This is the same Jaan Tallinn who led Anthropic's series A and same Tallinn who funds METR (rogue models "third party 🙄 auditor) also same Tallinn who cofounded The Future of Life Institute which is advising @sanders.senate.gov & his alliance with Steve Bannon 🙄

Exactly. It's not just ceding the *ideas* as much as it's ceding the definitions of these terms. Blue municipal government constantly fights the NIMBY/MAGA coalition, and they are absolutely separable. Any decent politician should know this, but alas.

I literally see no problem or error in what he says here. Effective governance has to be inextricably intertwined with rhetoric and demonstration, not just *the perfect policy*. Anything else cedes and breeds wedge issues.

That’s a thoughtful policy that will change countless lives for the better — but will it get the thumbs up from Dan, the man who inherited a $3 million property his dad bought for $7000 half a century ago? Tune in for the results of the ballot initiative, next week in — The Bay Area!

Been knocking hundreds of doors for the last 10 years. It's just rare for me to hear someone express this sentiment. Especially in the context of the current state of our country. I'd prefer you were a psyop, but people like you certainly exist.

As a reminder, the things that are so grotesque about the arch are 1) it's a monarchic symbol of triumph utterly in conflict with our values and system of government but also 2) it will break the intended sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.

You could give a single fk about people living under a violent military dictatorship in Gaza, but ya don't. You could give a single fk about Arab American voters who were furious about the Biden administration handing over our foreign policy to Netanyahu, but ya don't.

VK stand for Vladimir Kremlin or something? I don't know why you wouldn't just do the bare minimum duty of a citizen. If you'd vote in a close TX race, you should also vote in a safe CO race.

And yes, worse, because this is yet another appointee fundamentally at odds with the mission of the organization they lead. Two flavors: Whitaker, a soulless apparatchik, chosen for loyalty, parroting Trump nonsense. And zealot wrecking balls like RFKJr at HHS and Vought at OMB.

They're held in line by a lot more than Trump: the right-wing speaker junket/publishing/consultant complex. It's a very comfy retirement if they just hold their nose a bit longer.

Quick reminder that Elon Musk intentionally manipulates markets, overstates what his companies can do, and engages in election fraud. He's not going to prison and is a trillionaire.
