@iruletheworldmo Dario is full of it.

i think one of the reasons anthropic is doing so well right now is their integrity and honesty around the coming job apocalypse and not shying away from topics like ai consciousness and the dangers of summoning super intelligence. one of the downstream effects of all this is being able to attract and hold onto the worlds best researchers. i could be wrong but i get the sense that privately sam believes there’s a job apocalypse coming and that worst case scenario is lights out for all of us but he’s getting pressured to be less candid publicly.

@mweinbach Yes. Upgraded to Ultra for it. Let's go.

Anyone else excited for Gemini Spark this week I really want to see what it can do

@OfficialLoganK @GoogleAIStudio @Android Once the Android AI Studio app launches it'll be much better.

We just launched the ability to build native Android apps directly in Google AI Studio for free! Since launch last week, people have created more than 250,000 Android apps. Likely >99% of these folks never built an Android app before, everyone can now build, no coding required!

@AnxiousHolly Google Pixel.

if samsung suddenly stopped making phones what brand would you change to?

@DavidSacks OpenAI and Anthropic are hyping up AI and saying it will replace workers because that's the only way their crazy valuations make sense. Listen to the CEOs of Google, Microsoft and Nvidia for realistic takes. AI is a tool not a replacement. Tasks get replaced not jobs.

Yes

@Pirat_Nation TSMC workers like Samsung and SK Hynix semiconductor workers should receive a 10%-15% profit sharing bonus. They don't make nearly enough compared to South Korean semiconductor employees to begin with. The bonus should be 500k+ per employee this year if things are fair.

TSMC workers are reportedly angry over rumors that employee bonuses could be cut, even though the company’s profits jumped 58% due to huge demand for AI chips. Many employees feel the timing makes no sense. The company is making record profits, yet workers face talk of smaller bonuses amid long hours and high-pressure work in chip fabs. TSMC normally doesn’t face such worker backlash and some employees are even discussing possible “Samsung-style” strikes, which are rare in Taiwan’s chip industry. Since TSMC produces chips for companies like NVIDIA, Apple, and AMD, even minor disruptions could affect the global AI and semiconductor market, with another price increase too

@AndrewYang Reports that look polished bit may not actually be polished.

AI is excellent at polished reports.

@mark_k @OpenAI AI is blocked from an increasing number of websites. If you want it to have context and see the page use Atlas browser.

JFC. ChatGPT can't even read the content of a single X post because OpenAI is too cheap to pay for the API. Embarrassing. 😡 @OpenAI this needs fixing urgently!

@kimmonismus Notice how the two AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic that need to raise money keep saying this while Google, Nvidia, and Microsoft are much more realistic and don't overhype? Makes you think what it's really about.

Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei has been saying this for over a year now. And he keeps saying it. Louder each time. In May 2025, he told Axios that AI could eliminate 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years and push unemployment to 10-20%. In January 2026, he published a 20,000-word essay calling AI “a general labor substitute for humans” that will cause “unusually painful” disruption. At Davos, he warned of a “zeroth world country” forming in Silicon Valley, decoupled from the rest of society, running at 50% GDP growth while everyone else faces mass joblessness. In his own words: “We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming.” And the data is starting to back him up. Tech entry-level hiring dropped 30-50% in 2025. Wall Street banks are cutting ~200,000 roles concentrated at the junior level. S&P 500 companies shed employees in net terms for the first time since 2016. Anthropic’s own labor market research confirmed that 77% of businesses use Claude to automate tasks, not to augment workers. Now another Anthropic co-founder is echoing the same message: “There is a real possibility that AI will displace human labor at a very large scale. Supporting those people will be a moral imperative of historic proportions.” This is no longer a warning from the sidelines. This is the company building the technology telling you, repeatedly, that the disruption is real, it’s fast, and society is not ready for it. x.com/disclosetv/sta…

@Cartidise Ridiculous there is only 8gb of ram in the NEO

Apple is planning to discontinue the MacBook Neo 256GB variant due to rising RAM prices This means it won’t start at $599 anymore

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Robinhood will give you 1 share if your lucky for the IPO even if you request 100. Happens all the time.

