I was going to say that the budget is correlated to the seriousness of the production (à la Melania). But OMG what if this is Ellison’s exploratory committee? So the budget is partly setting up a campaign? He’s already se up a Fox alternative (60 min, CNN + TikTok)

I'm excited to announce that the PLC Organization now has a statute! And a bank account! And a @standard.site publication! All the important stuff. The PLC Org is an independent Swiss Association meant to operate the PLC directory, which collects and distributes signed updates to atproto accounts.

This is why I’m convinced it will be Tucker. He can position himself as an outsider exactly as trump did. JD will paralyze internal competition but if it becomes clear that he has no juice, Tucker regretfully has to jump in. And honestly I can see Trump anointing him at that point.

Interesting blog and the conclusions are sensible. What I think it mainly demonstrates is that Solow type models have limited use in thinking through these questions.

I believe he thinks “launching intelligence to space” is EA-style AIs. It’s his twisted moral calculus that the millions or billions of future AIs will cancel out his DOGE sins

I am generally not a fan of turning public infrastructure into advertising spaces, but I'm willing to make an exception for this ad on an Oslo bus for the world accordion championship.

Articulated buses are commonly nicknamed "accordion buses" because of the flexible, ribbed bellows connecting the two cabin sections.

The bus in the photo features a large graphic of a Roland accordion being played by a giant pair of hands. The two halves of the accordion are on either side of the flexible section, so that it looks like the bellows of the instrument. When the vehicle turns or maneuvers, the real bellows compress and stretch, making it look like the instrument is actively playing.

Above the windows is the text "VM på trekkspill, 16.-22. oktober i Asker Kulturhus" ("World accordion championship, 16th-22nd October in Asker cultural centre")
