Thanks to @DanNewsManBall for having me on to highlight the advanced measures @USCIS is taking under @SecMullinDHS’ and @POTUS' leadership to combat immigration fraud.  Unlike under the previous administration, fraud is not something we’re going to ignore.

I don’t understand this argument. What good does “universal high income” do when all that would happen is massive inflation for the cost of goods? Awesome, now everyone’s a millionaire. And a computer now costs $20,000 because every retailer knows that everyone’s a millionaire.

در ادامه همین بحث کمک‌ مالی به دانشجوها به خاطر #USCISPause، سازمان‌های دیگه‌ای هم هستن که اسکالرشیپ می‌دن تو آمریکا مثل @IAWFoundation خبر دارم که راند بعدی اسکالرشیپ‌شون به زودی که باز میشه اپدیت میذارم حتما. فقط نکته‌ای که درباره اسکالرشیپ پروگرم IAWF هست اینکه بخشی از پروگرم منتورشیپه. واسه همین توصیه می‌کنم از الان که هنوز اسکالرشیپ باز نشده اگه واقعا نیاز به کمک و منتور دارین به عنوان Mentee ثبت‌نام کنین که بعدا هم واجد شرایط اسکالرشیپ باشین: iawfoundation.org/programs/mento… 🤝 اگه هم دوست دارین کمک کنین می‌تونین به عنوان Mentor به کمک IAWF برین: iawfoundation.org/programs/mento… نکته: برخلاف اسمش IAWF هم به دانشجویان پسر کمک می‌کنه، هم دختر. پس به خاطر جنسیت فکر نکنین که پروگرم منتورشیپ شامل حال‌تون نمیشه.

You no longer have to be good at math or coding to be a top AI researcher. AI does them for you.

@SERobinsonJr TSMC just can’t make the staggeringly large number of chips needed! If they could, we would not need to do this.

TERAFAB: On the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) Q1 2026 earnings call, Chairman & CEO C.C. Wei said the following in regards to the Tesla/SpaceX Terafab Project. "Well, actually, both Intel and Tesla, they are TSMC’s customer. Again, they are our competitors, and we view Intel as our formidable competitors and do not underestimate them. Having said that, there are no shortcuts. The fundamental rule of the foundry game never change. They need the technology leadership, manufacturing excellence, and customer trust, and most of all, the service, which has been mentioned by Jensen. Again, let me say that it takes 2-3 years to build a new fab. No shortcuts. It takes another 1-2 years to ramp it up. Again, that’s a fundamental of foundry industry."

@SERobinsonJr SpaceX/Tesla will be always be major customers of TSMC and not competitors in the normal sense of the word

@sqs Good point

No AI product has earned the right to think in terms of ARR (annual recurring revenue). There just hasn't been enough time for a long history of renewals. The evidence we do have, from the last ~3 years, is that renewal rates are much much lower than pre-AI SaaS. AI growth rates and absolute revenue numbers are MUCH MUCH MUCH higher, but that's not due to smooth, recurring, predictable growth at a diverse customer base, which is what made "ARR" a useful tool for running and evaluating a business. The long history of "ARR" being predictable essentially allowed pre-AI SaaS revenue streams to be securitized like a financial instrument. Knowing a pre-AI SaaS company's net new ARR, NDR, GRR, and ASP got many investors 98% of the way to an investment decision. Maybe we'll get there with AI companies, but we aren't there yet. In fact, for many AI companies, having signed a customer 1 year ago is actually a negative predictor for future growth/renewals if your product is still obligated to support workflows from 1 year ago. That slows you down and gets you pigeonholed as legacy. The only way to win is through constant changes to your product's value prop (which invalidates basically all the other R&D, sales comp, margin, LTV, etc., assumptions associated with pre-AI SaaS companies). Founders: • Don't optimize your business to be legible for investors cargo-culting concepts that made sense for pre-AI SaaS. • Don't lie to yourself that your revenue is "ARR" and then assume the playbook from pre-AI SaaS also applies to you, or else you'll over-hire and slow to a halt. • Build a great product, happy customers, and a great business first. Figure out how to label and securitize your cashflows later. [I never write tweets with AI. This is 100% human-written, and I stand by all of it.]

