I many ways (not all) Japan is peak culture. I say this as a red blooded American.
There is a lot we can learn.
We used to have a culture of personal responsibility. What changed?
After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game.

🤯 MIND BLOWN! @boringcompany @elonmusk recently launched Vegas Loop tunnel service from Las Vegas Airport to many hotels. Door to door. For $14 max (no tipping).
The tunnel to the airport is being completed so you have to take surface streets for a little bit, but otherwise it is extremely fast and direct! Never taking Uber here again!

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:
— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.
— Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)
— A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.
— In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.”
— In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.
— In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.
— The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.
— Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

Analysts gonna analyze
📢 Update
As some suspected at the time, JP Morgan was buying Tesla stock while their old $TSLA analyst was publicly warning others to sell (for the 10th straight year), lowering their cost basis. Their new analyst's price target is $475.
You don't hate Wall St. enough.

WILD STORY: Nepali mountain guide Hilary Dawe Sherpa, 52, was presumed dead after disappearing during his descent from Mount Everest following a successful summit on May 29.
His oxygen supply ran out near Camp 4 at roughly 7,950 meters. After losing contact with his client, Dawe Sherpa vanished into the mountain’s notorious “death zone,” where oxygen levels are too low to sustain human life for long periods.
Helicopter searches found no trace of him. His family began funeral preparations.
But Dawe Sherpa survived.
For nearly 6 days, he endured subzero temperatures, thin air, avalanches and severe dehydration. He survived initially without food, later finding a few chocolates in his pocket. He chewed ice and melted snow for water.
At one stage, he fell into a crevasse and remained trapped for about 2.5 days. An avalanche later filled part of the crevasse with snow, creating an escape route that allowed him to climb out.
Using fixed ropes left on the mountain, he continued descending through the night despite frostbite, exhaustion and injuries.
On June 5, members of a cleanup team working near the Khumbu Icefall spotted him crawling toward Base Camp and carried him to safety.
He was later airlifted to Kathmandu suffering from frostbite, dehydration and a broken bone.
“I didn’t think I would survive. I thought this is how I was going to die,” Dawe Sherpa said from his hospital bed.
His wife, who had begun funeral rites the previous day, learned he was alive only after rescuers brought him down from the mountain.
Search teams described the rescue as nothing short of a miracle on the world’s highest peak.

In 1976, Apple’s third co-founder Ronald Wayne sold his 10% stake in Apple for $800 out of fear the business would fail.
Today it would be worth $455 billion, worth more than Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest, Spotify, Snapchat, Roblox and Reddit combined.
He is now 92 years old and lives in a mobile home off Social Security checks.

Interesting, comrade.

Enjoy this video of Neville Singham addressing an audience of Chinese nationals as “comrades” as he rails against the American system and calls for “a new world order that is based on multilateralism that President Xi and the CPC and China have proposed.”
This man is a Marxist. Full stop. And yet, he funds one of the most influential nonprofit networks here in the United States to the tune of $278 million—all from his comfortable perch in Shanghai.
When Singham isn’t calling for the overthrow of “fascism” and US “imperialism,” his network is fighting tooth and nail to oppose the buildout of American AI.
Are you starting to see how this works?
