The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

That the electorate could even contemplate such a man rather than reject him outright shames us all. That our founding laws could permit him to get in a position where the electorate could choose him shames our laws. That our institutions have not bodily removed him shames our institutions.

I can't take this Amodei essay seriously, since I don't buy his underlying premise (enough words in the word guessing machine = God). But this CCP scaremongering kinda gives the game away. Why will the "good" AI labs "solving" alignment mean that any other frontier lab doesn't screw it up?

It certainly doesn't help that this same collection of characters shredded the entire administrative state here in the U.S. (Amodei wasn't a Trump/DOGE stooge. But many of his peers were.) They spent the past couple years burning a house down, and now are saying "what we really need is a roof."

A cutaway view of a stone tower containing an elaborate water-powered medieval geared machine. Rising out of the machine is a rainbow-tinted, pixelated God with the robes, beard and all. To one side of this scene is a cluster of tiny people in Jesus-era robes, falling about themselves in religious ecstasy all over a stone staircase, atop of which stands a robed priest with his hands upraised. The background is a set of shining golden rays, emanating from pixel-God.

As expected, the Lake Ontario change is rolling out in the wake of GNIS updates. Bleah. Sure, “companies should simply refuse”, or “USGS employees should resign en masse”, or blah blah blah but the root cause is that the US was dumb enough to re-elect Trump and here’s another stupid consequence.

The U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) has formally changed the name for "Lake Ontario" to "Lake America" in the United States.
Since we update Google Maps to reflect name changes in official government sources, which is GNIS for the U.S., people using Maps in the U.S. will see "Lake America," those in Canada will continue to see "Lake Ontario," and those outside of the U.S. and Canada will see both names. These updates follow our long-standing policy for bodies of water with names that vary from country to country, and are starting to roll out

Hoover didn’t cause the Great Depression. He was president when it hit and didn’t know how to fight it. Bush didn’t cause the financial crisis. He was president when it hit, did some things to fight it. Trump directly caused economic problems with tariffs, corruption, and war. And it’ll get worse.

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.
