strongly agreed. fines and criminal penalties should not merely communicate a finger wag but actually change the strategic situation of a would-be white collar criminal

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"

1. These companies steal research. I don’t think there’s any other way to n out this. OpenAI and Anthropic use scientists’ own work against them to steal credit and short cut work with none of the hard conceptual development.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Lets take a basic, very instrumental approach: consider pre-medicine students, for them the histories of scientific racism, eugenics etc is invaluable. For CS and engineering students, critical histories of science and technology are crucial to being better at what they are training to do.

This is an excellent post. These new systems in Asia are impressive. And, importantly, it's applying a lot of things that we figured out here in the 1960s and tried to build ourselves. This isn't foreign.

Why don’t you want people who ascribe to millenarian/doomsday cult beliefs to gain power - like, say, the people running much of the U.S. AI industry? This is because millenarian cultists will notoriously say and do *pretty much anything* to address what they truly think is the end of the world.

"Keynes saw the interwar period, with its terrible suffering, violence, and illiberal politics, as a highly combustible historical moment. Liberal civilization increasingly seemed to him 'a thin and precarious crust erected by the personality and the will of a few…'"

Keynes was a liberal for our age: morally serious, hopeful for a better future, and yet reconciled to the compromises necessary to preserve the fragile liberal order.

The natural conclusion of this is that every nostalgic face from the last period of mass culture consensus will be rendered into an undead puppet. No living actors need apply. At that point... What would be the point of watching visual media?

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.

One thing I'm enjoying most about creating this book is the antagonism between Cheney as interim Southern Reach director and Lowry as more or less the head of Central. That period of time is creating some very funny and yet relevant narrative. Along with Whitby's sad powerpoints. Out Spring 2028.

This. I think it’s also due partly to a more alienating experience spending money. You often don’t interact with any other person to buy something, businesses try to thwart you from contacting them when you have a problem, there are fees and subscriptions that are unclear.
