The AI space is moving SO fast which is why it is challenging to keep up, just look at the news tonight with Anthropic and the US government about Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Which brings me to this clip from the @semafor Tech San Francisco event - a timely conversation @ReedAlbergotti had with @levie and @jpatel41 in which they discuss Fable and the importance of an open source strategy. This was only one of the many topics covered - highly recommend watching the entire event. Link in comments.

Why is President Trump hosting a UFC fight at the White House on his 80th birthday? "The president thinks this is cool. It's his birthday. He wants to have a big event," @ShelbyTalcott says her White House sources are telling her. "It's not that deep."

The greatest thing about @semafor interviews is that there's a lot of real talk that helps cut through the noise.

"We've raised about $1B, and that's basically all on the balance sheet. Very rare for an AI company to have a business model," @AppliedInt's @qasar tells @ReedAlbergotti. "Lots of other models, but the business model seems to be the most elusive type of model."

.@ReedAlbergotti: "Are you still thinking about something like AGI on the horizon, where we hit this point where it just completely blows away everything we're talking about today?" @jpatel41: "Aren't we already there, to some degree? It's bonkers how quickly we get used to this stuff. Everyone now starts complaining about the seats not being comfortable in a Waymo. It's like, this freakin' thing is driving itself!"

🟡Read @semafor media ed @maxwelltani on how paid influencers have been pushing election conspiracies and disinformation throughout the LA mayoral election: semafor.com/article/06/05/20…

Popular Information has uncovered a network of at least 16 influencers1, with a collective audience of 13 million, publishing election-related misinformation in posts sponsored by Polymarket.

🟡 @joncaramanica and @joecoscarelli of The New York Times’ Popcast show join Mixed Signals to talk to @maxwelltani and @semaforben about how a two-decade-old music podcast became one of the most coveted interview slots in music — landing Taylor Swift, A$AP Rocky, Olivia Rodrigo, and Bad Bunny — by offering something most celebrity press won't: no question approval, no topic restrictions, and critics who've actually been covering these artists for years.
