President Trump and the Republicans had a two year romp through every political fantasy nourished in their heart since The John Birch Society and Richard Nixon, and you know what: it turns out their ideas were bad and are tanking the economy.

"BRITAIN BECOMES DUMP FOR THE NAXI EXILES. Scores of Jews and other exiles are being smuggled into England in small foreign ships, for £25 a time." Daily Mirror, 1938. Sound familiar?

Headline: Britain becomes dump for the Nazi exiles

SCORES of Jews and other exiles, abandoning their homes in the Nazi terror, are being smuggled into England by the captains of small foreign ships who slink inside the three-mile limit at night and put ashore their human cargoes for £25 a time.
This smuggling, once sporadic, is now a racket earning thousands of pounds weekly for captains of French, Dutch and Belgian trawlers.
It was exposed entirely at Hove, yesterday when two foreign seamen were gaoled for smuggling a German in at Shoreham harbour last Monday.
Britain's immigration officers are helpless. They know that Hitler is dumping his unwanted people here. They cannot stop other Mid-European Governments seizing on Britain's lethargy to lower their own unemployment figures.
Every day refugee Spaniards, Jews, Ger mans and Austrians are slipping into Britain Employment agencies are inundated by fran-tic appeals from foreigners who, scared by European unrest, want British security.

I am skeptical of the most florid claims being made about AI's destructive potential, but I do think we need to heavily regulate AI for the sole reason that I would like to hear less about all of these people.

And of course any AI corp’s gross margins are under threat from open models. Unless they can keep the lead in new model R&D they can’t justify 80% margins forever. Interesting transition to having market discipline at that scale

mhintz.bsky.social @mhintz.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Probably doesn’t include cost to develop and train new models (would be booked as R&D I’d guess). If they’re hoping to get a handle on that cost in order to achieve profitability, that might explain recently trying to seed the narrative around slowing down AI advancements.

Sure but it’s apples to oranges. China was in a very different phase of its development in 2000 than the US was. And a probably significant part of the reason China’s grew so much while US shrank was the movement of high polluting heavy industry from USA to China

the retconning is to support the argument that "trump won in 2024 because of anti-woke." but other than some nebulous "vibe shift" and the prominence of a few podcasters, there is vanishingly little hard evidence for this claim.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art

A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will. In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one week period beginning tonight at 6:00PM. Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you. President DONALD J. TRUMP

My theory is that words Claude loves like “gap” and “seam” are close (in an embedding vector space sense) to basic components of its logical chain of thought. So it reaches for them often because it’s trying to express a “Claude-ism” that has no direct English translation. Pure speculation though

Opus is already quite good, Fable is very expensive (maybe they were pushing for IPO-ready margins?), and corps have not overlooked rapid growth of their AI spend. Add in the open weights models lowering the floor and you’ll likely see more intense price competition and margin compression.
