US administration doesn’t believe training AI on copyrighted material constitutes copyright infringement (but letting courts rule). Great way to encourage stimulation of the US film economy they cry about losing to other countries.

NEWS REPORTING?! “Congress should consider establishing a federal framework protecting individuals from the unauthorized distribution or commercial use of Al-generated digital replicas of their voice, likeness, or other identifiable attributes, while providing clear exceptions for parody, satire, news reporting, and other expressive works protected by the First Amendment. Congress should prevent persons from abusing such a framework to stifle free speech online.”

@EadrictheWild @KN45521419 @FurkanGozukara @realhansard If you already don’t live here and don’t pay tax what’s the issue? You have no commitment here and feel no responsibility to your fellow nationals. So if you denounce, nobody is losing anything. Your idle threat means precisely zip

@KN45521419 @FurkanGozukara @realhansard True but then the government is incentivising its citizens to permanently leave. Many would. I would.

The UK is considering an American style global tax regime. If you move to zero tax havens like Dubai, you will still be forced to pay British income tax for the privilege of holding a UK passport and getting embassy protection. The tax loopholes might finally close.

@RReign333 @GovKathyHochul You have been mentally poisoned my guy

@SiGallagher @GovKathyHochul Good ...no need for 'captives' slave labor.

I want New York to lead the nation with a workforce that’s ready to use AI to their advantage, not be victims of it. Today, we're launching our FutureWorks Commission — bringing together the best minds in the country to build a pro-tech and pro-worker future.

I think we can all agree that the right person to draw up rules on usage of AI is a man who literally invests in AI companies (according to a 2025 report 449 of them). Congratulations to all involved in this shining example of zero conflicts of interest at all.

Jay Bothroyd and Jamie O'Hara have led the Talksportification of SkySports. We should not forgive them.

@tobyasky Yea nobody at all has ever said Harry Kane, England’s best striker, is any good. You’re so right.

You get to a level where this becomes a norm and nobody is even talking about it. Harry Kane’s standards are out of this world.

@Enezator “I share positive content… by making up lies about people’s failed marriages for engagement, please make me feel relevant”

This LEGO build cost him 200K and two marriages, but it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. 😳

Jensen Huang just told every AI leader in the room to grow up. Stop scaring the public with science fiction. Start communicating like the weight of civilization is on your shoulders. Because it is. Huang: “AI is not a biological being. It is not alien. It is not conscious. It is computer software.” That single statement dismantles half the panic surrounding this industry. The mainstream conversation is dominated by people projecting human malice onto math. Alien consciousness onto code. Existential dread onto a software architecture we built, we trained, and we can read. Huang: “We say things like, ‘We don’t understand it at all.’ It is not true. We understand a lot of things about this technology.” When builders tell the public they don’t understand their own creation, the public hears threat. The state responds with control. That is already happening. Palihapitiya asked Huang what he would have told Anthropic during their regulatory clash with the Department of Defense. Huang didn’t attack the technology. He attacked the communication. Huang: “The desire to warn people about the capability of the technology is really terrific. We just have to make sure that we understand that the world has a spectrum, and that warning is good, scaring is less good because this technology is too important to us.” Warning shows risks, mitigation, why upside overwhelms downside. Scaring says we might be building something that destroys us and we can’t stop it. One builds trust. The other invites regulation written in panic. Huang: “To say things that are quite extreme, quite catastrophic, that there’s no evidence of it happening, could be more damaging than people think.” Projecting catastrophe without evidence is not caution. It is sabotage. When your technology is embedded in national defense, the financial system, and healthcare infrastructure, your words carry structural weight. If the architects act terrified of their own product, the response is predictable. Governments step in. They restrict. They seize control of something they don’t understand because the builders told them to be afraid. Huang: “There was a time when nobody listened to us, but now because technology is so important in the social fabric, such an important industry, so important to national security, our words do matter.” Most tech founders have not internalized this. You are no longer a startup founder disrupting an industry. You are running infrastructure that nations depend on. Your statements move policy. Your framing shapes legislation. Your tone determines whether governments treat you as partner or threat. Huang: “We have to be much more circumspect, we have to be more moderate, we have to be more balanced, we have to be far more thoughtful.” Huang did not ask for silence. He asked for precision. The leaders who cannot tell the difference will not be leading for long.

