One way tech oligarchs retain power is through dual-class shares, allowing them to cash in on public stock markets without giving up power over their companies. @ryanlcooper.com thinks this needs to end: Dual-class shares should be banned, or taxed in proportion to founder control over the company.

“Your Hands Are Full of Blood” — Pope Leo XIV’s Palm Sunday Message to Warmakers
On the first day of Holy Week, the pope invoked Isaiah to declare that God rejects the prayers of those who wage war — with the U.S.-Israeli bombing of Iran entering its second month.

Why talk about how nuts the AI rationalist sex cult is, and not just focus on the (very real) risks and harms of AI? Well, when we're discussing "who should get to regulate AI, and how," I think it's VERY relevant to talk about the antisocial, unsettling ways many people running US AI think.
