#2 Forbes:

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Says He ‘Changed His Perspective’ On Trump—After Musk Bashes ‘Stargate’ Deal

KEY FACTS

In a post on X, Altman wrote that watching Trump “more carefully recently has really changed my perspective on him,” noting, “I’m not going to agree with him on everything, but I think he will be incredible for the country in many ways!”

Trump announced on Tuesday a “Stargate” AI infrastructure deal funded by OpenAI, Oracle, Japan-based SoftBank and Emirati-based MGX, which Trump said would help develop the technology in the U.S. and create more than 100,000 jobs.

Altman said he wished he had “done more of my own thinking” and “fell in the NPC trap,” echoing a phrase often used by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who appears to refer to his critics and media outlets as “non-playable characters” (NPCs) to imply their opinions are controlled by someone else.

#3 About Mr. Hoffman, who at least will have his principles to keep him warm as his friends and admirers fall away:

#4 Also, I do have to wonder if he still wanted a real assassination after the Butler assassination came so close to succeeding, and if he still feels that way now. Wishcasting a flippant remark is one thing; wanting to be the one to make something real happen is another thing altogether, especially after all that’s come out since. And how many of his acquaintance have come around to supporting President Trump? The preference cascade is broad and deep, shockingly (to people like him) encompassing Blacks and Latinos, union members, 18-34 year olds — especially the men in that age group — Zionists, Silicon Valley/tech types, and severely disappointed major Biden/Harris donors. The only ones standing firm are government bureaucrats, wine moms who watch The View, and Antifa fans.