I’ve been asked by many to create one comprehensive post explaining how to prepare for @SpaceX’s IPO if you use one of the brokerages listed in SpaceX’s S-1 filing to allocate IPO shares to retail investors. Here it is: Fidelity: 1) $500,000 minimum account balance required to participate (including IRAs, individual, etc, but excluding 401k). 2) Enter an indication of interest. The indication of interest provides Fidelity with the maximum number of shares a customer is interested in purchasing. 3) Confirm your indication of interest shares on Fidelity's website after the registration statement has been declared effective and the offering has priced, which is typically after 7 PM ET on the night of pricing. Indications of interest may not be confirmed prior to the registration statement being declared effective and the offering pricing established. By confirming your indication of interest, you are placing an order to buy shares at the offering price. If you do not confirm your indication of interest, you will not be eligible for an allocation of shares. 4) Allocation of shares will occur on the morning following pricing and is usually complete before 9:30 AM ET. An alert will be sent once allocations are complete, and you can check your account to determine whether you were allocated shares. If you receive an allocation of shares, you must have adequate funds available to settle the purchase in the settlement date which is typically the trade date plus one business day. 5) You may increase your indication of interest up through the close of the indication of interest period. You may decrease or cancel an indication of interest until share allocation takes place. Once share allocation takes place, your indication may not be canceled or modified. Charles Schwab: 1) $100,000 minimum account balance required to participate (including IRAs, individual, etc, but excluding 401k). 2) On Schwab's website, under the Trade tab, select the IPO page to view the Calendar of Offerings, a list of upcoming IPOs. Once the IPO offering window opens (expected first week of June), investors will have the ability to submit a Conditional Offer to Purchase (COTP), also known as an Indication of Interest, from this page. 3) During an IPO's open COTP window, select Start COTP to review offering details and the preliminary prospectus. Then select the green button to proceed to the Eligibility Questionnaire, which is required to confirm investors meet eligibility criteria and are not restricted (per FINRA rules) from participating. After completing the questionnaire, you'll be able to indicate how many shares you're interested in purchasing based on the price range provided. Select Confirm to submit the COTP. 4) After the COTP has been submitted, regularly monitor the IPO page, which will indicate the Status of Your Conditional Offers to Purchase (COTPs), the expected pricing date, and current pricing status, plus any changes in the prospectus. When the IPO has been priced, you will affirm your COTP. You must affirm your COTP once the effective price is established in order to be eligible to purchase shares. To do so, select Affirm Now to review and finalize the share quantity. Robinhood: 1) There's no minimum account size requirement, but you must have enough buying power to cover your requested shares if you are allocated any. You must have an individual brokerage account. Retirement, custodial, and multiple investing accounts are not eligible for IPO Access. 2) Make sure IPO Access is enabled in your Robinhood app. Turn on your IPO notifications so that Robinhood notifies you when the SpaceX IPO comes online. 3) Request Shares: Once the IPO is announced and available, you can request shares through the app or website. This is a request for IPO shares. By placing a conditional offer to buy (COB), you’re asking for the opportunity to purchase a quantity of shares at the IPO price. An investor may place, edit, or cancel a COB after the initial price range is published and before the confirmation period ends. 4) Allocation is random and not guaranteed. The number of shares you request factors into how many you actually get, but it doesn’t affect the likelihood that you’ll get any allocation. You may get all, some, or none of the IPO shares you request. E*Trade: 1) E*TRADE does not publicly list a specific minimum account size required to participate in IPOs, but contact them to double check. That said, allocation priority for “hot” IPOs may still favor larger or more active accounts in practice, even if there’s no official minimum balance requirement. 2) Be a U.S. resident, have an active E*TRADE account (Individual, Joint and IRAs are all eligible) and complete the investor profile questionnaire. 3) Sign up for IPO alerts. 4) Submit a conditional offer to buy ("COB"). As part of this submission, you specify the number of shares and the maximum price you are willing to pay per share. COBs can only be submitted via the New Issue Center. A COB may be submitted once an offering is listed as "open" up until the status is changed to "closed." COBs that have already been submitted may be amended or cancelled after an offering is "closed" up until the status is changed to "allocate." At this point, no further changes may be made to a COB and you are bound by the terms of your COB. If there is no material change in an offering, customers will not need to reconfirm their COBs. If you have submitted a conditional offer, you must have available buying power to cover the full amount of your conditional offer in the account through which you submitted the conditional offer. 5) Shares are allocated to eligible accounts as a proportion, or percentage, of the size of their COB. The percentage is based primarily on the number of shares provided to E*TRADE for sale to its customers and the size of the overall demand for shares from E*TRADE's customers. Given the expected high demand for this offering and the limited availability of shares available for sale to E*TRADE customers, many COBs may not be allocated shares (according to E*Trade). Additionally, in many instances, allocations will be significantly smaller than the size of shares requested in a customer's COB. 6) E*TRADE makes its allocations after the pricing of the overall offering but before the stock begins trading. E*TRADE will inform customers via alert or email whether they have been allocated shares. Any allocation should be reflected in the relevant customer account once that allocation has been processed by E*TRADE. Sofi: 1) There is no minimum account balance/size requirement. Have an active Self-Directed Invest account. 2) Go to the “IPO Investing” section in the app or website 3) Select the IPO 4) Complete the IPO suitability questionnaire 5) Submit an “Indication of Interest” (IOI), which is basically a non-binding request for shares. 6) When the IPO is officially priced, SoFi will notify you to confirm your order. NOTE: Don’t be surprised if you receive fewer IPO shares than you requested, or none at all. Demand for the limited number of IPO shares available to retail investors will likely be extremely high, and each participating brokerage will only receive a limited allocation of shares to distribute to retail investors. For our international friends, keep in mind that @SpaceX said in their S-1 filing that allocations will also be made to retail investors by the underwriters, which include: • Goldman Sachs • Morgan Stanley • Bank of America • Citigroup • J.P. Morgan • Barclays • Deutsche Bank Securities • RBC Capital Markets • UBS Investment Bank • Wells Fargo Securities • Allen & Company • Cantor • Needham & Company • Raymond James • Societe Generale • Stifel • William Blair • BTG Pactual • ING • Macquarie Capital • Mirae Asset Securities • Mizuho • Santander so you can try reaching out to one of these places if you have assets with them and you may be able to request an allocation of some shares. I've already seen that happen with some Goldman Sachs clients. Lastly, and I stated this in a previous post, @SpaceX specifically stated in their S-1 filing that any purchase of their Class A common stock in this offering through these platforms will be at the same IPO price, and at the same time, as any other purchases in this offering, including purchases by institutions and other large investors, which means any retail investors that are lucky enough to get allocated some SpaceX IPO shares will pay the same price as the big guys. This will likely be the largest retail IPO share allocation in history, by far. If you have more questions, reach out directly to your brokerage and/or bank. And no, this post wasn't written by AI lol. Not financial advice.

