Les troupes américaines quittent l'Irak après 23 ans. Et pas une seule arme de destruction massive trouvée 1,3 million d’irakiens morts

September wasn't a great month for stocks. Negative month across trading and investment accounts. High oil and interest rates starting to bite.

Bessent buying back $6B of the $40 trillion U.S. debt visualized

Trading US shares this year was a frustrating experience thus far. Major volatility in the tech sector and exchange rates didn't help.

With CEO's salivating at the prospects of cutting costs (jobs) with AI, I hope they also realise that they will cut layers of responsibility between them and AI liabilities. We'll see many "smart" CEO's that see guardrails as impediments to profits end up liquidated or jailed.

With the current energy crisis brewing (higher transport & food costs) the poor in South Africa will become restless and will blame someone to blow off steam. That someone I suspect will be illegal foreigners once again. I think we're in for a tough few months in SA.

The bad news is AI will lead to the extermination of the human race. The good news is that you will have enough time to enjoy the Anthropic and ChatGPT IPO's.

Any pursuit of superintelligence has to be grounded in the core principle that if the AI we build is not helping humanity and under human control, it's not worth pursuing. We also need to accelerate and spread the benefits of AI, such that they are diffused broadly across countries, communities, and companies. This requires a frontier ecosystem in which both closed and open-source models can thrive. And for firms, it’s imperative that they retain full control over their unique and tacit knowledge. Every organization should be able to build its own continuous learning loop/hill climbing machine, without becoming dependent on any one model provider, and have the ability to embed its own knowledge into models and weights they control. So, in this context, we welcome the research, focus, and deliberate pacing needed to get alignment right as the design goal. We also welcome ideas like "embedded evaluators" and the broader efforts to develop the mechanisms to make this more than just talk. The key is that this cannot be controlled by a handful of entities, but must have broad representation across the ecosystem, countries, and fields, including academia. This is the approach we are taking: broad access and choice at every layer of the AI stack; enterprise control of learning loops and models; and the “Code of Conduct” that underlies our own first party MAI models that we’ll publish tomorrow for public consultation.

The difference in grace class elegance and femininity was stark tonight. No grunting no screaming. No celebs in her box. No crazy entourage. No horrendous pumped-up boyfriend. Just movement like a gazelle and the purest of hitting. Acqua e sapone. 👏👏👏👏👏

EV market is on a great growth trajectory with current fuel costs.

Up early this morning to speak to 3 very large companies that were my clients and we parted ways when I refused to support them giving highly proprietary data to OpenAI’s models. ALL contacted me yesterday. Do you hear me now?

OpenAI WILL monetize your knowledge. This will inevitable result in less quality knowledge to be shared for general consumption.

Not investment advice, but international markets currently offer something the U.S. doesn't offer to the same degree: Lower valuations, higher dividend yields and less concentration in a handful of U.S. technology companies.