You literally have no concept that this will be the case. Most of AI wealth is not given to the populous. It creates a wealth class apartheid, it doesn’t fix one. The reason most people are in poverty is because of inequality catalysed by power grabs. Why would that suddenly change when there’s MORE wealth and power available to those who currently magpie it?

@jmkettle It’s less about there being less to lose and more about there being more to gain for poorer people Much of Africa is poorer today than it was in 1960 even in real terms. Most of the rest is stagnant. What will bring these people out of poverty if not machine intelligence?

Negative sentiment toward AI is a luxury belief

@PeterDiamandis You are dangerously deluded and the inherent deceit here is disgusting. The minds don’t solve anything: you’re quietly advocating for them to be trained on like Matrix batteries because the control dynamic does not favour the masses and you know this full well.

"Scarcity thinking: 'There are 8 billion people competing for limited resources.' Abundance thinking: 'There are 8 billion minds that could solve the resource problem.' AI + biotech + energy abundance means the competition isn't for the pie. It's to grow the pie 1,000X."

@KaladStormie @ActualBraun @ChrisJBakke 😂 ok champ

@ActualBraun @SiGallagher @ChrisJBakke Finally he made a decent point. Nonetheless, he hasn’t proven that Bezos unilaterally impacted the decision.

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, has not been the CEO of Amazon for almost 5 years now.

@OneGreatGambino @tbpn @mcuban Like WHAT

@SiGallagher @tbpn @mcuban Humans will becomes assemblers and designers everything will cheap modular and abundant. There will be plenty of jobs, just not the jobs of today.

.@mcuban says humanoid robots won't last more than 5-10 years. Instead, we'll "design the house to fit the robot, and design the robot to fit the house." "You could create a house where the pantry, the refrigerator, and the washing machines were hidden behind the garage, if you even have a garage. That way you could redesign the house so that all the living space was for people."

@ActualBraun @ChrisJBakke He is literally the executive chairman. Do you imagine that he just… sits out the board meetings?

@SiGallagher @ChrisJBakke Wow, that’s really a dumb analogy. In fact, calling out an individual over a decision in which he has no involvement isn’t making a good point.

@ActualBraun @ChrisJBakke No it isn’t Rich. It’s like complaining that someone said Hitler was an artist at his war crimes trial. The detail after matters a lot more.

@SiGallagher @ChrisJBakke In fact, it is.

@sugarbets_ @JPHilllllll @fuckyouiquit Enjoy the taste dude

@SiGallagher @JPHilllllll @fuckyouiquit

It’s just a weird sickness at some point, this level of greed. You have $200 billion dollars. You could wipe your ass with $100 bills and keep getting richer every day. Why kill thousands and thousands of jobs at this point?

@bryansunderland @JordanSchachtel And what of the AI SuperPac? Is that just scotch mist is it? Ridiculous ignorance of the truth here lads. Well played

Beware of astroturf groups funded by those who stand to benefit from overregulation. Innovation and progress are fueled by healthy competition, not regulatory capture and other protectionist behaviors.

@sugarbets_ @JPHilllllll @fuckyouiquit The alternative is not millions for everyone, it’s UBI controlled by the government that you have to jump through hoops for. Connected thinking mate. Try it

And you’re currently demanding jobs from them. I’m saying use technology to free yourselves and this thread calls me a serf because I *dont* want to rely on the billionaire. It’s hilarious. You guys are complaining that the billionaire might remove some factory jobs. Nothing could be more teet sucking than wanting the billionaire to keep providing those low wage jobs. Begging to be kept on the hamster wheel
