More taxes is like giving free drugs to an addict

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

FSD from @Tesla has been life changing for me Since downloading V14.2 earlier this year, 93% of my mileage has been completely autonomous. I just type in where I want to go and press start - then sit back and relax This technology will save so many lives

The human-perceived RGB is image 1 and the Tesla AI photon count reconstruction is image 2. This is why Tesla FSD can see so well at night or through extreme glare.

> create regulations that make airlines impossible to operate profitably > Spirit Airlines on verge of bankruptcy > needs merger to save jobs and continue operations > US gov blocks it to "prevent fewer flights and higher fares" > Spirit Airlines goes bankrupt > now fewer flights and higher fares A tale as old as time
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…

Once self-driving cars are sufficiently deployed, we can create dedicated lanes for them with higher speed limits and closer following distances between cars. This will both improve throughput and reduce latency.
