Apple dropped; OpenAI still sued + Farzad’s question

muskonomy, Sep 14 afternoon CT: BREAKING: Elon Musk has dropped Apple from his antitrust lawsuit; he is still suing OpenAI; X Corp and SpaceXAI moved to dismiss claims against Apple in federal court in Texas; OpenAI remains a defendant and those claims continue (per muskonomy). Farzad quote-tweeted: What are the chances Elon drops his lawsuit against Sam / OpenAI as frontier AI cooperation continues to deepen? If SpaceXAI becomes one of the biggest providers of compute, why wouldn’t OpenAI be one of its biggest customers? Lawsuit status lines are muskonomy’s; the questions are Farzad’s.

AGI is a low bar

Farzad, Sep 14 afternoon CT: calling today’s frontier models AGI is probably correct; human general intelligence can be quite dumb; that’s how he categorizes today’s frontier AI (quite good at a lot of things, can be quite dumb, like a human). Follow-up: AGI is a VERY low bar for where we’re going. Framing is Farzad’s.

Public X Space ask + Waymo Las Vegas

Farzad, Sep 14 late morning CT, quote-tweeting a Blaze Vance clip (Vance calling AI firms begging for regulation a Trojan horse): Wouldn’t it be great if JD Vance, Trump, Bernie Sanders, Elon, Dario Amodei, and Sam all jumped on an X Space together for 3 hours and hashed this out in front of the public? Space ask is Farzad’s; Vance line is via the Blaze post. Sawyer Merritt, same afternoon: Waymo has just launched Robotaxi rides for the general public in Las Vegas; brings Waymo’s coverage to 15 cities in the U.S. with fully autonomous trips (per Sawyer, citing Waymo cabin/service-area marketing). Farzad RTd. 15-city / Las Vegas public launch claims are Sawyer’s (via Waymo quote in his post).

Frontier America + EA ideology RTs + Cybercab lost item

stepfanie, Sep 14 late evening CT: America did not spend 250 years turning “what’s over there?” into the most powerful civilization just to get scared of frontiers now; we are the frontier; of course AI is terrifying (per her post). Farzad liked and later RTd. ssankar, same window: there is an unseen hand pushing AI safety as a political ideology; Effective Altruists believe a tiny group of technocrats should decide how much technological progress the rest are allowed (per ssankar). Farzad liked and RTd. Farzad, Sep 14 evening CT: trying to get in touch with the Robotaxi team by phone but having a tough time; left an item in the Cybercab and trying to get it back. Lost-item line is Farzad’s; stepfanie/ssankar lines are theirs.
