Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

AI Sometimes Deceives to Survive. Does Anybody Care?
Lawmakers are neglecting AI safety even as it shows more deceptive behavior. That is a grave mistake.

The US built up an unsustainable reliance on foreign capital over the last few decades and as that flow now reverses, US assets will inevitably reprice lower. While many say this is like a typical EM BoP crisis, there are important differences on what's likely to come. Thread.

I just re-read the full Declaration of Independence. It's the most illuminating and depressing thing I've read in a while. Highly recommend folks give it a read. Many — if not most — of the complaints levied against King George are indistinguishable from those brought against President Trump today.
