I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Here's a fun experiment. Get your ear buds on, blast your favorite tunes, walk over to a microwave, and turn it on for 10 seconds. What happens and why? lol

The unthinkable has happened: BYD has overtaken and raced ahead of Tesla. This is true on stock performance, sales volume, global expansion, and market confidence. The once-invincible Tesla is grappling with faltering demand, price cuts that squeeze margins, and an Elon Musk self-inflicted brand crisis. Just take a look at the chart below which shows the year-to-date dollar performance of Tesla versus BYD's ADR. Here's a breakdown: 🔸BYD sold 4.27 million vehicles in 2024, more than double Tesla’s volume. 🔸Tesla’s has had its first-ever annual sales decline 🔸BYD’s vertically integrated manufacturing and diverse lineup (from affordable EVs to luxury sub-brands) let it scale profitably. 🔸BYD’s Blade Battery and ultra-fast charging tech are making EVs more accessible and efficient. 🔸Cybertruck delays and Self-Driving safety probes has hurt Tesla. 🔸Musk's polarising politics and Twitter antics have tarnished Tesla’s image In this high-stakes clash, Tesla is scrambling to regain footing while BYD keeps accelerating ahead. The battle isn’t over, but the “Tesla = EV King” era has end. What Do You Think? Can Tesla bounce back with new models or radical innovation? Or has BYD cemented its place as the new global EV leader? Share your thoughts below. Music: Open Roads by Aiyo, Epidemic Sounds

What Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to do to Medicaid, Social Security, and more is fiscally irresponsible and illegal.

Senate Democrats just took to the floor to introduce resolution after resolution using unanimous consent to fight for Ukraine and democracy and condemn Putin. These have been American ideals and values. Tonight a few Senate Republicans blocked all of them. We must not stop fighting for Ukraine and democracy.

Thank you for your support.
Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine. For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience. Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all. Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.
