Why it’s not an exaggeration to call them concentration camps ala Dachau. The steady drip of deaths and stories about abuse are deliberate features.

All the stuff in Project 2025 has been circulating in DC discourse for years nay decades, especially in 2nd and 3rd tier think tanks. Just that GOP politicians, specifically legislators but sometimes governors, kept them out of policy because they wanted to get reelected.

Does it kinda suck being a grindset striver? Uh, yeah actually. Is the solution to abandon any notion of a work ethic and just assign people their jobs based on a pure birth lottery? No it's to form unions.

gotta say I really don’t love the use of the Israeli flag here especially when some of the largest foreign institutional investors in data centers are not even Israeli (primarily the gulf states) Sunrise has truly lost the plot ngl

2) A lot of this is Biden-era CHIPS/BIA/IRA spending rolling off, much of which was expected to happen around now one way or another. What I thought would happen in around 2023-4 when I was forecasting some of this was that rates would also not go crazy and we'd have more housing expansion.

Ok. I don't agree with this interpretation for many reasons already bounced around in other places. 1) It's kind of impossible to crowd out investment since credit is basically infinitely elastic as long as the financial sector thinks there is an acceptable future return -- Kalecki!

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

We would all have better conversations about Zionism if we viewed it as a nationalism like all others, akin to diaspora Serbian nationalism from Canadian Serbs. Not a civil rights or social justice cause, but also not a way Jewish people are abnormal or ontologically evil.

I kind of compare it to an auto throttle and flight directors on a plane. You are still in charge but it’s telling you what the best control positions are.

Yakov Feygin @buddyyakov.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yeah with lane holding and that it’s not so far off self driving. Initially it doesn’t feel we safe but then I realized over time it’s because I use the brake more than I should. Especially true with an EV.

Yakov Feygin @buddyyakov.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yeah. I recently started to use my EV’s adaptive cruise control in traffic and yeah, it’s better than I am at minimizing inefficient movement.

Yakov Feygin @buddyyakov.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Sure. Though I’m not sure they have more impact than other hired cars and frankly might have less.

"Is the AI concious, is it like a human, is it a machine god to be?" Insane questions from the culturally Christian. LLMs are Sumerian type demons that can be summoned, bound and charged with tasks. They exist in their own cateogory.

this is by far the best "I quit my AI job over safety concerns" essay yet because it is the first one that is able to talk about safety concerns in practical terms and that understands "safety" as a topic with extensive literature in analogous fields www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Two changes are urgently needed. First: AI companies need to rely more on the safety expertise that already exists in other fields. And second, before we create systems significantly more capable than the ones we have today, we need new science to ensure that more capable models (and their successors) will make safe choices when we aren’t looking.

Given today’s risks, frontier labs need to run like nuclear-power plants or busy airports, with layers of redundancy and careful, time-consuming planning, so that the occasional and inevitable human error does not open a door to disaster. Right now, AI companies don’t know how—but other people do. In a nuclear-power plant, the technical systems and rules people follow are set up so that, if equipment breaks or someone pushes the wrong button, we still won’t risk a meltdown. OpenAI and other labs are growing and deploying frontier AI with far less redundancy and rigor than this, even though the harm from an irreversible loss of control would be much greater than the harm from any single meltdown. Even short of a full loss of control, we could see autonomous swarms of AI agents that act without human permission. Imagine “rogue” agents that work like teams of hackers (for example, holding hospital computer systems for ransom) but never need to sleep.

This is basically the idea that Mises had rejecting empirical research and instead arguing that anyone that didn’t agree with his priors was mentally ill.

so a bunch of the traditional environmental groups held a call to strategize against the permitting bill -- notably in which they acknowledged its net emissions effects but still were dead set in opposition -- and someone on the call leaked the whole transcript punchbowl.news/wp-content/u...
