remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

there's a thing in moderate democratic politics where it is considered fundamentally illegitimate to deliver results to your own voters; instead, you must propose a better way to implement your adversaries' entire ideological program

I also think about Elon saying Biden's DOJ wouldn't prosecute Sam Bankman-Fried because he was a Dem donor... followed by Biden's DOJ nailing SBF, who now posts about how awesome Trump is so he can get a pardon.

It's hilarious that Huang things not knowing his address, zip-code and phone number are a mark of how he is cognitively off-loading to technology and Klein doesn't seem to press him that what he's actually obviously doing is using the fact that he's rich to off-load onto other humans.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

The thing about AI discourse is that a lot of times people aren't arguing about the technology, they're demonstrating which of the following things they think are more complicated: computers, the human brain, a field of potatoes. I saw someone call the brain "a wet computer."

Obviously the feds lie a lot no matter who is president but holy shit if it was at like an 8 before the trump Vance era has dialed it up to an 18 at least. I know u know this but: it is absurd the sheer degree that “assume their statements false until proven otherwise” is just standard operating…

AI won't kill people, people will kill people. You shouldn't plug a non-deterministic computer system you don't understand into anything that could kill us all, and smart, kind humans would never do that. But stupid, malevolent humans absolutely will. (TBC, I think existential risk is overblown)

So much of America's moral rot began with the drug war. Establishing the rule of law around drugs would be a twofer, ridding us of some of the worst influences while also rapidly leading to reform of drug war laws and practices.

We already knew Egyptian intelligence warned Israel ahead of Oct. 7 and the Netanyahu govt dismissed it. Now we learn UAE leader MBZ warned Bibi directly that Hamas was about to try something big. He dismissed that too. One of the worst security failures in history. And followed by so much awful.

No starker example of the media having different rules for each political party. If the press treated Elon Musk like Hasan Piker, every Republican in America would be forced to answer questions about why their party's biggest donor espouses anti-semitic race science.

Once again observing that the awed reverance that our society's elites supposedly had for Supporting The Troops when that was being used to bolster support for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was complete bullshit. Trump shits all over dead troops and they celebrate him. It was all a huge joke to them.
