Do not quote retweet this or I will be forced to give people $42.0 or $420!
This is not engagement farming, it’s 1am and I’m bored AF and we all deserve a 420 break!
Do not quote retweet or you might get smashed with X Money

Make the grid work better, make energy cheaper, if we achieve net zero that would be a nice side item.
New: @MassCEC paid @EPRINews $379K to study impacts of climate targets on electric system. EPRI submitted report in 2023, finding that $27B-$46B in investments are needed.
Three years later, after MassCEC never posted it, we got our hands on it. #mapoli commonwealthbeacon.org/energ…

“I'm pro-human.” says Brad Gerstner of @altcap. “I think we need to train the models so that humans stay in control, and they're subject to the conditions and the law of humans.” cnb.cx/4hXyb9Q

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

The House takes up its version of the Governor’s $2.35B supplemental budget today. Here’s what happened between her bill and theirs, section by section.
Governor’s bill (H.5679): 204 sections. House Ways and Means redraft (H.5699): 131.
Ten of the Governor’s sections survive word for word, renumbered. Her §12 is the House’s §38. Her §159 is their §80.
Not in the House bill, in any wording: the two-month gas tax suspension. The ticket-pricing act. The Health Care Stabilization Fund, both the section creating it and the section funding it. And a chapter 156D corporate-law rewrite that ran sixty-plus sections and hasn’t made a headline.
The $600 million transfer to the Stabilization Fund survived, with one word changed: “the act of 2025” became “the acts of 2025.”
“Reported, in part” means everything else is still in committee.
Both bills, every section: mapoliclaw.com/bills/H5679 and mapoliclaw.com/bills/H5699
The more AI you use the more human things you should do on the other side. Sports, concerts, parks, friends, family, clubs, other things involving people. Professional: what is uniquely human that you are good at. Develop that skill. We are hitting the all at once phase of this. Slowly will only hold for so long.

This illustrates the point I’ve been making about the limits of centralized approaches to SI safety in cyber.
OpenCode (and earlier Hugging Face) hit the same wall mid-attack: frontier models refused to analyze the very exploits needed for defense because the payloads tripped safety filters. The guardrails backfired.
Meanwhile, the attackers found a way around restrictions to access advanced capabilities. This is not surprising. Chinese models are only about 6–9 months behind the American frontier in cyber. Obviously the U.S. has no jurisdiction over them.
The only durable response is decentralized: make powerful models available so defenders can build and run their own cyber defenses. The only solution to SI-powered cyberattacks is SI-powered cyber defense.

Probably the biggest gulf between Wall Street and SF people right now is about the overcapacity question. Basically the tech people think if you even entertain the idea of an overbuild, you’re just not AI-pilled.
The fact that the bond market (or for that matter just about everyone except the narrow set of AI investors) has never believed in the productivity-raising impact of AI at least in aggregate cuts both ways.
If in the coming months AI adoption accelerates and/or evidence of agg productivity starts showing up, we could experience a right-tail risk or a massive melt-up of the AI trade. Ofc if the pace of adoption or frontier lab economics disappoint, left-tail risk is real as well.
But at this point the expectation for a repeat of the dot-com style crash at some point over the next 18 months feels to have become increasingly the consensus. I’ve rarely met anyone who doesn’t think this is just a capex bubble and the only thing to do is to get out before the music stops sometime next year.
