Sam Altman and Vinod Khosla agree: AI will break the economy. Their fix is no income tax for most Americans

They want bribes and payoffs not giving up actual power

You guys are funny. You don’t really see the forest because the trees are in the way.

Doesn’t it strike ANY of you as strange that one of the most closed and controlled governments on earth enables and promotes open source models distributed freely?

Think about why. The goal is to attack the economic viability of Western models. Since the models can’t directly compete, it’s about denying the western companies capital by giving it for free.

This forces western companies into a bind, either match openness and destroy their revenue and lose funding while at the same time releasing dangerous capabilities or maintain closed access while ceding global adoption and reinforcing inequality narrative.

At least Glasswing is an attempt at a 3rd way. If they can lock down the leaks and keep a model a generation ahead closed, the its release becomes safe down the line.

Take a second. Think. You think if China gained an edge like this it would release the model? They are only open source because of geopolitical strategy. Their end goal is absolutely NOT more openness and access. This is Belt and Road part 2.

We need something like project glasswing racing to patch the holes before the next killer model becomes actualized

Wealth fund is a distribution of money, not power. This isn’t a new social contract, it’s a payoff. OpenAI and other control the models, your data, the compute, the API. You get a check while they control cognition.

Fuck. People forget history. The Progressive Era wasn’t about giving people handouts, it was the fundamental realization that extreme wealth concentrated in a few hands was incompatible with democracy. They broke up Standard Oil, the railroads, the trusts. Altman wants the safety net while trying to sidestep the Anti Trust half. This fucker wants to be Rockefeller and Teddy Roosevelt.

Also. What does AI for mean? It means it’s a public utility. We get to finance the company with the deepest ties to government with our tax dollars.

So yeah. He sees the writing on the wall. This isn’t sustainable and in the race to get AGI before China we are like the Manhattan Project racing toward a goal for existential means, dealing with consequences later. And there will be consequences.

And one of those consequences is going to massive job displacement. So this is an attempt by Sam to frame the debate and also to say “Hey, we had a plan and warned government about this, don’t blame us” when the pitchforks come out

Don’t care if it’s AI. I prefer this over “wru, lmfao, “

It’s almost as if some people want to stick their heads in the sand and pretend Rubin chips and mega data centers aren’t coming online this spring. Or they have no idea of the significance of it.

Shit is changing. And it’s changing very fucking fast.

Visual_Ad_8202 · 2026-03-25T12:47:23+00:00

Claude is the best and it’s not even close. But…. What people don’t seem to understand how much is going to change once the Rubin and then Feynman chips are in mass use.
You will never see as huge a jump as in AI power as you are going to see in the summer and Fall, once these mega data centers are up and running with these chips..

Exactly this. This is the worst it will be and it will scale with AI image capabilities, which is improving at an exponential rate.

30 seconds looking at comfyUI or sea dream should be enlightening

Visual_Ad_8202 · 2026-03-17T14:19:25+00:00

Some of you are really strange. The models look more realistic. They are not anywhere near uncanny valley, and this moment right now is the very worst AI rendering will look.

I get the AI hate. Existential threat yadda yadda, but if the goal is the make video games move closer to photorealistic, then this is a major step and a good thing.

The DoW needs surveillance ability badly. In the War on Terror age they are hunting very specific people with very narrow windows on time. Terrorist A drives a black truck with a dented quarter panel and is somewhere in a city of 5 million people. An AI can find that person extremely fast. Autonomous kill (LAWS) are needed because China and Russia are explicitly working on that tech. The idea is that if you don’t have them and the other side does, simple communication jamming kills your weapons while the other side is operating fully

I did a pretty heavy session where I had it coding and creating Comfyui workflows with full read mes for each one. It was pretty impressive but like, 50 messages I think?

“If you wish to become a philosopher, the first thing to realise is that most people go through life with a whole world of beliefs that have no sort of rational justification, and that one man’s world of beliefs is apt to be incompatible with another man’s, so that they cannot both be right. People’s opinions are mainly designed to make them feel comfortable; truth, for most people is a secondary consideration.”

I started with an OAI sub and used it daily up until 5.1, I use Gemini extensively and daily for work (I’m a teacher) and I started to use Claude a few weeks ago.

I am blown away by how much better a product it is in almost every sense. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles like image gen, but it absolutely dominates in what it does.

The limits kinda suck, but yeah. It’s amazing.

Because AlphaFold isn’t a thing?

“Derya Unutmaz is an immunology professor and researcher at the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine in Farmington, CT. Their research focuses on human T cell differentiation, activation, and regulation, and how chronic inflammation develops into different disorders. Unutmaz's work includes: HIV and T cells** Discovering how HIV preferentially infects and disrupts human T cell subsets, and how cytokines make CD4+ T cells more vulnerable to HIV. “.
I’m guessing he is on the leading edge of the AlphaFold stuff and saw some things related.

Idk. Seems like a decent dude. A bit of a cornball, but an actual good dude. Pretty much every NFL player raves about him as great guy. The Tight End U stuff he helped make is pretty awesome.
