My image of tranquility is a lifeguard stand with a sign: NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY The ocean is vast. No one is coming to rescue the system. Responsibility is distributed. Trust must be built into the system itself. This increasingly applies to AI.

@sandbar Bring it on!

@DougStandley We're so excited for you to experience Stream, Doug! Thanks for the support.

@sandbar this morning I actually imagined taking a note on my soon to be delivered ring.

@words_are_windy @Timodc Sadly, “if it bleeds, it leads.”

@Timodc Counterpoint: our media, even our "liberal" media, loves a good war. They can't get enough of it, every dead Iranian or Lebanese baby gives our journalists a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Fun question: what was the last US military action opposed by the NYT?

I think the media/pundit class is so chastened by past examples of Donny wriggling out of jams that Iran coverage even in “liberal” media is too cautious/charitable. The economic/geopolitical fallout from this will be nightmarish - by far the biggest catastrophe of his two terms

@LrdSeitan @Timodc Perfect!

@Timodc Mr. Magoo Goes to War

@krispHQ @claudeai Huge!

Your meeting context is now available in @claudeai 🔗 Connect Krisp and start asking Claude things like "what did we decide about the Q2 roadmap?" or "what are my open action items from this week?" No more digging through notes or replaying recordings.

@Timodc But, even you must be thinking he will.

@Literariium Let’s hope!

April, may, june

@RoKhanna $200 BILLION!

$200 billion would pay for free college for every American, $10 day childcare, 1000 new trade schools, the 40% federal share of special needs education and a lot more. What are we even doing here? MAGA is now Iran first?

@AlanEyre1 @ylecun @anneapplebaum And yet, his many of his apostles would do it again - “stupid is, as stupid does.”

spot-on, from @anneapplebaum Money quote: "Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places." "He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before." theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

@tegmark @JordanSchachtel Thank you for ongoing guidance!

Beware: @JordanSchachtel is conflating the (bipartisan) pro-human opposition to Anthropic and other AI companies with Anthropic itself (and its "race to replace" supporters). See link in replies for my detailed analysis of the ACTUAL two sides.

@MilkRoadAI How many lawsuits does @OpenAI have active today? How many on the cusp?

Microsoft just threatened to SUE its most important partner. The company that gave OpenAI $11 billion is now preparing for war. Here is what just happened and why it could blow up the entire AI industry. OpenAI went behind Microsoft's back. Last month, OpenAI signed a deal with Amazon, AWS gets exclusive rights to host OpenAI's new enterprise platform called Frontier.​ The deal is worth up to $50 billion.​ Microsoft has had one ironclad rule since 2019. Every single OpenAI model, every API, every access point must run through Microsoft's Azure cloud.​ That was the deal and Microsoft funded the whole thing on that basis. Now OpenAI wants to give Amazon what Microsoft paid for. And Microsoft's response went public through the Financial Times.​ "We know our contract. We will sue them if they breach it." This is a potential lawsuit between two of the most powerful companies on earth, over who controls the infrastructure that runs AI for millions of businesses.​ What is Frontier and why does it matter? It is OpenAI's new product that lets companies build and run AI agents systems that can manage files, execute code and complete complex tasks autonomously.​ This is the next wave of AI and Microsoft is about to lose its grip on it. Amazon and OpenAI thought they found a loophole. They are building what they call a "stateful" runtime, a technical environment on AWS that retains memory and context over time.​ Their argument is that this is different enough from what Microsoft's contract covers. Here is what is actually at stake. If AWS wins the right to distribute OpenAI models, Azure loses its defining advantage in the AI cloud race.​ Microsoft's entire AI story , Copilot, GitHub, Bing, Office was built on one assumption that OpenAI runs on Azure. That assumption just cracked. Both sides are still negotiating and trying to avoid court.​ But the fact that this is already public means the relationship is damaged. OpenAI is growing fast enough now that it no longer needs just one cloud partner.​ Microsoft funded the lab that may now walk away from it. This is the moment the AI gold rush starts eating its own architects.
