Jack Dorsey says the “dinner with Jay-Z” meme is real and that every conversation with him leaves him with more wisdom: "The meme—half a million dollars or dinner with Jay? Like, that is real. Every moment I’ve had with him, every story I could tell, is really just a compounding realization around how much wisdom he has. A lot of it’s through experience, but a lot of it is just instinct. [...] I don’t think people realize how deep it is. You get it only through these small snippets in the music or maybe a speech or an action. But if you put the whole corpus together, it’s pretty impressive." (via GQ)

Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

Excuse me?? So they cut the free Palestine chants and the homophobia…but chose to keep the n-word. WTF.
