US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: "Kimi thinks she is Claude. Kimi will tell you she is Claude sometime. Kimi sent back some PLA weapons plans to Anthropic."

The President of the United States is promising $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if his party wins the midterms. 245 million adults. $1.2 trillion. They say tariffs will pay for it. Tariff revenue is ~$200 billion a year. You do the math.

New ad from Block pitching bitcoin as everyday money. "The government prints more money every day, and the more money they print, the less the money is worth every day."

President Trump just endorsed BPI's Data Center Dividend proposal, 20 days after it was published. Counties that host data centers send a fixed share of property tax revenue directly to local households. No new taxes. BPI estimates the average rural family could receive up to $8,900 a year. Trump: "The data centers are making an absolute fortune. But now, the people are going to benefit directly." x.com/SamLyman33/sta…

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman at PubKey NYC. "New York State right now is number 50 in economic outlook... it is a national embarrassment."

You're still early. Putting together ad pitches is one of those tasks I've dreaded. We have the audience data, the shows, the reasons a business would want to be in front of our audience. Getting it all into a deck was the frustrating part. We've been using an AI agent to help and it's helped us close more deals. I find this encouraging because it's such an ordinary problem. A lot of people running businesses have work like this sitting in front of them. As I discussed with Tommy Eastman, there are three legs to this stool. The model, the harness, and the second brain. At TFTC we use Hermes as the harness and a second brain built from flat files, semantic search, and a knowledge graph. For us, the biggest impact is coming from the harness and second brain setup. Too much of the AI conversation gets stuck on which model is best while people overlook the systems that make it useful in actual work. a16z's latest report gives some perspective. 69% of S&P 500 companies disclose a live AI deployment. Only 2% disclose a metric they track over time. The money being thrown at infrastructure can make it seem like the opportunity has passed. But if you've put a harness or second brain to work, you're further along than the endless stream of model announcements would lead you to believe. There is a lot more to using AI than picking a model. We are still very early.
