Hi there! I'm usually elsewhere lately ... Threads: @johnkoetsier" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@johnkoetsier Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/johnko… Mastodon: @johnkoetsier" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@johnkoetsier I'm guessing X will completely throttle this tweet, of course, so I doubt you will ever see it unless you go looking. 😀

If you give a politician $5 to influence a vote, it’s bribery. If billionaires spend $50 million to influence an election, it’s legal. That is what a corrupt campaign finance system looks like.

The AI bubble math doesn't add up. Anthropic spends $3 to make $1 and that’s before you include any and all other costs like staff or electricity. Microsoft dumped $300B in capex, made ~$18B in AI revenue. OpenAI and Anthropic alone make up 43-54% of Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Oracle's entire revenue backlogs. Enterprises are burning through annual AI budgets in 4 months with zero measurable ROI. This is the most expensive science experiment in history, funded by your SaaS subscriptions.

I'm not gonna lie, the @Meta layoffs are some of the most dystopian I've ever seen. They got told to work from home, they were sent the emails at 4AM in the morning. Those who weren't impacted have software on their computer that tracks their every move, preparing AI to take their job as well. They're literally training the AI that will eliminate their position as well. Meanwhile, Meta is raking in RECORD PROFITS. I am a massive, unapologetic AI enthusiast. Yet, this is NOT the future I had in mind. I wish for Meta to crash and burn. This is not the way. Literally nobody benefits from this.

The Red Bull garage is humming n pit lane at the Montreal Grand Prix today.

@PatSnapEureka I'd like to interview someone at your company about this.

Figure, Tesla, Boston Dynamics, Unitree, and UBTECH may seem to be racing head-to-head,but their bets are worlds apart. The companies shaping the next humanoid supply chain often aren’t humanoid companies. Only by mapping patent records can you spot the real gaps.

Don Lemon: “If Barack Obama had sued his own government, settled with himself in secret, created a billion dollar fund with no congressional oversight to pay his political allies. What if he did that? They would’ve had him in chains before sundown. The National Guard would have been called in. Impeachment articles would have been filed. Can you imagine Fox News?”

Fingerprints. They stored fingerprints. And sucked at it. Amazing. >> New York public health provider NYC Health + Hospitals says a months-long data breach that allowed hackers to steal personal data, medical records, and fingerprints scans affects at least 1.8 million people

@emilheap @karpathy LOL

@karpathy There are easier ways to get Mythos access for viebcoding my guy Congratz tho

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

My coding agents are so cute: "This will take about a day." 23 minutes later: all done. Really wonder where their estimates come from.

@elonmusk "OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity." Ahhh ... so you care about benefiting all humanity?

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality. There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it! I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America. OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.

Every politician ... ... who wants to exert power ... Should be required to UNDERSTAND the world we live in. That means playing in sandboxes with new tech. Just like Singapore's foreign minister.

@KeepCanStrong @PieterDorsman @WebSummit @BretWeinstein @mtracey @Lauren_Southern that is a GREAT QUESTION. Only reason I was moderating the panel is b/c I got an emergency call from Web Summit saying the other moderator couldn't make it and they needed a replacement. So I jumped in on a day's notice or so.

A discussion @WebSummit about abolishing podcasts takes us straight to Epstein and vaccines. Really fun debate with @BretWeinstein, @mtracey and @Lauren_Southern concluding that online is ‘cooking reality’. Hard to moderate, but good job @johnkoetsier.

@BrockDorse35632 @PieterDorsman @WebSummit @BretWeinstein @mtracey @Lauren_Southern that was me :-)

AGAIN!!! RECORD REVENUE AND LAYOFFS ANNOUNCED ON THE SAME DAY I am so tired of seeing this pattern. We have psychopath CEOs who lack all imagination: if you have new capabilities, DO NEW THINGS! Invent new tech. Expand to new markets! Use your new AI powers for GOOD.

Great interview with $PATH CEO and CMO credit: @johnkoetsier youtube.com/watch?v=QOfY94…

@PieterDorsman @WebSummit @BretWeinstein @mtracey @Lauren_Southern I had no idea what I was signing up for there …

I love my NanoClaw assistant!!!

Revenue up 34% Cutting 1,100 jobs Psychopath CEOs are killing the goose that laid their golden eggs

Check out the little flip to close the notebook :-) Wow