@GaryMarcus Need to hear from @dhh as well.

⚠️⚠️⚠️i don’t think most people understand the implications of the mood shift below, so I will spell them out. they are serious, and eventually will affect the global economy. when a serious coder as hardcore AI-philic as GeoHotz dives deep into all the latest coding models and winds up echoing what I have been saying about the code turning out slop—and how that is going to mess over big companies—the whole genAI movement is a deadman walking. ‘cause coding was the tentpole. and its net impact may actually be net negative—and certainly not big enough to justify the massive investments. once people figure that out, the bubble will pop.

Turned my puppy Benny into a comic book hero sprinting after a unicorn through an enchanted forest. Google Gemini Omni made all of this and the quality is fantastic. This is what's possible with AI. Wild times.

🚨 Google DeepMind CEO Sir Demis Hassabis: “Today’s systems, are nowhere near [AGI]. Doesn’t matter how many Erdős problems you solve… I think it’s far, far from what a true invention or someone like a Ramanujan would have been able to do” it’s over for the Erdős hype

@silvirouskin You get the new Fitbit Air?

@gabriel1 Bad timing for OpenAI to delete Sora

there will be an explosion of fan-made episodes of every show on earth, i'll guess in 12 months

@karpathy @shreyansj Yes but you get the best office and closest parking space at the Anthropic office. 😀

@shreyansj It’s refreshing to see a company of this size successfully call bs on the whole thing to this extent. One group of MTS on a mission, clean.

Anthropic did not seriously make Karpathy "Member of Technical Staff"

@arlanr At least upgrade the bed with an Eight Sleep Pod 🤣 You are a tech founder after all so it's like a requirement.

i make all of my employees sleep in the same bed until we hit $5 million in revenue if you don't do this u are clearly falling behind

@tibo_maker p-max has been performing better than experts for awhile now. Can save businesses running the ads the 10-20% fee Google ad experts charge.

i had a weird realization recently over the last 3-6 months, i worked with multiple ads experts all smart people they built proper setups segmented campaigns retargeting audiences manual structures all the things you’re supposed to do and then google p-max beat all of them i think that’s where ads are going google already has more data than you and it can test more combinations than any human can what you can still do: better offer better creative better landing page better tracking more A/B testing

@Pirat_Nation Batman showed us this in 2008.

Researchers have shown that ordinary Wi-Fi can identify people with extremely high accuracy by analyzing how wireless signals bounce off the human body. Using AI, the system learns unique patterns from a person’s movement, posture, and body shape, almost like a biometric fingerprint. Recent tests using standard Wi-Fi hardware reportedly achieved near-perfect accuracy in controlled environments. The most surprising part is that people do not need to carry a phone or wearable device to be detected. Wi-Fi signals already present in a room can be enough.
