Not as comparable. They happened either in Covid or in very low inflationary environments. For one of the freezes, cost growth was actually negative. Owners also had more recourse to other legal ways of rental increases then, which were cut off in 2019. Allowable rental

I considered “trusting” as a replacement, but that’s only a good thing insofar as the trust is well-placed, and there are many ways modern westerners shouldn’t trust the society around them. Whereas courage seems much more broadly desirable.

The US Government has requested a slow staggered rollout of GPT-5.6, and OpenAI has agreed. During this phase the government will approve each user individually. This will probably be the norm for all frontier models from all labs from now on.

Pretty good progress! Trained a model on my teleop data and deployed it on the arm. The robot attempts to tidy an object by itself - it moves to the tape, tries to grab it and heads for the bowl. Doesn't manage the grasp, but it seems to understand the gist of the task.

More seriously the main reason it cannot happen and that conditions everything downstream: no tech sector. That’s the critical lifeline for a frontier labs: even after the agentic turn, general economic demand is nowhere near mature enough to cover fixed compute scaling costs.

Modern-day finance: You can get leverage via margin to buy a 2x leveraged ETF on MSTR, which is itself a leveraged bet on BTC, partly via a novel security whose cost of capital rises as its price falls, increasing leverage further as it declines. Works great in a bull market.
