@CAgovernor @AOC @HarvardLaw Denying access to all who need that care for themselves is immoral, #unethical, and hypocritical. #medicalization and #decriminalization can coexist, quite nicely!

@CAgovernor .@AOC These two should help the policy you craft and the decisions you delegate: harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-139/… @HarvardLaw mindlumen.substack.com/p/decriminaliz… (short version of #Policy )

.@AOC @RepAOC. What is your stance on #decriminalizing #psychedelics for #mentalhealth and pro-active cognitive #wellbeing? There is no shortage of evidence of benefits - way better than the extractive #pharma model.

@sama Doth protest too much? Cancelled my #ChatGPT subscription :-) Been using @AnthropicAI #Claude for a while and it's way better.

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it. More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions. Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare. One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path. As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything. We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win. We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users. This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

@CAgovernor @GlobalPsySoc @ssdpofficial @DrugPolicyOrg @frontiertower @michaelpollan @Scott_Wiener @TheEconomist Yesterday, I saw a disturbing video that showed a *licensed MD* administering a substance in his #clinic. All kinds of #safety and #ethical boundaries were crossed. So, lets not assume that having it be "#medicalized" is somehow safer than #decriminalized (w/guardrails)

@CAgovernor @GlobalPsySoc @ssdpofficial @DrugPolicyOrg @frontiertower @michaelpollan .@Scott_Wiener had proposed 2 legislative efforts that @CAgovernor killed! He should NOT get our #vote for #POTUS. The pain and suffering of millions went unaddressed. This is cited in respected journals like @TheEconomist etc - it saved me from the suffering that my sister faced

@zoltan_istvan Thank you! Please tell me how you are going to make this happen if you are elected. It doesn’t take money to enact decrim with rational guardrails.

@GehaniNeil I support what you're saying!

@MebFaber @RoKhanna @CAgovernor supports your position - yet it is under his watch the fraud occurred and you supported him, right? So you are complicit ? 🤣 - it’s mostly the wealthy people that write the rules to benefit them - initiatives are a way to counter that

@RoKhanna You're missing the point, people don't trust you to spend it x.com/MebFaber/statu…

My district is $18 trillion, nearly 1/3 of US stock market in a 50 mile radius. We have 5 companies with a market cap over a trillion dollar companies. If I can stand up for a billionaire tax, this is not a hard position for 434 other members or 100 Senators. Those saying that we wouldn't have a future NVIDIA in the Bay if this tax goes into effect are glossing over Silicon Valley history. Jensen was at LSI Logic and his co-founders at Sun. He started NVIDIA in my district because of the semiconductor talent, Stanford, innovation networks, and venture funding. We have 37 times the VC money as Austin given the innovation ecosystem & Florida isn't even on the map. Jensen wasn't thinking I won't start this company because I may have to one day pay a 1 percent tax on my billions. He built here because the talent is here. AI was created with our tax dollars. ImageNet was created by Fei-Fei Li at Stanford using NSF money. This was a visual database. Hinton presented at an ImageNet conference his famous paper. The seminal innovation in tech is done by thousands often with public funds. NSF, DARPA, Stanford, Berkley, San Jose State, Santa Clara and the UCs are the foundation for what has made Silicon Valley a powerhouse. It's why we won 5 Nobel Prizes this year in the UC system. Yes, we need entrepreneurs to commercialize disruptive innovation. Stanford blazed a trail in licensing technology & partnering with the private sector. The university enabled companies like Google which began as a research project called BackRub, looking at back links to rank pages. And entrepreneurs like Brin & Page reap huge rewards when they succeed. But the idea that they would not start companies to make billions, or take advantage of an innovation cluster, if there is a 1-2 percent tax on their staggering wealth defies common sense and economic theory @paulkrugman @DAcemogluMIT @baselinescene. We cannot have a nation with extreme concentration of wealth in a few places but where 70 percent of Americans believe the American dream is dead and healthcare, childcare, housing, education is unaffordable. What will stifle American innovation, what will make us fall behind China, is if we see further political dysfunction and social unrest, if we fail to cultivate the talent in every American and in every city and town. The industrial revolution saw soaring inequality in Britain for nearly 60 years. On the continent, it lead to revolutions in France with worker uprisings (1848) and contributed to one in Russia (1917). America's central challenge is to make sure the AI revolution works for all of us, not just tech billionaires. So yes a billionaire tax is good for American innovation which depends on a strong and thriving American democracy.

@daytonmills @RoKhanna Wrong - capital will flow to where the talent is - talent is votes! Last I checked votes are needed to make policy changes 😂

@RoKhanna Wrong. Talent needs capital to mobilize. The reason talent is here is because capital is here. Incentivize the capital to move and the talent will follow.

@kane @RoKhanna Eliminate state taxes for anyone making <60k and make up for it by charging billionaires - via wealth if they are doing business in this state whether they live here or not 😂

@RoKhanna Congressman, under your leadership Californians already pays some of the highest taxes in the US. You and your fellow politicians’ continued inability to use the massive tax revenue you levy w/o fraud and incompetence is why people don’t like the idea of you raising taxes again:

@garrytan @RoKhanna BS!

@RoKhanna You’re going to 1/10th that market cap in one fell swoop in 5 to 10 years. It’s really not that simple. Sharing the wealth is good when it is productive and doesn’t have extreme effects. This will kill startups.

Looking forward to checking it out and contributing. I am also here @neilgehani.bsky.social.

#EV charging is more expensive than #gas in #California and particularly in the #bayarea. We paid $9 for 26 miles EV only. Gas we paid $4.50/gallon which gets us 50 miles in the city.

.@GavinNewsom is toast! No one should vote for him and least of any #democrat. He hasn't moved fast enough on #housing or on #mentalhealth or public transit. 40 years and no high speed rail. For all his talk about bodily autonomy - it's BS!
