We have a tough decision: do we change the name to the "Superior Intelligence Bubble Monitor?" cepr.net/publications...

The AI Bubble Monitor
Is there an AI bubble? Some indicators point to one — and when bubbles burst, there can be massive shocks in housing and job markets that last for years.

In an interview with Time Magazine released today, Trump returned to a familiar theme and declared: "I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest." Right. Because all of the smartest people I've ever known make a habit of repeatedly declaring publicly how smart they are.

I first started working in the Senate in 1970–56 years ago. I have loved and revered the institution, worked in it and with it over all these decades, with dozens of senators from both parties. I’ve seen bad stuff and bad people along with great ones. Nothing quite compares to Eric Schmitt. 1

1. On Tuesday morning, Trump unveiled America dot gov, which he described as “the ultimate product.” Right now, it is basically a chatbot that draws data from official government websites. As a result it is brutally efficient at debunking Trump’s lies.

I don't find the Schmitt Senate fiasco remotely funny. It's just McCarthyism but more incompetent. It's appalling, & a constitutional order that can't end this level of unserious lying & extremist nonsense isn't worth saving. We need massive institutional reform to make sure it never happens again.

After Eric Schmitt lied and was corrected at the Jack Smith hearing, the NY Times called it a “misunderstanding.” This might be fair if Schmitt had a record of honesty (he doesn’t) and if Schmitt didn’t repeat the same lie after the hearing (he did). What the hell is the NY Times doing?

Reporting from Washington
Jack Smith, who as special counsel twice charged Donald J. Trump with criminal offenses after his first term, defended his actions in testimony before Congress on Tuesday, as a Republican senator accused him of perjury based on what appeared to be the lawmaker’s misunderstanding about a basketball game involving the University of Iowa Hawkeyes.
