Who among us is truly free when their mind is occupied by the will of another? This is a central question of our time. A few thoughts on the topic👇

NYC really shot themselves in the throat with this one. I'd say foot except the likelihood of successfully recovering from this choice is far lower.
Call me old-fashioned, but I think NYC mayoral announcements should probably be in English.

Tout le monde devient fou parce qu'Elon Musk a une fortune de 1 000 milliards de dollars. TrĂšs bien. Faisons les comptes, calmement. L'État fĂ©dĂ©ral amĂ©ricain dĂ©pense 7 000 milliards de dollars par an. La fortune entiĂšre d'Elon, accumulĂ©e sur 30 ans de travail, reprĂ©sente 52 jours de dĂ©penses de Washington. L'État français dĂ©pense 1 700 milliards d'euros par an, 57% du PIB, record absolu du monde dĂ©veloppĂ©. La fortune d'Elon, c'est 7 mois de dĂ©penses publiques françaises. Maintenant, la question que personne ne pose : qu'est-ce que chacun a produit avec cet argent ? Washington, avec 7 000 milliards par an : un dĂ©ficit de 1 800 milliards, une dette de 38 000 milliards, et des intĂ©rĂȘts de la dette qui dĂ©passent dĂ©sormais le budget militaire. La Californie de Newsom a brĂ»lĂ© plus de 15 milliards dans un train Ă  grande vitesse qui n'existe pas. La NASA a dĂ©pensĂ© plus de 24 milliards pour dĂ©velopper le SLS, une fusĂ©e jetable Ă  4 milliards le lancement. La France, avec 1 700 milliards par an : un hĂŽpital en crise permanente, une Ă©cole qui s'effondre dans les classements internationaux, 3 400 milliards de dette, et pas une seule entreprise technologique de rang mondial créée en 25 ans. Elon, avec une fraction microscopique de ces budgets : le Falcon 9 dĂ©veloppĂ© pour environ 400 millions de dollars, lĂ  oĂč la NASA estimait elle-mĂȘme qu'il lui en aurait coĂ»tĂ© 4 milliards. Dix fois moins cher. Des fusĂ©es qui atterrissent. Le coĂ»t du kilo en orbite divisĂ© par 20. Starlink qui connecte des millions de personnes que les plans d'amĂ©nagement du territoire ont oubliĂ©es pendant 40 ans. Tesla qui a forcĂ© toute l'industrie automobile mondiale Ă  basculer vers l'Ă©lectrique, ce que 30 ans de COP et de subventions n'avaient pas rĂ©ussi Ă  faire. Donc rĂ©capitulons. Les États ont des moyens 10 Ă  50 fois supĂ©rieurs, le monopole de la loi, le monopole de l'impĂŽt, et des dĂ©cennies d'avance. Elon a beaucoup moins de moyens, zĂ©ro pouvoir de contrainte, et il surperforme tout le monde, dans tous les domaines oĂč il entre. Ce n'est pas un hasard. C'est structurel. Quand un entrepreneur alloue son propre argent, chaque erreur lui coĂ»te personnellement, donc il apprend vite. Quand un bureaucrate alloue l'argent des autres, chaque erreur est invisible, diluĂ©e, et souvent rĂ©compensĂ©e par un budget supplĂ©mentaire l'annĂ©e suivante. L'un a une boucle de feedback, l'autre n'en a pas. La conclusion s'impose d'elle-mĂȘme : le pouvoir de crĂ©er des systĂšmes dans le monde rĂ©el doit TOUJOURS ĂȘtre donnĂ© aux entrepreneurs qui allouent leur propre argent. Pas parce qu'ils sont meilleurs moralement. Parce qu'ils sont les seuls Ă  payer le prix de leurs erreurs, et donc les seuls capables de corriger. Milei a TOUT compris. Re-regardez son discours de Davos. "L'État n'est pas la solution, l'État est le problĂšme lui-mĂȘme." Tout le monde a ri en 2024. L'Argentine est sortie de l'hyperinflation pendant que la France cherche encore 40 milliards d'Ă©conomies qu'elle ne trouvera jamais. L'histoire ne juge pas les intentions. Elle juge l'allocation.

Don’t worry about Elon becoming rich with his own money. Worry about politicians becoming rich with your money.

Realizing so many really cannot get their minds nor hearts around the concept of "creating wealth". Not inheriting it, taking it from someone else, winning a prize out of sheer luck not investing in other creators but actually and truly doing usefully creative things for others.

Congratulations to all those who contributed and all those continuing to build @SpaceX. Underrated is the impact @elonmusk has had on other founders — operational depth, managers must also be ICs, be more ambitious, the best people can run many companies, be true to oneself. Changing the meta strategy of startups may have as much or more impact than @SpaceX itself.

Congratulations @SpaceX, @elonmusk and humanity on the next phase of this epic journey 🚀🌌 A team that wakes up everyday excited not because the day will be easy but because it will be a particular kind of hard.

As a bio user of Claude, I think their launch is actually reasonable. I suspect they overestimate bio weapon risk, but it’s prudent to be cautious. Clearly there were real cyber security risks and Mythos staged rollout to trusted parties was important/critical. For broader release, they had two options (1) hold back access for all users until all sophisticated cyber and bio guardrails were in place or (2) release the model for everyone much earlier by adding easier to define but very crude and broad cyber and bio guardrails. seems that “2” is clearly better for everyone, even if it feels painful now. (There’s a whole separate question of who should determine these boundaries in the future. And who should determine which parties are “trusted.” But for now, it really is up to the companies, and it seems Anthropic is being fairly responsible).

NEW: malware developers added nuclear & biological weapons text to to their spyware. Goal? To trigger LLM safety refusals... so that their spyware wouldn't be analyzed by an AI security scanner. Cleanest practical example I can think of for why over-indexing on first order safety alignment is risky. When closed (and open) models ship with aggressive refusals, they will be sprinkled with second-order blindspots that attackers will discover...and exploit. We are only in the earliest days of attackers leveraging these features, and it wouldn't surprise me if users systems that need to handle complex cybersecurity issues demand that models be less safety-blunted. In the weeds: @SocketSecurity's post also shows why intention matters in how you design a malware analysis pipeline to avoid prompt manipulation. H/T to colleagues that shared this with me socket.dev/blog/mini-shai-hu

in our 2026 @newlimit progress update, we announced our first candidate medicine. it has the one of the most striking effects i’ve ever seen. a single treatment accelerates recovery from alcohol in old animals. it’s so dramatic you can see it with your bare eyes!

Sat down with @shaunmmaguire recently to talk through where Neuralink is and where it's going. A few things that came up: - over 20 participants now, more than 45,000 hours of BCI use — people controlling computers and speaking again with their thoughts, still hits me every time - the implant with tiny flexible threads is impressive, but so are the surgical robots, microfab, and assembly lines needed to deliver BCI at scale (arguably harder to build) - our current focus is restoration of function - but the brain doesn't think in keystrokes, what we're really after is direct transfer of concepts, no compression, no language bottleneck - most timelines are just friction people have accepted as normal, and we often ask: if every light were green, how fast could you physically build this? - the caregivers and families of our participants don't get enough credit — their stories of love, sacrifice, and resilience keep us showing up the way we do youtube.com/watch?v=by7Y9KoE

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic
