"The whole point of science is that most of it is uncertain. That's why science is exciting – because we don't know. Science is all about things we don't understand. The public, of course, imagines science is just a set of facts. But it's not." Freeman Dyson

I’m concerned he’s not going to take this well and we have set up bad market practice around what norms we have allowed to be rampantly trod upon. Also he’s turning DC into a literal bunker but I’m sure it’s fine.

Bunches of people knew and said it was manifestly silly, but, no, this guy thinks he knows better about everything. Given his ongoing sucking up to DJT, expecting him to change the company name to Super Intelligence or maybe just SI any day now.

Slightly difft issue, but one of awful/scary things about bots is idiot engineers in SV give them offensive personalities, many politically marginal as w/ those two. Not for me for my research (pretty much only thing I use AI for, but am on verge of quitting altogether given insanity of it all).

I detest that everything has gone so thoroughly to shit that we, as a right-thinking society, are simply unable to dedicate enough anger to the fact that we still do this ridiculously inhumane thing.

I asked people to summarize the Hugging Face attack without using anthropomorphizing language, and the answers ranged from weirdly oblique about why anything happened, to outright incomprehensible. I think this neatly illustrates the problem.

Nobody is going to want to hear this, but a real risk we face, no matter who is president next, is that they will see no need to restore the rights lost or the executive power stolen in the last 10 years.

Yes, they're arguing over bestiality at Kash Patel's Senate hearing this morning. But not a word on how Patel received a $25,000 payment before he became FBI director from a Russian propagandist with direct ties to the Kremlin. Read about that in my new book: "How Russia Won." HowRussiaWon.com

The 2020 bestseller PROOF OF CORRUPTION—which the Post refused to review, despite it being a curation of thousands of major-media reports—placed Solomon at the center of a plot to steal the 2020 election. That the Post now frames this treacherous malfeasor as a mere dogged journalist is *deranged*.

One of the things I most hate about Washington culture is how people quote “best and brightest” obviously never heaving read Halberstam’s book. The phrase was ironic. It worked out very poorly; the Best & Brightest led us into Vietnam and then couldn’t figure out how to get out of the war. To wit:

As Americans watch in horror, the swearing-in of Todd Blanche as Attorney General is not a transition of power — it is the formal opening of the most corrupt, predatory, and systematically evil reign of legal terror in the entire history of the United States.

Society of Professional Journalists is currently revising its Code of Ethics. One of the proposed changes is to drop a line that says journalism should “give voice to the voiceless." www.cjr.org/feature/soci... I think they got that right. "Voice to the voiceless" sounds patronizing and Ill-timed.

Trump is scheduled to swear in Todd Blanche right now, but the event is closed to the press, which is odd since most major swearing in ceremonies feature cameras. Trump has no public events on his calendar today.