🚨 HILLARY, PIZZAGATE IS REAL. FRAZZLEDRIP IS REAL. You can sit there in your depositions, stone-faced and sneering that it’s all “vile and bogus,” but the Podesta emails with their twisted “pizza” codes, the dark references that lit up the internet, the Weiner laptop files you hoped would stay buried, and the nightmare stories that refuse to die aren’t disappearing just because you deny them. You and your inner circle thought your media empire and fact-checker foot soldiers could bury this forever and keep the American people in the dark. You were dead wrong. The dam is cracking wide open right now, Hillary. The truth is flooding out into the light, and the American people are finally waking up and watching every move you make. Your time of hiding in plain sight is over.

Factory CEO @matansf says all companies go through three phases of AI adoption: "Phase Zero is reluctance to adopt because developers have had the same workflows for the last 20 years and they might not want to change it." "Phase One is throw the kitchen sink and use as much AI as possible. Whatever you do, just change your workflows." "Phase Two is that people are now adopting the tech, they're proving that they can change their behavior, and use these tools. But now we need to make sure we're actually doing it efficiently and effectively. Uber and Meta are examples of this." "Yes, you'll overspend in Phase One, but the point is to get to Phase Two where then you're actually really efficient on a per-token basis, moving the needle for the business and delivering software faster."

@ylecun @babgi In today’s AI race, does it make sense that many Iranian PhD AI specialists, who were educated in the USA, are forced to leave the country due to the visa limitations? Pushing them to work in other countries could ultimately disadvantage the U.S. in the global AI race

@babgi On peut être à la fois techno-optimiste et anti-techno-féodaliste, pro-démocratie, conscient des risques et travaillant à maximiser les effets bénéfiques et à minimiser les effets négatifs.

Longtemps, je me suis situé dans le camp des techno-optimistes. Lorsqu'Internet est apparu dans les années 90, j'ai comme beaucoup pensé qu'il s'agissait d'un facteur essentiel de progrès pour l'ensemble de l'humanité. Et il a été un facteur de diffusion de la connaissance comme nul autre : les techniques sont plus rapidement adoptées, nos économies sont devenues plus efficaces, etc. Mais rares étaient ceux qui auraient alors pu énoncer qu'internet serait source de graves menaces sur la démocratie, qu'il serait un facteur de concentration sans pareil des richesses (il y a quinze ans, l'homme le plus riche du monde possédait de l'ordre de 60-70 milliards de dollars. aujourd'hui plusieurs d'entre eux ont, au moins momentanément, franchi le seuil des 300 milliards, tous issus du monde de la technologie), qu'il créerait d'importants enjeux de santé mentale, de cognition (ces deux derniers points à différencier l'un de l'autre), de cybersecurité, avec les conséquences que cela peut avoir dans le monde réel... On m'a rapporté récemment que certains disent que je suis devenu "techno-réac". Même si je trouve la définition assez injuste, je reconnais ne plus avoir un enthousiasme univoque à l'égard des technologies. Et puis, si moi j'ai probablement évolué, il me semble que beaucoup de ceux qui font la technologie ont eu ont énormément changé. Dans la Silicon Valley, contrer le techno-optimisme, être décroissant, a toujours été un peu comme s'auto-désigner hérétique face au tribunal du saint Office de l'inquisition au XVIème siècle. Peter Thiel le résume d'ailleurs très bien : sans explicitement le dire, il compare la nécessité de l'accélération comme une quête messianique, et quiconque conteste cela a tôt fait de se faire labelliser par lui d'antéchrist, comme l'ont été Greta Thunberg et Eliezer Yudkowsky. L'accélération y est devenue une fin en soi et l'IA est emblématique de cette accélération (certains suspectent qu'en souhaitant dépasser l'humain, ceux-là réglent leurs compte à tous ceux qui les ont renvoyé à leurs propres limites, leurs frustrations). Désormais quiconque s'oppose au progrès technologique, en particulier de l'IA est plus ou moins un ennemi de Yarvin, Thiel, Andressen, Sacks, représentant la sainte inquisition technologique connue pour son absolutisme, son rejet de la démocratie et leur souhait de voir advenir une dictature technologique... .  Je conçois qu'il n'y ait d'ailleurs pas que des inconvénients à cet absolutisme ; il a le mérite de maintenir une ferveur religieuse - Thiel ne s'y trompe d'ailleurs pas et utilise à dessein ce corpus théologique. Dans un livre à paraitre d'ici quelques jours, je me suis posé la question de la finalité de l'accélération : est-ce que l'on sera plus heureux lorsque l'on vivra 120 ans ? lorsqu'on aura tous un QI de 145 ? Lorsqu'on aura envoyé des humains sur Mars ? Ces questions ne sont jamais posées ; et pourtant elles ont une incidence directe sur notre réel : car c'est maintenant qu'il faut faire des choix de société forts.
