California hasn't built its bullet train because the state has required 130,000 pages of environmental reports, making absurd demands like:
• counting bumblebees one by one
• rebuilding woodrat stick huts
• hiring specialized dogs to sniff lizard scat

American tax dollars should go to the programs they are intended for, not foreign fraudsters.

About the "public good"
We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

There’s not a leader in the past immune to criticism except Jesus. But I tell you this – the virtue of Christopher Columbus is towering. Happy Columbus Day, everybody! @thegnewsroom

We believe that the West can awaken from its long slumber – and rekindle the fire that was first lit in ancient Greece millennia ago.

SECRETARY RUBIO: The history of America, the history of my country, is covered with the fingerprints of antiquity. Greece is literally carved into the architecture of our government: in the towering columns, domes and monuments across our capital city. The city where our Constitution was born – Philadelphia – is itself a Greek name.

“We are not all right.”
I said those words in the days after October 7, 2023. Three years later, we are STILL not all right.
We remember the children, parents and grandparents murdered by Hamas. The young people who went to a music festival and never came home. The families whose pain does not end when the anniversary passes.
And we are not all right when antisemitism spreads like wildfire, too often fueled or excused by government officials who have a responsibility to confront it. We are not all right when Jewish families live in fear and those entrusted to protect them look the other way.
It is more important than ever to stand up, speak out and fight this hatred. Silence cannot be our answer.
To my Jewish brothers and sisters: Your fight is my fight. I am your brother. I stood beside you then. I stand beside you now. And I always will.
May the memories of those we lost be a blessing.

“So you opened a bar centered around revolutionary praxis instead of alcohol sales?”
That’s correct Dave
“and your primary customer base makes approximately zero dollars a year”
That’s right
“How did they even drink with the masks on?”
They didn’t dave

To paraphrase Reagan, the sixteen most terrifying words in the English language are: “I'm from ‘the right combination of governments’ chosen by Dario Amodei, and I'm here to help.”

“Mr. Amodei, it turns out this country already has some regulations relevant to Anthropic, specifically Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code.”
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

This morning, our nation pauses to remember the nearly 3,000 people killed on September 11, 2001.
The NYPD holds especially close the memory of the 23 members of the department who were killed at the World Trade Center that morning, and the more than 500 members who later died from illnesses connected to the rescue and recovery effort.
May the memories of all those we have lost be an eternal blessing. And may we always be worthy of the legacy they left in our hands.

Charlie Kirk had a unique gift for articulating the good — the goodness of family, faith, and America.
One year ago today, he was killed for it.
We’ll honor his legacy by building great things and holding to account the enemies of civilization.

I resigned from 7-Eleven today. I spent the last three years doing roller-grill research at both Speedway and 7-Eleven.
Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to autonomous wiener dispensers and gambling with our lives.

Crazy to see "free-market conservatives" tell anxious young people to shut up and accept double-digit inflation, instead of taking the opportunity to explain that inflation is a direct result of bad government policy.
It's perfectly fine to notice that burritos shouldn't be $20.

I would expect New Yorkers who are not dumb and have a shared love for the city and respect for each other to start demanding that @NYCMayor resign.

I can't believe The Chainsmokers didn't do deeper diligence into Phia.
Feels like the fabric of venture capital has been broken.

You know who else was increasingly isolated and holed up as his campaign and dreams for a sweeping victory approached its end?
An increasingly isolated Graham Platner is holed up at home, navigating the likely end of his campaign and trying to leverage input on the next steps.
Campaign staff were told this afternoon that Platner will speak on his future tonight, @merica reports: washingtonpost.com/politics/…
