It’s more like an extreme form of genre inertia: straight pulling from romance written in late medieval/renaissance era.

As government restrictions on frontier models tighten, selling frontier AI as a service gets harder. So labs will increasingly use the models they can’t release to capture the value chains themselves. If you can’t sell to Berkshire Hathaway, you become Berkshire Hathaway.

btw he still has AI psychosis he recently did an interview and argued: - asking a model to compose a deeply sorrowful piece of music, while believing it has no empathy is like looking at a photorealistic portrait and believing the painter was blind he's basically still

Etymologically, Plato tells us in Cratylus that “a-pollon” means, “not the many”: the few, or perhaps the one. Apollymi (ἀπόλλυμι) means “to destroy.” Apollo is the God of City Founding; or in the age of intelligence, Planetary Empire

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.

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.

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.

If we look at the percent of unhoused homeless as a percent of the US total population, we see a shocking stability across time and our current homeless population is returning to the pre-Millennial dip of the 2010s. That makes me wonder if there is a kind of min-max

Vincent Geloso @VincentGeloso 2026-06-28 18:25Z

The vacancy tax (as applied in France) is not a good idea and the empirical support for it is overstated by a big mile! The best paper on it, which is good, overstates its case in ways that should be addressed. https:// vgeloso.substack.com/p/reasons-to-d oubt-the-vacancy-tax …
