Kalshi wants to sponsor Breaking Points..."Not only no, but f*** no. We do not want your blood money." @esaagar
If you're a parent with a child in public school: You have a duty to lobby the school board to get them remove ALL ed tech from the classroom
This is an incredible project: NBC News asked parents to check their kids' YouTube history during school hours — and the results show kids are spending huge chunks of the day watching videos that have nothing to do with learning

1/10 American parents are smoking weed a majority of days with 5% doing it every day
The worst part is weed addicts will normalize and defend this: at the least the drunks are ashamed enough to hide liquor in water bottles
Marijuana use among parents of minor children has spiked to over 5 percent

Two kids cry at the same time and are annoying? News at 11
This is just catnip for childless 30 year olds who worship brunch and happy hour
Wrote about having two kids gq.com/story/second-child-fa…
A true conundrum: Countries across the world have thrown billions at child incentives and they mostly don't work
and yet when people effectively have limitless funds (top 1%) they choose a hyper traditional family arrangement of stay at home mom + 3 kids

After I’ve conquered weed I will turn to Kratom: It’s insane that it’s legal
Frankly most of these smoke shop peddlers should be shut down entirely
Dear @Kalshi: The answer is not only no but fuck no
We do not want your blood money
Modest proposal: Boomers don't have to pay property tax. I don't have to pay for their morbid obesity and inflation adjusted 'fixed income'
20 years ago smug boomers watched TV and laughed at NINJA loan welfare queen home buyers
“Nobody has the RIGHT to a home” they sneered
Today they’re rioting over property taxes and claiming they have a *right* to live in their homes indefinitely regardless of appreciation
Weed addicts worship weed so much they recoil at the idea of having a child getting in the way of their high

"What do I owe society?", asked the guy in the green.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

I think I finally figured out the problem: people are genuinely so low IQ and financially illiterate they think their mortgage which includes property tax is actually just the remaining balance on their house
That’s why they always say “I spent 30 years paying my house off”
The most selfish generation in American history
We have no choice but to break the back of the AARP lobby to ensure prosperity for ourselves and our children

