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.

he’s joking but this is what the coasean boundaries lead to: a firm size of “everybody”; ultra space communism. if you want to find another way out you need to give it a hard think

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.

Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_ 2026-06-25 20:34Z

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.

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.
