Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Hanania has gone out of his way to try and persuade the mainstream media types and readers he wants to woo that he is no longer a racist. I don’t buy that, but he is at least putting on *the act.* So it’s extremely telling that this is how he continues to talk about women, rape, and even Epstein.
This manifests in Hanania's contempt for victims of rape and trafficking and his repeated support for age-gap relationships, even those that would constitute statutory rape in many jurisdictions. When The Bulwark broke news on Monday that Gen-Z looksmaxxing influencer Clavicular had been accused of rape, Hanania sprung into action discrediting the allegations. On X, he posted
Women who claim to be sexually assaulted or raped and then continue associating with their alleged attackers deserve zero sympathy.
They re either
1) liars; or
2) making it impossible to differentiate between real and fake allegations, hurting other men and women and society as a whole
A sane legal system would take this into account and not trust such women in criminal or civil lawsuits. They should also be socially stigmatized as bad people.It's no mistake that this is all entangled with Hanania's horrific defenses of Jeffrey Epstein and the abuses on his private island. Hanania has posted that "Hating Epstein represents the essence of antisemitism. The resentment of mediocrities, conspiracy thinking, and chud moralism."
He went so far as to baldly assert that some of the women not only had it coming but even benefited in the end from Epstein's systemic rape operation:
One of the Epstein "trafficking victims" is a prostitute who he met when she was in her twenties, who had sex with him and reported that he gave her an orgasm.
There's more evidence of Epstein being a stud than there is he's what conspiracy theorists
claim.

To use a Claude-ism, Anthropic's "economy adapts quickly" assumption is "load-bearing." If the elasticity of capital supply is on the low end, their own model shows AI producing Silicon Valley's feudalist dream: average wages go down, labor's share of income goes down, net return to capital goes up.

	Jack Clark: One thing that happens in the scenario model is just an implied higher rate of activity in terms of churn in the underlying jobs in the economy. Where basically we expect that AI makes the economy run faster in a bunch of ways. We’ve talked about the rate of creation of new firms. I think you would also expect this to lead to the creation of a bunch of new jobs, and then a key variable is how long does it take a person to go from say an “old job” to a “new job”, and also you might imagine how quickly firms rethink jobs within the concept of a firm and reallocate things — these are big variables. My expectation is the economy adapts around these things surprisingly quickly. Nonetheless, the rate of AI progress is so unprecedented that there might be a temporary mismatch as capabilities arrive faster than the rate of adaptation in the economy. Again, that’s a variable where we’re going to discover things in time.