I've been getting kind messages from family and friends, and many in the comments on YouTube (which I didn't expect), for this interview I did with Breaking Points @esaagar & @krystalball (h/t also to @griffinpdavis) earlier this week! Thank you so much for having me on and giving me the chance to connect with a much larger audience (~250k and counting!) than my nerdy, and dare I say nuanced, analyses usually allow :) You can watch the full 18-min interview here on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=Gj6lW9va…. Thank you @esaagar again for the invite!
Timestamps:
Min 1: Understanding the problem with Dario's approach to coordination
Min 3: How the Chinese state views a wide range of AI risks
Min 4: Why the AGI race framing is misleading
Min 6: Understanding China's science and tech, and by extension AI, priorities
Min 7: How good Chinese models are becoming (I might have said GLM-5.3, but really meant Kimi K3, although both models matter)
Min 8: China's emerging position on model oversight and coordination with the U.S. (This aged very well with MofCom's announcement today. See my analysis here: xitter.cf/kristy_loke/status/211…)
Min 9: Chinese companies' open model adaptation & how we should read Xi's July speech at WAIC
Min 12: What actually happened at the Trump-Xi summit
Min 16: China's data center buildout and why state-market relations matter when it comes to public trust
Really important update from China's ministry of commerce and ministry of science and tech (h/t @Nectar_Gan), not because it signals that the government's honeymoon period with open weight AI is over, far from it. But because it further confirms that as China's working on building out a more robust AI risk management regime (sth discussed in this year's Five Year Plan, see photo below, & by Xi at the World of AI Conference), it is singling out high-risk open models for more scrutiny. It appears that if the risks/ capabilities demand, a filing regime or prohibition may be considered, but this will be narrowly enforced and affect only a small number of products & services.
So, what hasn't changed: Open model releases at home and abroad remain a welcomed development by the government.
What has been clarified: On the open weight AI front, expect China to step up capability/risk-based governance to meet domestic needs, global demands.
Here are the relevant discussions and sentences (I'll let X's translate function do its job):
1. 此次修订亦是技术贸易管理的**常态化⼯作**，依法依规进⾏，不针对任何特定国家、地区或实体。
2. 近年来，⼈⼯智能、⽣物医药和光伏相关技术在敏感领域的应⽤不断拓展，各主要经济体均实施了不同程度的出⼝管控。
3. 中国参考国际通⾏做法，依法实施必要的管理，既**防范技术失控和不当扩散⻛险，也保障正常国际技术交流合作**，推动科技向上向善、安全可控、造福⼈类。
4. 中国政府⼀贯⽀持企业依法依规开展互利共赢的跨国经营与国际技术合作，**有关政策⽴场没有改变**。
5. 此次拟将⼈⼯智能⼤模型、智能体、⼒集群、信息处理相关23项关键技术增列⾄《⽬录》，主要有以下考虑：... 此次拟列管的**⼈⼯智能⾃主驱动恶意代码⽣成与变异技术等，可被⽤于攻击国家关键信息基础设施、国防军⼯、核
⼼政务等敏感系统，或⽤于绕过国家安全防御体系**。
6. ⿎励开源开放、合作共享。... **为⽀持构建⼈⼯智能开源创新⽣态体系，对⼈⼯智能类技术开源、中国企业在境外⾃建⾃营算⼒中⼼、赴境外开展芯⽚流⽚制造、利⽤境外资源开展联合研发、参与国际标准制定等情形的技术出，适⽤⾃动许可等便利措施，基本实现“即报即出”** ；对已通过开源、发表学术论⽂等⽅式进⼊公共领域的相关技术，拟不纳⼊出⼝管理范围，为⼈⼯智能技术国际交流合作创造良好环。
7. 需要特别指出的是，中⽅主张在相互尊重、平等互利基础上，与各国开展⼈⼯智能对话合作，**共同应对⼈⼯智能技术扩散和失控⻛险**。
8. **有关措施正式实施后，绝⼤部分⼈⼯智能技术仍可以⾃由出⼝。** 对于纳⼊限制类的⼈⼯智能技术，开展海外本地化部署，属于技术出⼝管理范围；**如果部署在海外⾃有云等⻛险相对可控的情形下，可适⽤⾃动许可等便利措施。** 对于企业利⽤限制类⼤模型对外提供API调⽤、APP/⽹⻚交互、SaaS应⽤、本地端侧轻量化部署等情形，不属于⼤模型技术出⼝管理范围。
(highlights are mine)
Overall, this doc does not strike me as a trade bargaining chip as much as primarily an AI security play & secondarily a soft power play (i.e. responding to global concerns over risks from frontier open models). This development/ document also chimes with my predictions back in July xitter.cf/kristy_loke/status/207… & my observations last month: thewirechina.com/2026/09/29/….
This is what sports gambling has given us: a player suffers a genuinely scary injury and the sports press is out here saying it needs to be handled in a way to PROTECT GAMBLERS
Genuine scum: The NFL, sports media, the gambling houses enable/encourage this behavior
Alex, I appreciate the sentiment but it’s important to note that the soft core porn is specifically tied to sports gambling which your sport is in league with
Dodgers player Alex Call is calling out MLB and broadcasters over the ads during postseason games.
"Can we please get the soft porn ads off playoff broadcasts? My son wants to watch baseball with Dada, but how do I justify that when a half-naked woman could come on screen anytime?? This is America’s Pastime. Parents shouldn’t have to worry about this."
"I take weed to sleep"
Actual medical science: "Medical cannabis versus placebo The synthesized evidence from our comparison indicates that, compared with placebo, medical cannabis may have little to no clinically meaningful effect on the quality of sleep"
