AI is reified anti-intellectualism In chapter 4 of 'Why We Fear AI', we argue that this results quite directly from its political economy as a tool to devalue skills and knowledge

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

Which, everybody who had a daily newspaper level understanding of economics was warning back then, too. “Everything he wants to do will raise prices/costs” should have been the most mild allowable descriptor even back then.

it's a very weird spot where we're at culturally where it's like, "I understand why you feel bad about this, bro, but also you got to stop being like that." We don't know how to handle empathizing with someone but also they're still incorrect.

It’s important to remember that most people aren’t engaged in politics AT ALL. To me, it’s utterly inconceivable how people wouldn’t have heard of these two city councilors representing them, but the median voter probably doesn’t even know who the mayor is, much less their city councilors.

Inside chuck schumer there are two wolves. They are a married couple who vote independent. The husband wolf is a gun rights advocate. The wife wolf goes to church every week. They believe in the Democrats, but they hate Mamdani and anything else “extreme” that reminds them of Wolf Fascism.

Woke 7 Alpha pretends to have read every adrienne marie brown and bell hooks book while calling reading and academia “quintessentially Hitlerian.” If this thing goes public, cascading layers of self-diagnosed mental illness and neopronouns will destroy the nonprofit sector.

While we debate Woke 1 being crazy and the resurgence of Woke 2, people should be aware that inside Woke labs they’re developing Woke 7 Alpha. I was just given a sneak peak and this thing is canceling a lesbian bar every six seconds. We are not prepared for the justice-coded grifts that are coming.

The worst part about twitter is there are a number of people who think they have to be active there who are left-leaning but have had their brains absolutely cooked by the site. You can't inundate yourself in exposure to that stuff without it having an impact on you.

We could reduce US fossil-fuel pollution (climate & local air/water) ~25% by cleaning up the grid, ~25% by electrifying ground transport, and ~25% by electrifying heat (for space/water/food/many industrial processes). The last ~25% - everything else - is important but no reason not to do the 75%.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Language is extremely powerful and particularly so in an environment where liars describe their grifts using lies that make them money. AP is rightly being careful not to aid in inflating a bubble that many in media are watching closely. We are unkind in retrospect to fawning press of such things.
