Help me understand this. Are they holding out until August so they can seat one of their three establishment choices? And are they scared if there was to be a special election a more conservative would win? Or that it could be a democrat?


Spoke with someone in Louisville. Speculation is that Massie wants to go after the seat. They may be trying to avoid giving him an easier path.
Word out of Kentucky is the recent heat wave was caused by the gates of hell opening up for Mitch.
Connery was mailing it in in the later Bond films. The greatest strength of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was Diana Rigg. In my opinion she was the GOAT of Bond girls, and her character was an equal to Bond in that film.

yall letting tranny men in yet, like the DAR are letting in tranny women??


lol that won’t happen. The DAR is the sister organization of the Sons of the American Revolution. The Sons of the Revolution is a separate, older, organization, and is harder to get into than the SAR. It’s a very serious organization.

I guess you don’t remember the reality show she had where she did the thumb stomach procedure and lost all that weight. Apparently it didn’t take.


Pretty sure she did a Playboy spread after that.
Actually a card carrying member of the Sons of the Revolution society. My ancestor was at Trenton and Valley Forge, among other places.
1976 was a much bigger deal.
The Kelce’s and Swift can’t disappear fast enough. And this is coming from an Eagles fan.
Saw them at JFK in Philly that summer. Still the greatest concert I ever went to.

Cisco, Oracle, and Sun Micro didn’t have strong booked revenues?


Micron has $22 billion in commitments, including around $18 billion in upfront cash deposits. These take-or-pay contracts lock in revenue for three to five years. Did the companies you mentioned have that?

And it is also true that they were saying the same things just before the dot com bubble burst.


Those bubbles didn’t have 3 years of guaranteed orders like the chipmakers have.

The one thing I could see “popping” is the value of the frontier labs, due to the threat from China and open source models. That’s somewhat contained, however, as there would still be a need for hardware, and productivity gains would still occur.

The Society of Cincinnati is comprised of descendants of those who were officers in the continental army before the American Revolution.


It’s actually being an officer for 3 years during the Revolution. My ancestor was only an officer for 18 months (received multiple promotions while in service). The person at SoC that reviewed said it needed to be 3 years.
This will cause a break. There are currently two different Revolutionary War societies for men (excluding things like the Society of Cincinnati, which is limited to descendants of officers). The two are the Sons of the American Revolution(SAR) and the Sons of the Revolution(SR). Both have similar genealogy requirements, but the SR is slightly more difficult to join and is older than the SAR. It wouldn’t surprise me if a similar “DR” organization is formed for those that disagree with this.

People complaining about affordability while posting from an iPhone 16 while sipping a Starbucks latte.

Office 365 with CoPilot is going to pick up steam in the enterprise space. The ability of it to analyze data within the office suite and output data in a finished format is going to be a huge plus for companies, not to mention the seat licenses are relatively cheap. This is on top of their cloud business.

Once the Muslims are done with the Jews, they’ll go after the gays/trannies. Liberals are friggin stupid.

What is the potential criticism of Anthropic? Or which part of the video discusses it?


Dario stated a month or two ago that Mythos was a cyber threat due to its capabilities (he has a habit of doomerism). Anthropic created a guardrailed version called Fable. The feds asked Anthropic to test it with partners to ensure there were no vulnerabilities, and to include only partners that wouldn’t have connections to the CCP. The following happened:

1) Anthropic included SK Telecom in the testing - SK Telecom is believed to have connections with the CCP.
2) Amazon found that the model could be jailbreaked to remove the guardrails. They contacted Anthropic, who basically ignored Amazon. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was so concerned that he contacted the feds to let them know about the issue.
3) Scott Bessent called Dario directly, and Dario apparently acted like it was no big deal, and didn’t act on it appropriately.
4) Due to Dario’s inaction, the Feds issued an export control directive.

The best part of the segment was Chamath providing Claude Dario’s own writings and the recent information, and asking Claude to psychoanalyze Dario. The model came back saying Dario has epistemic exceptionalism, basically a belief that he possesses a unique or superior capacity for knowledge or understanding compared to others, so the others must be wrong. The group also pointed out that the actions by the frontier labs are going to eventually push the Feds to have the hyperscalers police and effectively control the models, which bodes well for companies like Google, Microsoft etc.
