Thing that I of the bat dislike the most is that deepseek might make Sam Altman indispensable in the eyes of the US government
I think it’s the opposite- Like this demonstrates how easily he replaceable he is no?
- Also, the Sam Altman arc is speed running super villainy, in two years he went from “running a non-profit” to saying we will be on basic income while he drives a $4 million caMatt
- I had that thought but feared that the consensus would be that “well he’s the best we’ve got and everyone in Silicon Valley is backing him already”, a la the stage announcemen
- I think the LLMs are commodities now, we get 1000 Sam’s, he’ll still have the most obnoxious car though
- Does he? I haven’t seen his car but now I must Google
- Oof. He’s one of those guys like Zuckerberg that nothing could really make look cool
- I don’t care that he has a nice car, I just don’t believe his self righteousness thing
- I think that’s sort of just a billionaire thing
- Like they think they are brilliant and have important things to say about the direction society should be moving
- Your bill ackmams, chamaths and other consummate charlatans
Run of the mill narcissists who have managed to accumulate endless resources- https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/1884019385813123528
- See above, re: Sam Altman
- I don’t see Sam Altman in here
- He is the guy who is going to continue to garner support from the government
- Who else are they going to give money to
- There’s a long list of American companies with LLMs
- And you don’t think the foremost beneficiary of any government support is going to be Sam Altman?
- It’s an arms race now, but it’s funny to me that they think oh we just need to throw more money at it obviously
- Rather than looking at how these companies are using their funding
- Basically this

- lol. Yeah, if only they could operate with the transparency and moral probity of Chinese enterprise .
- If this isn’t disruptive to the status quo, I think we’re probably doing ai wrong. And if 100/up to 500 billion isn’t going to do anything but put a data center in every city we are behaving like buffoon
- Thank God we have visionaries like David sacks and Marc Andreessen to advise us
- Think it’s more like when mp3s first came out
- We thought we’d need less space, but years later, need just soo much more
- I’ll die before I give up my Zune
- I was a dell jukebox man myself
- In the voice of caul shivers: “never heard of it”

- LolllllllCullen Conway
- And they not only froze all aid for AIDS to other countries but forbid even the existing meds that are already there from being distributed
- Infectious disease is so stoked on the coming years
- It’s all part of the plan to kill the elderly to reduce our social security spend
- That’s crazy, its like 60 million people
- Medicare when you have grey hair Medicaid when you don’t get paid it’s the poors they are trying to kill
- Yeah, its like 1/5th the country
- I imagine they will walk it back
- Huge amount of money, could cause a recession to just kick that many people out of the healthcare system
- They’re just trying to force this shit to the courts so the Supreme Court can give them freedom to bypass congress on spending
Not only that, they paused grants and the ability of the federal government to enter into contracts. Sucking massive amounts of cash out of the economy if it persists.- Yeah that was always the silliest thing about DOGE, gov spending is 1/3rd GDP , you can’t meaningfully cut it without just fucking everyon
- Are we great again2
- Matt these needs to be you but with corn dogs after this weekMatt
- Is that John Mellencamp?
- That’s a deep cut if so
- Brian?

- That is so funny like what if critical employees take him up on that and things just start (or I guess continue to) break
- They’re going to have to fire meDaniel Miller
