Currently, the company's a long way from being profitable, but they got a clean balance sheet, $861 million in cash equivalents and very little debt.

Grail recently raised $110 million thanks to an investment from Samsung, so it's not like they're strapped for cash.

And Samsung brings more than capital.

The companies intend to commercialize Grail's test in South Korea with potential expansion into Japan and Singapore.

More international distribution, more money.

On Monday, September 21st, a group of Iowa Republicans joined a growing national cause, call, I'm sorry, to ease voters' pain by suspending the gas tax and putting an embargo on diesel exports, even as their Democratic opponents accuse them of contributing to the problem with their support for the Iran war.

Among those Republicans calling for change is U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson, who is running for Iowa's open U.S. Senate seat.

Hinson released a statement on September 21st calling for suspending the gas tax, pausing diesel exports, quote, unleashing E15 everywhere we can, end quote, bringing back a dollar a gallon biodiesel tax credit, and creating a diesel relief program for farmers and truckers.

Hinson's statement said Iowans are being squeezed and shouldn't have to foot the bill at the pump or the checkout line for the war in Iran.

Hinson has voted against resolutions to limit President Donald Trump's war powers and end the Iran conflict.

She went on to say we need to use every option at our disposal to provide some relief from high prices.

Hinson said the government also needs to act to replenish the Highway Trust Fund so that Iowans don't suffer from crumbling roads and bridges while relief comes our way now.

Hinson's Democratic opponents, State Representative Josh Turek, previously proposed a plan to lower gas prices, issuing a call on September 16th for a pause on all diesel exports, temporarily suspending the federal gas tax and tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower prices.

And we can look towards, if we think from a business perspective, we can look towards how human relationships are formed to give us a bit of a steer as a business.

So human relationships, there's a really great model, social penetration theory, Altman and Taylor.

And I like this one because everybody can visualize it.

They liken relationship building to an onion.

Superintelligence evoca inevitabilidad y dominación estadounidense, más que una herramienta susceptible de regulación.

Además, llega en un momento incómodo, justo cuando la sesión del Consejo de Seguridad presiona por normas de seguridad compartidas y cuando el equipo de Xi Jinping está en Washington para conversaciones bilaterales sobre inteligencia artificial.

El rebautizo y la diplomacia avanzan en sentidos opuestos al mismo tiempo.

En esa agenda bilateral, la llegada de Xi a Washington coloca el diálogo sobre inteligencia artificial entre Estados Unidos y China al nivel del Departamento de Estado por primera vez en lo que va del año.

Amber, ¿qué hay de nuevo en ese frente?

El desarrollo concreto es que la gobernanza de la inteligencia artificial entró en la agenda bilateral formal, con ambas partes acordando intercambiar documentación sobre líneas rojas técnicas antes de que termine el trimestre.

Let's find out more.

Joining us now in the studio is Sam Amidi.

He is sales director at Mortgage Finder.

Sam, great to have you in the studio.

How are you?

I'm well.

But also speak directly with your banks as well, because sometimes they can give you a new deal and kind of tie you in for a period of time.

Interesting stuff.

But I mean, that's the thing.

Like, what was it? The, who's the, who is the open AI guy? The CEO, Sam Altman.

Sam Altman was at a conference recently.

He was like, Sam Altman? Altman.

La paradoja: el CEO que encabeza esa propuesta es la misma persona que acaba de publicar un ensayo de tres mil ochocientas palabras instando a la industria a frenar el ritmo.

Anthropic fue un paso más allá hoy, comprometiéndose de forma unilateral a otorgar a evaluadores independientes externos acceso permanente a sus sistemas con nivel de empleado.

La primera de las tres salvaguardas de ritmo propuestas por Amodei, que dice adoptará de inmediato, independientemente de si los competidores se suman.

Daniel, ¿qué está pasando al otro lado del Atlántico en materia de seguridad?

No, no, that's...

Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam.

You're a meatball sandwich human being.

We all agree on that.

You know, it's

so funny.

I would like to, uh, I would like the, and you do enough shit where we could do this a weekly, it could be a weekly segment called shame, Sam, where, um, two weeks ago, Sam said that he would, because, you know, in terms of contributing to the podcast, um, Sam does, uh, you know, outside of his comedic musings and rapiers wit and, uh, and well, yeah.

Is that good? Is rapers wit good? That sounds incredibly awful.
