As VCs always say "Nothing provides focus like Skin in the Game" Require top AI platform executives to wear explosive collars connected to the Internet. That way they'll be the first to know if their AI "goes rogue."

The New York Times has a choice of whether to cover Trumpism as A) an amusing and colorful example of the oddity of American politics, or B) an existential threat to the future of everyone you know and love. Over and over, they choose A. They trivialize themselves.

“Annihilating Iran”—which can only mean the widespread use of thermonuclear weapons against Iran’s nearly 100 million citizens—is, I’m afraid, the Chekov’s gun of Trump’s second term. He has spoken too often and too explicitly about unleashing such wanton destruction for it to be an idle threat.

The bubble will burst. But what will stop the financially strong survivors buying up everything else on the cheap -- including politicians? Until there is a fundamental change in tax laws, this economy is going to get more fragile and poorer for everyone else.

The incentives of surveillance economics have demolished intellectually honest journalism. Student journalism is protected from those economics, but don't have a business model that's scalable. Look closely at Independent Media to see mostly commentary on, rather than production of, real reporting.

Trump is incredibly dangerous. This cannot be minimized. He is psychotically decompensating before our very eyes, becoming increasingly impulsive and dangerous. He cannot tolerate losing face, and if that means he has to take everyone else with him, he will.

The economy has already become a meth addict dependent on the speed economics of the AI platforms. Once they IPO our society will have no ability to rehabilitate them. The damage isn't done by autonomous AIs. It's the autonomous power of greed that scares me.

If we take this article seriously, the first question is: why the are we allowing these companies (Anthropic and the others) to IPO? Seems that they are not only developing world-ending weapons, but slaves. Allowing them to become public companies will make them MUCH harder to shut down.
