Gonna be so much fun to watch these invertebrates suddenly decide they're going to stand up to the next Dem president and get slapped the fuck down because Dems understand power politics too

Trump tweet: The White House considers anyone that uses the term, "Artificial IntelligenceạẠạas opposed to the highly accepted new and more
accurate term, "Super Intelligence," THE ENEMY! President

Why are Yankee fans the dumbest baseball fans? Just unbelievably incapable of stopping themselves from interfering with balls in play.

Rooting for Tampa Bay to put the Yankees out of our misery tonight, and also: Their stadium is the worst in baseball and they have AFAICT never had a single uniform that’s not trash. Literally not a single one better than 3/10.

I have to say, I think you're right about this, and I also really feel for your kids if they're going to have to use their brains throughout K-12 and come out well-rounded humans while their peers have fully opted out of forebrain activity during the same period. Gonna make dating interesting.

Eventually it'll come out who's been funding/planning his press junket. My money's on one of the zillion EA funds that are also bankrolling these folks: www.tarbellcenter.org

Jake Tapper doing the "but we don't even know what your agenda is" line on a Dem is just the most disingenuous shit. You know goddamn good and well what an opposition Congress can do with a GOOD president, and it's jack shit. Well, we have a BAD president now and stopping him is the fucking point.

Great pitch for the 2028 nod. Let's forget the last 10 years happened and implement forward-looking ethics reforms, presumably to be carried out by institutions that have basically been sidelined completely. Weird how he only has a spine when he's yelling at the left.

Matt May @mattmay.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Horrifying to imagine how much of that is going to fill the TESCREAL coffers. Especially since that’s a part of the EA pitch: go work for the company you know is evil as long as you give as much of the bad money to us, the good people!

Yeah, I’d already drawn the conclusion that Newton was a tool, this is just the first time I’ve seen evidence of who is wielding him.

All the names I recognize are TESCREAL-affiliated. Coefficient Giving, Survival and Flourishing Fund, Future of Life Institute, EA, etc. Ought (2nd-tier) is actually funded by Coefficient, SFF and EA! ACX Grants = Astral Codex Ten = Scott Alexander. Turtles all the way down.

So, this is bad. NPR is now going to be distributing a podcast funded largely by TESCREAL sources (Open Philanthropy, Survival and Flourishing Fund, Future of Life Institute, EA Infrastructure Fund, and the Astral Codex Ten blog as a kicker) www.tarbellcenter.org/about

100%+. They actually think they're _the_ smartest naturally-occurring intelligences, which makes them the only ones qualified to reason with ASI if the future of humanity depended on it. Some want to upload themselves to the cloud in order to live(/rule the universe) forever.

Pretty typical sample reading from them. I think of it as logician cosplay. This dense thicket of "gamed proxies" and "updated priors." This is what happens when you start off by declaring yourself Natural Champions of Logic and then have to retcon the language of formal logic to back yourself up.

IIRC she was invited to their conference in June, where she wore a badge that said something like "convicted felon, looking for work," and subsequently they hired her (as "Carol") a couple months ago, which is a totally normal, non-sus way to handle things.
