"Whenever you centralize power, you attract the power-seeking self-interested people." @beffjezos basically argues that attempting to prevent bad actors from using AI by centralizing power and control basically hands the lightcone to the sociopaths

The singularity looks smooth from the perspective of the observer falling into it says @beffjezos: AGI is just the next mile marker (physical intelligence/robotics), then biology, then quantum-level matter control, each unlocking its own tech tree (self-assembling matter, engineered meta-materials, manual chemistry).

Buy data or generate data at a profit? @balajis tells the story of what got him to move from academia into business and tech.

on @Kerissilicon, @balajis talks DOGE, @elonmusk, $175T in debt, USAID, US misadventures in the Middle East and America's decline

On @CogRev_Podcast, host @labenz expresses surprise that the U.S. eased export controls on chips and China didn't want them. @deanwball reframes it as predictable given China's self-reliance planning and the convergence of U.S./China industrial-policy styles, lamenting that genuine expertise on Chinese government behavior stays behind closed doors in Washington.

@yacineMTB what a time to be alive huh boss

I've thought about these things a lot and I always have known what is actually technically possible when you push computers to their limits and it's something else entirely to actually have the ability to just do this using my voice over SSH over T-Mucks. Crazy

I've been ripping five point six soul non-stop for the past 72 hours on my online web browser massively multiplayer massive rigid body deterministics physics engine and I am about to drop the funnest most ridiculous game ever seen before

@beffjezos hell yeah!

Road to 1M, quarter of the way there now.

@balajis on DOGE, @elonmusk, $175T in debt, USAID, US misadventures in the Middle East and America's decline

@balajis tells the story of what got him into tech

@nikitabier @paulg Never leaving this app

@paulg With all due respect, what do you know about generating billions of dollars of value

This is like someone who can bench press 30 pounds writing about what it takes to bench press 600.

@beffjezos @elonmusk @milichab It's really good. And crazy fast.

@elonmusk @milichab It's a good model sir

Grok 4.5 can easily decode hidden messages in videos 🖖

The interviewer, @ShahrilHamdan, frames tech leaders as modern philosopher-kings reshaping society outside of normal democratic channels, and @balajis answers on two fronts: first a pro-democracy credential dump (technodemocracy, on-chain voting, funding open-source rule-of-law tools), then some perspective: tech wealth is the newest of new money, made largely by immigrants and outsiders who were marginal to American life, not political class inheritors. Clipped from @Kerissilicon

Spicy stuff from @Balajis: the USA is trying to flex as if they're in the 1945 America, but they're not. Some civilization states are going to see their sovereignty increase. Other states that were America dependent are going to see their sovereignty decrease. The internet has already taken over some aspects of sovereignty from the American state. Mark Carney in a sense is the most important American Democrat, even though he's Canadian.

Balaji on his role as an investor-guest in the countries he builds in: politicians set the rules, Network States play by them. @balajis @ns

@abacaj Such a high value meme

@beffjezos @elonmusk Starting new accounts is pretty rough tho

@elonmusk CEO going direct on X is the way

𝕏 is a great platform for product announcements, especially if done by the CEO directly. Way more interesting to the public than generic press releases. This post by Mark Zuckerberg already received over 12 million views for free!

@PeterDiamandis Welcome to the Singularity. Looking forward to riding it with you!

I feel we are overestimating the year and radically underestimating the decade; 2026 will be nothing compared to 2036.

@chokudai I love this spirit. Congratulations!

負けた！AIに完敗しました！ とても良い問題で、人間の良さがとても出ていて、競技時間も十分にあり、それでもAIに圧倒された。一つの節目としては素晴らしい問題と素晴らしい競技者だったと思う。観戦してくださった方々、ありがとうございました！明日のAlgorithm部門もぜひ見てね！！ #AWTF2026

@lionel_mora AI tutors in Africa is going to be such a game changer 💖

Following the amazing reaction to the Marble Curriculum yesterday, we've decided to make it open source 🛰️👇 Everything a child learns in primary school. 1,590 concepts. 3,221 connections across 8 subjects, from Math and Science to Computing and Life Skills. Anchored in the US and UK curriculums, standard by standard (NGSS, Common Core, DfE). What you will find in the repo: every concept as structured JSON with its age band and the evidence a child must show to master it. Every prerequisite link marked hard or soft, with a written rationale. It's a true DAG you can compute learning paths on. Open license, you can build whatever you want with it. Now is a unique time in history to be building in education. Getting AI and kids education right is likely one of the hardest and most important problems to crack over the next decade and we need as many smart and creative minds behind it. We think a common solid basis, accessible to all and that can be built upon, is critical to move fast. That's why we're making this curriculum open source. It's not perfect but we know it's a robust basis, and we believe that sharing it openly is the fastest way to progress in this field. If you're building in education, share this around you and tell us in comments if you find this useful and if you want to contribute. We'll keep working and investing on it @withmarbleapp. Credit goes to @guillaume_boni for building this. I just made it look pretty. Links below 👇

@beffjezos Go get em big guy
