the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

one thing i have long thought, in this business of Takes, is that there is an enormous necessity to discipline your own thinking. it is *so easy* to get lazy. to just talk shit. to just outsource your brain to your own comments section.

I do think you basically charge a few of them with the cybercrimes they're committing and the "alignment" problem does suddenly start to disappear.

Interesting to note: per this measure, AI usage increased 5 pp from March to September of this year. Projecting out, that means it'll be about another 30 months before most companies use AI (March of 2029) www.census.gov/hfp/btos/dat...

John C. Calhoun wasn't a conservative; he was a radical. Stephen Miller isn't a conservative; he's a radical. "Tradition" isn't a real thing that once existed and we can go back to, or something worth conserving, but an imaginary place that they'll destroy the current world to create.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

Economically speaking, it's actually pretty bad that anyone implies this. People need to be able to rely on Social Security for optimal retirement planning. There should be very little uncertainty about benefit cuts, let alone about it existing at all.

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

but the problem with AI is not that it doesn’t work, it’s that it does. the problem is the political one of deciding what to do with the resources we have. pretending we don’t have the resources is what the right does in order to avoid taking care of people

Had a weird experience with Claude recently where it apparently added me to A/B testing that switched use of the Write and Edit tools with calls to bash scripts in auto mode? This sucked cuz it meant I can't review the changes while they're made. Took me forever to figure out why it was happening

Mangione is an RFK and Elon Musk fan. It makes perfect sense! His crime was motivated by the same inchoate resentment and conspiracism that leads people towards the reactionary right. The same desire for some unspecified class of villains who can be rightfully subjected to purgative violence.

Indiscriminately putting ankle monitors on an entire nationality, thousands upon thousands of people living in a small community, all of whom were living here entirely legally until a few days ago when you revoked their legal status. It’s an authoritarian nightmare.

We are a city of immigrants, and our long tradition of offering safe haven to all, as well as our laws, reflect that. To every immigrant New Yorker living in fear today: you belong here. And anyone who wants to come for you will have to come through your neighbors and fellow New Yorkers first.

This anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, remember that many people with disabilities are paid below minimum wage and many can’t get married because they risk losing their SSI benefits. SSI recipients cannot have more than $2,000 in their bank account.

"The Odyssey" was a fine movie but its politics were a bit iffy. wouldve been way better if at the end the Odysseus turned to the camera & said "The FOMC shoudn't have raised rates in 2015" & then specified that they should have waited until Q2 2017.

Good time as any to give my opinion about this meme: I have long hated it because various forms of accounting are a) quite important & b) undertaught. We have far too little literacy about managerial accounting, in particular outside a few specialized areas. TLDR things are way worse than this
Sometimes on campus you accidentally walk by a Business class and the professor is writing like "Profit=revenue-costs" on the board and everyone is taking notes like its actual school

AI doomers really don't grapple with how AI has actually developed. It's not like AI can now perfectly do simple tasks and is increasingly mastering more complex tasks. Instead, it fails simple tasks while improving in other areas.

Musk buying twitter, Bezos buying WaPo, Ellison buying CBS—all are less profitable now. But they’re political investments that increase the value of the new owners’ portfolios Wealth concentration makes this possible, and that’s one mechanism by which inequality destroys democracy
